Matt Starkey, the creator of The Gapper™, built a successful insurance agency by finding coverage gaps in prospective customers’ insurance programs and using the resulting credibility to get sales. Over a 15 year span, this approach built a book of business with annual commissions in excess of $1,000,000. After selling his agency, Matt set out to build a tool to help any producer use this powerful technique to win commercial accounts. The Gapper is the result of that effort, and it is the heart and soul of a highly effective, efficient, and professional selling approach.
