Key Quotes:

“If I can help you be more successful in your career, whether you're on the carrier side or the agency side or in loss control, or whatever it is, doesn't matter if you're doing personal lines or employee benefits, property and casualty life insurance, I don't care, I want to be able to help you. ” - Charles Specht

“If you can put together a superior submission and give reason, detailed description and reason to the underwriter, what they've done for certain things, and why credits should be given. You're much more able to justify those credits with the underwriter and likely to get them” - Charles Specht

“If the insured knew how poorly so many agents out there are representing them to the marketplace right now, based upon their renewal submission, let alone the new business submission. I believe those insured's would fire their agent immediately and sign a broker of record letter to anyone else who's willing to put together a good submission.” - Charles Specht
