The insurance industry is full of brokers who talk about innovation but still push the same tired, carrier-first products. My guest this week, Wes Spencer, doesn't just talk—he builds. After starting his career at Federated Insurance, he knew there had to be a better way than the restrictive models offered by traditional agencies.That mission became deeply personal after a nurse pulled him aside in a hospital and told him, "I wouldn't have that procedure done here" for his own daughter. Wes realized that if he, an industry insider, struggled to navigate the system, what chance did anyone else have? Instead of looking for a solution, he and his team at Sympl Benefits built one from the ground up. This episode is the story of how a broken system and a father's fight led to a new blueprint for benefits.▶▶ Sign Up For Our Social Media Sales Seminar:https://www.completegameu.com/registration-SMSSKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Leaving the Traditional Agency Model Behind, with Wes Spencer(00:22:31) Making Sure Incentives Are Aligned(00:25:59) How Can We Get Members To Navigate Healthcare Effectively?(00:31:49) Value of Healthcare Middlemen in Industry(00:39:14) Wes's Personal Experience With HealthcareCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

If your primary prospecting strategy is to make as many cold calls as possible, you're building your business on a foundation that's cracking. The belief that more dials equal more dollars is pretty outdated in 2025, and that keeps producers stuck in a frustrating, dead-end grind.I'm not just here to tell you what's broken; I'm giving you the blueprint to fix it. In this episode, I break down my "Attention Blueprint"—the step-by-step system for defining your personal brand, locking in on your ideal clients, and using modern channels to have prospects coming directly to you. Your excuses for not building a real brand are officially over. This is your chance to build a lead-generating machine while everyone else is still getting hung up on.▶▶ Sign Up For Our Social Media Sales Seminar:https://www.completegameu.com/registration-SMSSKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) How To Grow Your Sales Without Cold Calling(00:08:03) Standing Out On Social Media(00:13:55) The Attention BlueprintCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

If you think you need a specific resume or 20 years of experience to succeed in this industry, you are flat-out wrong. The belief that there's only one path to the top is an excuse that can sometimes producers stuck.On this episode, I'm joined by Ragan Edwards, and her story is the blueprint for anyone who feels like an outsider. After 10 years as a stay-at-home mom, she jumped into commercial insurance with no prior industry experience, and she's become a top producer. We break down how she used her skills she learned as a mom to create a competitive advantage, how she navigates a male-dominated industry by refusing to be anyone but herself, and how a deeply personal "why" fuels her resilience. If you've ever felt like an imposter or that your background is a disadvantage, this is your chance to see how a real producer is building a business on her own terms while others just stick to the old playbook.▶▶ Sign Up For Our Social Media Sales Seminar:https://www.completegameu.com/registration-SMSSKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Ragan Edwards: From Stay-at-Home Mom to Commercial Insurance Powerhouse(00:03:10) What Ragan learned from being a mom(00:07:42) Navigating a career restart(00:16:09) Being a woman in healthcare(00:23:47) Why finding a niche was so key for Ragan(00:27:01) Overcoming imposter syndromeCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY
