Are you disgusted yet? Yes, disgusted! But, disgusted with your own personal sales results, more specifically. I mean, at the end of the day, nothing will get better until you become disgusted enough with the results you've been getting that you then implement change and do something different. It really is that simple. Building a $1,000,000 or more Book of Business through a signed Broker of Record Letters is really that simple. That hard, but also that simple.

In today's episode, host ⁠Charles Specht⁠ will explain to you the "buckets" you should be most concerned about, and how to know what to change and by how much.

Moreover, the next cohort of the "PERMISSION PRODUCER SCHOOL" will be starting on October 6, 2025. Find out more information by visiting:⁠ www.PermissionProducerSchool.com⁠

Asking for the signed BOR is part science and part art. And, timing is everything! You need to be careful to not ask too soon and also to not waiver on the fence of indecision by never getting around to popping the actual question.

In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host ⁠⁠⁠Charles Specht⁠⁠⁠ will teach you how to ask for the signed Broker of Record Letter at just the right time (not too soon and not too late) and how to ask with just the right words to get what you want. Why is this so important? Because ... you rarely get what you don't ask for!

Also, PERMISSION PRODUCER SCHOOL launches on October 14th - 18th. Get registered before it is too late!

You get out what you put in. You win championships when you do the good work. You reap what you sow. These are the realities of what happens to people (and teams) who do the right things over and over again. Success comes to those who do the right work and stay consistent. Last time I checked, none of your insurance carriers pay any "consolation commission" when you come in 2nd place. It's all or nothing, baby! If you sow inactivity, you will reap the wind. If you sow inactivity for long periods of time, you'll reap the whirlwind. If you don't do the proper prospecting work, you won't schedule any new business appointments or win any signed BOR's or secure any deposit checks. The choice is yours.

In this throwback episode, host Charles Specht reminds, motivates, and guides you on what and why you need to reconsider what you're doing in order to get the results you actually want.

Key Topics:

Why being busy doesn’t mean being productive

The real reason you’re not getting appointments or BORs

How second place in sales pays nothing literally

The time audit every producer needs to do

How the wrong daily tasks kill your commissions

Why consistent prospecting is the only path to winning

Imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time

Have you ever been rejected when doing your prospecting? Of course you have. Probably thousands of times in your life so far. It comes with the territory. But putting in the work helps you find your people. Getting hundreds of "No's" helps you find the dozens who say, "Yes!" 

In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast host ⁠⁠Charles Specht⁠⁠ explains how to embrace the rejecting haters when prospecting in order to find the people who want to do business with you and say, "Yes!"

There are THREE things that if insurance producers did, they would have far more success at prospecting and selling insurance. What are these THREE things you might ask?

Insurance agents who struggle at setting new business appointments with prospects, or winning signed Broker of Record Letters, or winning through a quoting process, are typically agents that don't have a Competitive Differentiation that makes the prospect say, "Wow!" In other words, if you don't have anything -- either a tangible service or a unique process -- that separates you from other competitors, your prospect will subconsciously toss you in the bucket of mediocrity and not do business with you. Why? Because, they already have an agent equal to or better than you, so they don't need you.

In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host ⁠⁠Charles Specht⁠⁠ will GIVE YOU EXAMPLES of differentiation services, both that are insurance-related and also Micro-Niche focused.

No doubt you were hired to sell insurance. But did your agency leadership make you FIRST prove that you can prospect to set appointments? I would suspect probably not. And, that's why so many insurance producers fail and don't make it -- or at least why they don't make enough money. They are good at relationship building and closing business, but they just can't set enough appointments.

In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host ⁠⁠Charles Specht⁠⁠ will talk about what you need to start saying in order to set more new business appointments with your prospects. After all, prospecting is a numbers-game but selling insurance is a relationship-game.

Imagine setting twice as many new business appointments with your prospects, tripling your win percentage, writing more accounts, writing larger-revenue generating accounts, and winning most (all?) of these new clients by signed Broker of Record Letter, rather than going through a normal quoting process.

Sound to good to be true? Well, it's not. It's exactly what I teach and train my Producer clients to do. And, in this throwback podcast interview, host ⁠⁠Charles Specht⁠⁠ will tell you what the one thing is that you need to do FIRST in order to make all of this come true.
