You had an incredible response to this episode, so today he's sharing another business favorite - his favorite app! Spoiler alert - it's VOXER. Listen to find out why. Then, try it out when you connect with Bradley on Voxer using this link: https://web.voxer.com/u/bradleyhamner

In this episode, we are sharing another listener favorite interview. Bradley talks with Vlad Cherchenko about his insurance career, his powerful sales referral process, and his consulting agency.

Vlad shared how his sales referral process helped him write 152 policies in his 9th month as an insurance producer, and how he continued to write 150+ policies after that.  You can get his free sales script on his website, linked below.  While that script is focused on insurance agencies, anyone who runs a business that needs referrals will benefit from it!

He launched his consulting business in 2016 after a ton of agents reached out asking him to work with their staff.  He now trains insurance agents and their staff across the nation on his unique sales & referral process.

To learn more about Vlad’s sales process, his masterclass, and more, you can text COMP to 503-864-6974 or visit www.insurancesaleslab.com.
