Thanks for the honesty and transparency, it is greatly appreciated and hopefully, it is appreciated by your clients. As far as a couple of other comments in response to my post, I am not a BOP account so, I can't easily "shop" my insurance amongst multiple agents/brokers, like when I buy a car, I have to pick one agent or broker and ride with them. When purchasing a car, a BOP or small business policy or some form of commodity, I don't really care what commission the salesman makes, because in the end, you have many dealers competing for my business and can easily judge the product by it's attributes and ultimate price/value proposition. not so in complex insurance transactions so, the analogy doesn't work.
