Tweetable Quotes:

  • “I think by and large, the insurance companies freaked a little bit. You couldn’t even buy life insurance from some people because they wanted to see what’s going to happen with the pandemic.” – David Carothers
  • “As long as the revenue coming in is more than what I’m spending to send the traffic to the ad page, everybody else is out buying leads or paying for leads. I’m getting paid for my personal lines leads, period.” – David Carothers
  • “If we use our approach and our knowledge as independent agents to give the buyer education on that buyer’s journey, they’re not just going to a website to buy a product that they don’t understand. Helping them make that decision through education, they’re not going to go to a call center to buy that stuff. They’re going to come back.” – David Carothers

Why Most Producers Don’t Fail From Lack of Sales Skill

Let’s set the record straight: most commercial insurance producers don’t fail because they can’t sell. They fail because they don’t plan. They lack process. They don’t follow up consistently—or when they do, it’s weak and generic.

In today’s competitive environment, trust is not built through hard closes. It’s built through consistency. Being present when the incumbent fails. Being available when the buyer is finally ready. Being prepared with insight when everyone else is just pushing a quote.
