Key Quotes:

  • “Basically, what we did, is we figured out a way to get our CSRs involved… which is the number one thing. I’d love to say that I was the greatest thing since… whatever, for selling life insurance… But, if you’re an agency owner, your CSR is the key to whether or not you sell off insurance, whether you know it or not.” – Josh Callahan
  • “I think we can show any agency, whether you’re a one-man shop with one CSR. If you’ve got 40 people, that’s the kind of people we’re working with right now, and we’re excited about what it’s going to look like.” – Josh Callahan
  • “The biggest thing is making sure your CSRs are not scared and they’re able to just transition into it. It’s amazing. They get better and better every time, once they realize how people are willing to talk to you about it.” – Josh Callahan
