After losing $6.5 million in premium in just 24 months, most agency owners would’ve tapped out. But Cole Caughern rebuilt—smarter. Michael and Courtney unpack the comeback: how he shifted his mindset, reorganized his team, and built a lean, high-performing sales engine.

You’ll learn why Cole ditched one-size-fits-all sales roles, how he uses data to cut waste, and what he looks for in top producers. Whether you're rebuilding or scaling, this episode is a blueprint for building a resilient, specialized team
