Early Life
Robyn Jones, born in Alberta, Canada, married her teenage sweetheart, Mark Jones, shortly after high school. Their early life involved raising their six children while Mark pursued higher education and a career in consulting. The demands of Mark's job prompted Robyn to seek a more family-friendly path, leading her to explore the insurance industry.
Rise to Success
In 2003, Robyn launched a small property and casualty insurance agency. The business, founded to balance family life and professional ambition, quickly gained traction. Mark joined her full-time in 2004, and together they built Goosehead Insurance, focusing on client-first service, offering more options, better support, and a smarter way to buy insurance. The company went public in 2018.
Key Business Strategies
The core strategy behind Goosehead Insurance was to prioritize clients and build the business around their needs, offering a wide range of choices and superior service. The Joneses also separated sales and service roles, fostering specialized expertise within the company. This approach led to rapid growth, with Goosehead expanding to over 1,000 franchises by 2024.
