Tweetable Quotes:
- “When you say setting that expectation, the best way to teach is the best way it is understood. Sometimes, the best way to sell is the best way that it’s taken.” – Jason Cass
- “I think that when you’re trying to place people there, sometimes that’s hard. Sometimes it’s really easy but I think that you can look at your own self, right? You can say that if birds flock together, who am I hanging around with? What am I doing? I want that picture that I eventually create to not have a ton of people on it. I noticed that I have specific people in my life for specific reasons.” – Jason Cass
- “I think that we need to be more open and I think one of the things we can do that’s very simple is when we decide we’re going to hire, we’re going to make sure that we’re going to at least interview. We didn’t say we had to hire them, we’re just going to at least interview them.” – Jason Cass

Reinvention is one of the most powerful themes in the insurance industry. Some of the best commercial producers in the country did not grow up wanting to sell insurance. They did not study risk management in college. They did not come from an agency family. They found this industry after they tried something else.

December 31, 2025
The most successful producers in the middle market did not get there because they quoted faster, smiled bigger, or knew how to talk longer.

They learned how to control their time, their pipeline, and their future.
