Re: Any and all advice
If you want to go into poduction/sales in P&C, I generally agree with "D". With that being said, first look within yourself and do what you enjoy. You are going to go to work everyday for the next 40 years, so make sure it is as fun, enjoyable, and brings you as much satisfaction as po...

Re: How many servicers do you need?
There are so many variables involved. If you are going to use company service centers well, you may just need a few servicers. If you are going to service the accounts yourself you will need more servicers. Are these mono-line accounts, or are the "full rounded out"? This makes a big diffe...

Re: Who's your favorite personal lines carrier?
I have four really good preferred carriers, but it seems that they are all very similarly priced on most of my new business quotes. I need someone that wins on price more often. We can sell on coverage and service most of the time, but sometimes you just need a great price. I would love to have fou...

Re: Knob & Tube wiring
I have been told the problem seems to be higher amperage appliances and other electical apparatus that overload and overheat this type wiring.

Re: What Would Your Veteran Self, Tell Your Newbie Self...
Of course profit matters, but starting out owning your own business....positive cash flow matters the most. You can be profitable, but if you run out of money everything else comes to a halt.
