Most insurance and mortgage agents are stuck in the same exhausting cycle:

Buy leads
Chase cold prospects
Follow up manually
Repeat
What if you could replace that cycle with a system that attracts high-intent leads and qualifies them automatically?

In this episode of The Modern Insurance Agent Podcast, we sit down with Phil Ganz, owner of Next Wave Mortgage, to break down the modern growth formula that generated 1,200+ high-intent leads in the last year without spending on lead vendors.

Phil operates in Florida and California and has built:
β€’ A proprietary SEO ecosystem of 155+ websites
β€’ A 13-agent team running almost autonomously
β€’ Nearly 80% year-over-year growth using AI, automation, and hyper-personalized follow-up

πŸš€ Inside This Episode
