Exclusive lead source - largest membership day yet

I took on a vice president for the association - friend of mine in MD who's been licensed for over 20 years and a CE instructor for 15 years. He's obviously bringing a lot to the table.

He's been using an exclusive lead source and just crushing it - turned me onto some of the leads and I closed two today. Just fantastic. If anyone wants the info on the leads you're gonna have to call me or email me - it's not gonna be posted, except association members have the scoop.

Largest day for memberships to date - growing very very quickly. There is a lot of strength in numbers and I'm on the horn hours a day talking to everything that is insurance related working on all sorts of deals.

We are starting a mailing campaign next week - mailers going out to newly licensed agents; just passed the test - ink's not dry on their license.

I think we can go a very long way in keeping agents out of bad situations - and we all know what I'm talking about.

Everyone following along with this blog - you are witnessing the birth of what will eventually be the largest insurance association in the country - over time (and no time soon) we can add life, senior and P&C to the mix and have the 1st "independent agent association."

With tons of members just imagine what can be lined up for benefits - and think of the eventual power we can have even dealing with carriers. What will absolutely happen is we'll put a nice dent in the more unethical outfits. It'll be very very interesting as things progress.

Craziness and live webinar today

Well, my goal a while back when I started this blog was gear myself into being busy all day. Safe to say I've accomplished that.

Still calling 1o clients a day - yesterday I called 20. I'm working on solving a few problems - a few feel they've been billed in error. When I asked why they didn't call me the main response was they didn't think I handled stuff like that.

I'm gonna be moving 2 clients over to GRs HSA 100 - they're currently on Assurant's copay plan and I can really lower their rate.

On the association front I ran three webinars yesterday, dealt with arranging some affiliations and am getting a lot of calls and emails about it. Which brings me to my next topic:

It's easier for me to answer all the questions at once so today anyone can jump on a webinar and I'll go over the benefits of membership and answer any questions.
