Agents Are Coached and Mentored by the Company Founder

Mr. Russ Smart is an unusual combination of technical expertise and practical business experience. After completing his MBA at the University of Toronto, Russ went on to study for three years toward a PhD in Marketing. His career path has been anything but theoretical as he has excelled in a wide range of management positions. As an entrepreneur, Russ has successfully built and sold several companies as both a master franchiser and franchisee and a successful insurance brokerage.

Russ germinated the idea of selling life insurance non face-to-face from his home office in 2001 as an independent life insurance broker. He pioneered many of the processes that have been adopted by the industry as he grew his company, IDC Insurance, to be an industry leader with close to 10,000 clients under his management. The highlight of his insurance career was achieving the MDRT Top of the Table recognition.

When it was time to sell IDC Insurance, he looked at a number of options and selected Mr. Nguyen and his team who not only shared Russ’ vision but would continue to grow and assert IDC’s position as the premier “online insurance brokerage” in Canada. Russ is celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary in 2015 with his wife Dianne. He has two children and eight grandchildren. His family and faith are the focus of his life although he does spend time with his wife ballroom dancing, going to the gym, travelling and his hobbies of photography and video.
