The Start of a Visionary Journey
Ian Zollos, the founder of Zollos Agencies, began his entrepreneurial journey at just 16 years old, selling shoe cleaner on a commission-only basis. That early experience sparked a passion for sales, eventually leading him to the life insurance industry. Despite facing challenges and financial setbacks in his first year, Ian’s resilience paid off. By his second year, he had hit six figures, and within a few years, Zollos Agencies became one of the fastest-growing life insurance companies in the country.
Overcoming Obstacles with Determination
Ian’s road to success wasn’t easy. He faced uncertainty and was let down by some of those who initially believed in his vision. However, his unwavering faith in the company’s mission and his commitment to overcoming obstacles kept him moving forward. “I kept pushing forward, even when the odds were against me,” Ian recalls. His determination and belief in his vision were key to Zollos Agencies’ growth and success.
A Mission to Protect Families and Empower Agents
Zollos Agencies has always been driven by a mission to provide financial protection for working-class families, especially those in high-risk professions such as police officers, firefighters, and teachers. Ian’s agency now serves over 30,000 unions, changing lives and ensuring these families are prepared for life’s uncertainties. Ian takes pride in helping his team grow, with one of his first recruits earning $50,000 in a single week—a defining moment for Ian and the agency.
Looking ahead, Ian’s vision is to protect 1 million families and expand Zollos Agencies to all 50 states and 20 countries by 2026. His commitment to total dedication is evident as he states, “Plan B is the death of Plan A,” emphasizing that his focus will remain on building a legacy that impacts the world.
