Key Quotes:

• “I started two years ago... trying to start down the independent path. I still have a ways to go, it's constant changing. I think that's what makes insurance so much fun.” - Pam Wells
• “I think we're not just selling you a policy. We're the trusted advisor. Our goal is to make sure you're financially stable. You go find it online. You're just gonna buy whatever and you're going to buy the cheapest. But, that's where we come in.” - Pam Wells
• “I had some great people and they went on, and did something else. And, I appreciate that, and I respect that, and I'm happy that I was part of their journey. But, I'm on my journey, and I want to get the right people in my bus and let's just ride along the way. And, if they want to stay as long, and they're productive, I want them to stay.” - Pam Wells
