    • Tweetable Quotes:

    • "If you're paying for it and not giving it to people, how are you using that to generate new business?" - David Carothers
    • "When you're cold calling, you've got to get their attention right out of the box. You can't just go in and say, I'd like to talk to you about your insurance and risk management program." - David Carothers
    • “I would walk in, I would ice break, use some Jones effect and some indifference. And I would add some sense of urgency at the very end of it and say, ‘I'm just looking to introduce myself, you know, real quick to the person.’ So that real quick part, that's the sense of urgency.” Kyle Houck
