Key Quotes:

“What I do is work with insurance agents to actually help them become more successful. It's a lot more fun, it's a lot more exciting than having to actually put together apps and so forth. Personally, I'd love to be able to see the producers actually get that win, to be able to see that smile that they heard somebody say ‘yes’.” -Charles Specht

“I love to hear the word ‘yes’, because I know that when I hear the word ‘yes’, that means they have said no to the incumbent and that they have chosen to actually begin doing business with me. And so, I love prospecting. I love being able to meet with people. I love being able to talk to people. And, so, you know what? I was just a prospecting machine.” -Charles Specht

“I focus on working with insurance agents to help them get more broker record letters. You wonder why? Because, that's what my client, the contractor, wants. They want to be able to pick one agent. I don't focus on the broker of record letter just because I think it's an awesome, interesting way with the prospect, no. I focus on the broker record letter because it's what the prospect wants.” -Charles Specht
