The Insurance Dudes: Craig Pretzinger & Jason FeltmanThe World Famous Insurance Dudes chat with PJ LewisOne of the youngest licensed insurance agents in Virginia at the age of 18 (1999). Started as a file clerk, and one office location. I assisted increasing our operation to seven locations. My father retired in 2011, and I continued working in the agency. In 2014, I decided to partner with my wife Amy Lewis, and therefore Homestead Insurance Group was formed. We have four locations: Two Winchester locations (One Hispanic Storefront), Ashburn, and Culpeper. My focus is in the commercial brokering insurance field, financial services, and providing operational direction for the agency. Our goals consist of expanding our markets outside of the Shenandoah Valley, through creating a unique insurance experience for our clients.Exceeding Client Expectations Providing Value Based Insurance Products”Our credo sums up how we have built our agency. By providing value through price, quality, service, and education, we have consistently exceeded our client’s expectations every day. This is why we are in the top 10% of Nationwide Insurance Agencies in the country. Our staff members are required to go through training on a regular basis, so we can stay on top of the evolving insurance needs of our clients. This is what makes our agency different than your typical storefront agent, or virtual agent.We combine the storefront “local” agent interaction, with the capabilities of a virtual agency. We recognize that clients want the ease of doing business through the internet, but want access to a knowledgeable agency.“Endorsements and recommendations received from my Connections were not solicited and they did not receive any form of compensation.” LinkedIn: PJ LEWISWEBSITE: Homestead InsuranceSubscribe to The Insurance Dudes:Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart | Listen NotesRegister for the Humble 100 to start with MarketingHead to Agency Vault for Info On How to Sell More and Hire Better>>>>JOIN THE INSURANCE DUDES GROUP TO WIN SWAG!

The Insurance Dudes: Craig Pretzinger & Jason FeltmanThe World Famous Insurance Dudes chat with David Meerman ScottBackgroundScott graduated from Kenyon College in 1983 with a BA in economics. After early jobs as a clerk on several Wall Street bond trading desks, he worked in the online news and information business from 1985 to 2002, holding executive positions in an electronic information division of Knight-Ridder, from 1989 to 1995.Scott moved to the Boston area in 1995 and joined Desktop Data, which became NewsEdge Corporation, ultimately holding the position of vice president of marketing until the business was sold to Thomson Corporation in 2002.At NewsEdge he and his team found that do-it-yourself programs based on creating useful content and publishing it on-line at virtually no cost consistently generated more interest from qualified buyers than expensive profession public relations programs, especially if the content was "ungated" (freely available without even requiring the reader supply personal information like an email address). Thomson Corporation terminated his employment after acquiring NewsEdge, so he started his own business as a marketing strategist.Marketing MayhemScott's ideology "the new rules of marketing & PR" is that marketing and public relations is vastly different on the Web than in mainstream media. He says that the "old rules" of mainstream media (which he asserts do not work on the Web) are about "controlling a message" and the only ways to get the message into the public domain using mainstream media is to buy expensive advertising or beg the media to write about you. He says that the rules of marketing and PR on the Web are completely different. Instead of buying or begging your way in, Scott says anybody can earn attention by "publishing their way in" using the tools of social media such as, blogs, podcasts, online news releases, online video, viral marketing, and online media. He believes that, with few exceptions, marketers gain the best return on their investment in content creation when they choose "ungated" publication.Writing for Forbes, Nick Morgan notes that "David is one of those select few people who saw and understood the social media phenomenon as it began..."Subscribe to The Insurance Dudes:Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart | Listen NotesDavid's Blog: HERE++NEW BOOK++ Fanocracy Available NOW on Amazon: HERE>>>>JOIN THE INSURANCE DUDES GROUP TO WIN SWAG!

Welcome to Insurance Dudes! Episode 011, 012, and 013 bring us one of the most successful life sales agents in our current times, Tyler Jack Harris.Tyler has sold over 8,000 life insurance policies in the last 3.5 years—one on one, face to face. These were not group policies administered through payroll. These were not online transactions. This was 200+ nights per year in a hotel, 16+ hour days. This was not easy, but it was necessary – for me to do something that had never been done before, in order to show our agents and show the world what’s possible. In January of 2017 he posted my first piece of content on social media. In the last 12 months, his weekly social media reach has been as high as 49 million. He's the host of two podcasts, a daily and weekly vlog, all while leading two multi-million-dollar insurance agencies. In this highlight reel, filtered, world we now live in on social media, this is where the story usually ends. It is for that very reason that he began documenting my life on social media. To show you the REAL story of what it takes to be successful- the good, bad, and ugly.We are SUPER grateful that he joined and excited to share our conversation with him.We're PUMPED you're here!Sponsored by Agency Vault!

Chris Greene and Flood Insurance Guru: http://www.floodinsuranceguru.comA deep dive into Flood with the Flood Guru himself, and "Flood Dude," Chris Greene.Welcome to the Insurance Dudes, a channel for Insurance Agency Owners where we will have conversations and guests focused on helping you gain leverage in your agency. What is leverage? It’s a business term defined as the power to get you more time and greater business success through business ownership. Agency Ownership if done correctly absolutely will create the opportunity for you to gain more time and financial freedom. Conversely, without the right people, systems, and processes, agency ownership will become a highly stressful and possibly low-paying job. The spirit of this channel is to get you thinking of different ways to move towards optimization in your business, and, in your life.Chris Greene and Flood Insurance Guru: http://www.floodinsuranceguru.comSponsored by: Agency VaultSupport the show (https://www.dudes4u.com)
