Nothing gets done...

I sometimes wonder about people.

So, I've been working on a marketing proposal for our agency. I think it would be good if we could order some plain doorhangers and print our own different doorhangers in english and spanish. And then have Aetna and Anthem print some generic agency flyers.
We should also be starting some telemarketing soon, because I think they've finally figured out that I'm not a producer who just goes out and sells. I need some base. I also think if I'm going to do property and casualty I'm going to pick an industry. I think my boss would like something like auto dealers but I really can't stand them. I'd prefer restaurants and bars because I have some background in those.
I'd also like to cross sell rental insurance.

There are some many areas to our business, but I must say that I enjoy the individual (somtimes), and the under 10 group market. Groups under 50 are great for commission but a pain in service.

I've submitted a group for underwriting review, a small company out of Carson City that I'll have to work damn hard to finish. Also I have another two man auto assemblier but now they seem to have cooled.

I did speak with a client about DI today but I think he was shocked by the rates. He said he'd keep me in mind, I'll keep him mind too because when I called he was on the other line with his doctor. Not a great sign, huh?
