🎙️ 19 Game Changers for Insura-Preneurs, Part 2: Talent, Time & Total Market Domination

If Part 1 was the blueprint, Part 2 is the ignition switch.

This final episode in the two-part series dives into the operational levers that separate scalable agencies from stagnant ones — the kind of moves most owners never make, but the best never skip.

Inside this episode:

✅ Why “Customer Experience Innovation” is the last true moat in a commoditized market

This isn’t theory. It’s the real-world discipline behind Maximum Customer Lifetime Value — and the path to Peak Valuation.

🎧 Listen now and learn how to build a business that doesn’t depend on you pulling all the levers.

It only takes one move to trigger the inflection point that changes everything — your income, your time, your valuation.

In this solo strategy session, I’m handing you the same high-leverage tools I’ve taught to 7- and 8-figure agency owners — the exact plays that helped them scale smarter, work less, and command premium valuations.

💡 Inside this episode:

✅ The Strategic Horizon framework (and why most owners are stuck in the wrong stage)

✅ The three Growth Models Sales, Marketing, or Blended (and which one fits your agency best!)

✅ A real Growth Plan that turns strategy into action (and behavior into results)

✅ System-building that frees you from day-to-day labor (while growth keeps accelerating)

✅ The ACOR Marketing Model (finally, a way to organize your marketing that makes sense)

✅ Lead Gen & CLV— two sides of the same profitability coin (and most agencies only focus on one)

✅ Choosing customers intentionally (the simple move that increases retention and margin)

This isn’t theory. These are real-world strategies that have added millions in value and returned hundreds of hours to agency owners just like you.

🎯 You’re one insight away.

Most agency owners are asking the wrong question.

They’re stuck on “What’s my agency worth today?”

In this hard-hitting solo episode, Michael Jans throws open the strategic vault and lets you in on the 12 critical levers that drive value — not someday, but right now.

You’ll discover:

✅ Why two nearly identical agencies can sell for 4X… or 13X — and what makes the difference
