    • Tweetable Quotes:

    • "You need to make your agency able to operate without you. That's counterintuitive to what someone is comfortable with." - Carey Wallace
    • “With concentration, you have to think about it and a lot of people don't look at their book of business through that lens." - Carey Wallace
    • "If they are aware that that's something that's in place, that there's an agreement, it's less likely they'll walk away with your book of business, and you at least have recourse to protect that." - Carey Wallace
