Should I work as a solo agent or do I join a team? This is the most common question we get from new agents. And the truth is, it's not always an easy answer. Where do you fall on the DISC?

Listen in as we look at the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and help you navigate the murky waters without an agenda or trying to push you into any direction.
