“When you win on price, you lose on price.” Michael Weaver 

What’s in this episode:

Progressive might be winning on price in Q1 of 2025—but that doesn’t mean you have to lose. In this solo episode, Michael Weaver gives you a no-bs breakdown of how to handle aggressive market shifts and stop bleeding business to competitors. He covers the three things every agency should do right now: track what’s really happening with your book, master your value pitch to retain and convert, and implement a win-back strategy that brings business back through the door. Whether you’re losing to Progressive, Geico, or anyone else—it’s time to stop complaining and start controlling what you can control.

  • [00:00] Intro “Focus on what you can control”
  • [01:00] Progressive is winning on price—but what can you do?

  • [12:00] Step 3: Implement a win-back strategy
  • [14:30] “You can’t force people to buy—but you can make it hard to say no”
  • [16:30] Why attitude is your ultimate competitive advantage
