  • Tweetable Quotes:

    • “Don't listen to fake news that cold calling is dead.” - Micah Salas
    • “From an insurance agency standpoint, or agent producer, I would spend 30 minutes a day to an hour connecting with people, following people, seeing what's going on and posting relevant content. But if you're expecting it to get rich on it, it's not going to happen.” - Micah Salas
    • “I stay pretty tight to what I know I do well, just because I know going into those meetings, I can speak with confidence and then I know we can deliver as well.” - Micah Salas
