The saying goes, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
Whether you’re navigating employee benefits market trends, setting revenue goals, or developing your team, a solid plan gives you the structure and direction to make it a reality.
We love to see your success and hear your stories. Here we are, coming around the corner into 2025, and we’re excited to introduce our updated Q4i Annual Planning Guides!
These free, downloadable resources are designed to simplify the planning process for producers and agencies of all sizes or stages of their careers. They’re packed with reflection exercises and thoughtful templates to help you create a roadmap for the year ahead.
Why planning matters more than ever
A well-thought-out plan gives your team clarity, aligns your goals with your strategy, and sets measurable milestones to keep you on track.
Beyond the business benefits, planning fosters a culture of accountability and teamwork. Engage your team, define your vision, and build the momentum to achieve it.
Without a plan, it’s easy to get stuck in the daily grind. Goals get sidelined, opportunities slip by, and you react to problems instead of proactively solving them.
What’s inside the Q4i Annual Planning Guide suite?
Our planning guides are tailored to meet the various needs of an agency. Here’s a quick overview of what’s available:
- Agency Annual Planning Guide: A comprehensive tool to evaluate current performance, set business objectives and goals, and map out your agency’s future.
- Marketing Annual Planning Guide: Create a structured plan to boost brand visibility, engage your audience, and achieve measurable results.

Each guide is designed to cut through the BS too many planning methods require and focus your attention directly on what matters: the intentions and behaviors that drive the results you want to see.
