[00:00:00] -This episode is geared towards new producers who are just starting out their careers. I've been working in the insurance industry for over 20 years now. I want to share with you some of the best advice I've learned along the way.

[00:00:33] - You've got to choose something that you're passionate about. Go after that target market. Create content that solves problems for that niche. Be a storyteller. 

[00:04:47] - InsurGrid makes it a seamless process and a very fast one in that you send your prospect a link. They click on that and it takes them to a login page where they choose their existing carrier. In the background, it sends the information that you, as the agent, need to start a quote.

[00:06:10] - Wunderite is the replacement for basically what we used to do with insured or prospects and clients. It has digitized thousands of carrier supplemental applications. Once they fill it in, you can pre populate that information into other supplemental apps. It's genius to work smarter, not harder.

[00:07:48] - Marble Box is your virtual insurance processing team that lets you do the people stuff while they do the rest. As a new producer, thank those who help you and thank them constantly.
