What’s in this episode:
What separates agents who survive year one from those who dominate it? In this highlight episode, you’ll hear from two standout new agents—one who ranked #2 out of 20,000+ agents and another leading in auto growth in a territory of 1,000+. They unpack what really moves the needle early in agency life: delegation, onboarding, team structure, and the often-overlooked power of follow-up systems. Whether you're just getting licensed or looking to reset your first-year game plan, this episode hands you the tactical playbook to accelerate growth fast.

[01:00] Why training is a non-negotiable in high-performing cultures
[02:30] What to delegate (and what to keep) as a new agency owner
[04:00] Retention secrets: In-person appointments and relationship-building
[06:00] Community involvement that actually drives business
[07:00] The mindset shift: your blessings are meant to bless others
[08:00] Top 3 drivers behind auto growth in a hard market
[09:30] The onboarding swag strategy that keeps clients loyal
[11:00] Why service will suffocate growth (and how to get out fast)
[13:00] Specialized roles for smoother operations
[15:00] The 30-day follow-up template that changes everything
[17:00] Why consistency is the hill to die on in insurance sales
