If the balance is 181K and you've been paying on it for a little while, please send me the name of the salesperson who sold it to you. I could make a fortune off of them. Surely, you understand that ad campaigns are not a single-attack event. If you are spending this many $$$ on YP ads, what else ha...

WOW! What a variety of answers, huh? Most out here are in business casual, but I'm choosing to run shirt and tie in my office. Thanks for the responses.

dress code

Fellas, I was wondering what rules everyone had here as far as men's dress code in the office. Is it shirt and tie or business casual? French cuffs or regular? Do you see that it makes any difference at all?

I'm not real sure if this is a question of legality or ethics. I think you could take the money in some cases dependent upon the company, but then you would have to readjust your policy for the type of shingles that are now on the roof. If you can sleep at night and do this, by all means go ahead. I...

Re: someone called and asked if we insure Donkeys

Hey Uninformed! How long have you been in the insurance business? Its called Animal Mortality and many large and small insurance companies provide it for even Donkeys! Sometimes I am very unimpressed with the stuff I see on this forum. You know, I think this thread was started to show the lighter s...

I was out cold-calling crop insurance prospects in NW Oklahoma. Just before getting to the barn, I was approached in a not-so-friendly way by a mangy old farm dog who looked at me and turned and left. Then from around the other side of the house, came a nice dog who was bleeding from the ear. The wi...

You get a complete app, ready for submission to a carrier of your choice for five to ten percent of the expected commission
This is the part I was talking about.

Okay, I've read and read again and re-read this post 'til I can't see straight. Email me - I'm in.

Suspicious? Hell, if I had your name I'd turn your license in. Where are you getting all the data from? How can you possibly know everything there is to know and not write it yourself? Why would I pay you 1K for an acct that I then only get 5 to 10% of the commission for? It sounds to me like you're...

SIAA wouldn't look at me b/c of my size and state. I guess in Iroquois' eyes I'm a new agent, and they had no problem whatsoever taking me on. The whole key to beloning to a group is geographic locale.
