Hi there!! I am a newly licensed agent (two weeks ago today) and am currently working through the red tape that all new agents have to go through to get established with their new companies they are working with. I'm actually working with two firms and I'm excited to finally get started. I'm a very seasoned sales professional with 25 years under my belt in both inside and outside sales. I recently discovered the genius that is Jeremy Miner, have taken his sales training and will be implementing it moving forward. I am looking forward to hitting the ground running with help from my teammates and now, hopefully, from this group as well. Please stop by and say hello. 🙂

The goal of this group is to equip the next generation of health, life, and P&C agents and owners with the tools, resources, and systems needed to acquire clients, build their books, and grow their agencies.
