Key Quotes:

“Let me just tell you, I do not at all like or agree with insurance carriers that have a problem with a broker of record letter. It exists for your policyholder. That's what it exists for.” - Charles Specht

“I do believe that the broker of record letter again is not only ethical, I also feel it is in the insurance’s best interest to know that it exists, to know that it is something that they can use at any one time. And, I also feel that it is in the insurance agent’s best interest to have the broker of record letter as the trophy of what they're trying to accomplish.” - Charles Specht

“A lot of this process is a process of switching your thinking. You need to rethink your strategy for prospecting new business. That's what we have to do, we have to rethink our strategy for prospecting new business.” - Charles Specht
