ok,ok. it aint gonna change. well, it will change a little more,going the same way its been in past few years-- us agents will do more work,get less commission,have to TRAINe more underwriters and be stuck with high reserves on claims. we will be be-rated because of lack of production, loss ratios being to high,be covered up with "new products", changes in policy language,argue with adjusters--- WHY, because of the IVORY TOWER MENTALITY at most of the companies,squeeze the agents. 1971 I went to hartford with Aetna agents school right out of college, to learn "the business",owned my own agency ,sold my agency,now run one with revenues in the millions for someone else-- i have seen it all....INA,HOME,AETNA-- WHERE ARE THEY NOW?THE SUN WILL COME UP TOMORROW AND WE WILL HAVE THE SAME OLD SITUATIONS ,JUST DIFFERENT FACES.gotta put up with it all, if you dont have the gold you dont have the rule....smell the roses,its still a fun business....
