Tweetable Quotes:

“You have to understand something fellas. When we sell, it's not based on the policies or on the insurance. There are times that I go in a month after renewal, there are times that I go in a month before renewal. It's really whenever I have the ability to engage.” - David Carothers

“I think sometimes I take it for granted how much experience has taught me. I’m not the smartest dude in the world, I can just recognize things because I've been in so many situations over my time, in the industry.” - David Carothers

“The level of patience that you have to have at 50 grand in revenue is completely different than the level of patience you have to have at five or 10. So I am 100% confident that I will write this account. I'm 100% confident that I will do it on their timeline, and I'm also 100% confident that I will be compliant with their request to do it on their timeline.” - David Carothers
