Tweetable Quotes:

• “I would hope that every broker agent out there is an advocate, with you as the advocate. It’s really important that you’d be able to throw a rope to your customer and pull them to you.” – Jerry Conrey
• “The most successful people in this business will share their “hows.” They’ll write books on it and they’ll define it for you right down to the penny. I still scratch my head and wonder, why would you give away your competitive advantage? Then I realized that was not the competitive advantage, you are the competitive advantage.” – Jerry Conrey
• “I want you to understand what care looks like. If you can’t convey care, you’re not going to be very successful in my agency because that is the one thing we do is care.” – Jerry Conrey
