What’s in this episode:
Scaling from 200 to 600 policies a month isn’t luck—it’s process, accountability, and relentless execution. In this episode, George Elossais breaks down exactly how his agency tripled production in three years to become a Top 10 office out of 20,000.

You’ll hear how he trains new hires to write auto, fire, life, and health in 30 days, why activity metrics (1,200 calls + 20 fact finders) are non-negotiable, and how AI is fueling smarter marketing and onboarding. If you’re ready to lead a high-volume, high-retention team, George hands you the playbook.

[05:00] The “30-Day Rule”: new hires writing auto, fire, life, and health fast
[10:00] The role of shadowing, scripting, and immersion in training
[14:00] Metrics that matter: 1,200 calls, 20 fact finders, 4 referrals
[18:00] Using fact finders to train smarter, not harder
[22:00] Scripts > checklists: eliminating weak conversations
[25:00] Churn control: why recommendations must be need-based
[28:00] Marketing at scale: feeding 15 leads per day per rep

When was the last time you asked yourself, “What’s the one place I have to see before I die?”

In this deeply personal episode, Michael & Courtney share the story of their African safari — from trekking with gorillas in Rwanda to hearing lions hunt outside their tent — and how that experience reshaped the way they live and run their business.

[12:00] Key takeaway #2: Designing next-level customer experiences
[16:00] Key takeaway #3: People + processes = freedom
