Our latest poll question stems from an insightful message from Kiwi risk specialist adviser,\u00a0Brian Burgess, at the\u00a02026 MDRT Global Conference<\/a>\u00a0in Sydney last week.\n<\/p>\n

Burgess said advisers struggling to find enough hours in the day might benefit from asking a simple question about every task they perform: Should I do it, delegate it or dump it? (See:\u00a0Do it, Delegate it or Dump it<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n

His views prompted us to wonder whether other advisers feel the same way about delegating these type of tasks \u2013 completing life insurance applications in particular. For a one-person practice, such delegation may not be possible, but if it were, would you do so?\n<\/p>\n

Burgess said the pressure he had been experiencing in his advice business wasn\u2019t simply the product of wanting to grow. It was because he was \u201c\u2026spending far too much time in the wrong part of the business.\u201d \u00a0As he sees it \u201cDelegation is not laziness. It\u2019s not avoidance. It\u2019s structure.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

So what is your view? Is this type of delegation for you? Is it both plausible and do-able? Or if not do-able just yet, might you do so in the future?\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll report back on your thinking next week\u2026
