Tweetable Quotes:

  • “There are so many different things that you can help with at the time of the audit. I don’t think that marketing automation drip for the “bee’s knees” and “end all be all” but it is certainly their support for the ground troops.” – Josh Gurley
  • “You’re going through a minefield and if you step on a mine which is a claim, do you want the insurance company to show up with a pen and a check, or do you want them to show up with a forensic accountant? That’s really the crux of the issue when it comes to property insurance.” – Josh Gurley
  • “I think with property you can really just drive that wedge by saying, what would you expect to happen versus what is actually going to happen.” – Josh Gurley
