“Sales is solving problems — and you don’t get to do that if you never call them back.” Michael Weaver
What’s in this episode:
In this solo episode, Michael Weaver breaks down the real reason most insurance professionals lose sales — poor follow-up. If you’ve ever sent a quote and never heard back, or felt like reaching out again might make you seem pushy, this episode is your wake-up call. Michael shares proven follow-up strategies used by top-producing agencies, including the 48-hour rule, the 20-day new lead cadence, and how to stay persistent without being annoying. This episode isn’t just about follow-up — it’s about taking control of the sales conversation, closing with confidence, and becoming a professional who clients trust and remember.
