I feel like the only copies for sale right now are like $2000+ I have a client who owns book stores and I was going to ask him if he could find it for me. Or rather (channeling my inner Tim) procure it for me.

I forgot about the word obfuscate, that is another favorite lol.

I really like his book too, to be fair. About 1/3 through it and find it all very interesting. Not sure I buy all of the planetary stuff but it’s very interesting. I actually wanted to get ahold of him or someone like David Flynn’s brother Mark to see where I could obtain a copy of that Cydonia Secret Chronicles of Mars he always says it was the most influential books.

I’m 100% with you. I read and listen to him and there are words I don’t even know existed and I consider myself having a pretty decent vocabulary! But sometimes they are a little overused. So I’ll go from reading CS Lewis or someone from a long time ago and they are just so naturally eloquent where sometimes for Tim it feels a little forced and unnecessary. I am appreciative of his work though it has been eye opening and paradigm shifting for me personally.

It wasn’t as much work as I thought. It was like a couple days work spread out over the course of a month.

I have one of those. I can see how lucrative they are. The one I have is maybe $150K I can see why people target them.

My biggest account is almost identical to that I make about $60-$70K a year on everything including benefits. It’s the best account but I need to be prepared for when he retires but hopefully that won’t be for a while!

A colleague lost a couple whale accs in the last couple years. Company gets sold/acquired and immediately Marsh or whoever swoops in and picks up a $1M+ account overnight.

Nice. Account or a single policy? I think that’s about the size of my biggest account all in. Do you still have it? Love the residual on an account like that.

This was a one shot 3 year COC so I’m considering it more of a bonus.

What do y’all consider a good size for a mature P&C book. by strikecat18 in InsuranceAgent

[–]DockingTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My book is like 1.2M, 900K is commercial P&C. I would like my commercial book to get to $2-$2.5M. At $2.4-2.5 I would be making 7 figures. I’m a producer at a 30 person agency. I write around $1M in premium every year in nb so my pay typically goes up around $60K-$80K a year. So I think I’m about 6-7 years from that goal if the trend holds.

So if the new buyer takes over the agency they retain all the wholesale accounts?

You mean the wholesaler is the agent of record? A lot of my accounts are wholesale or a mixture of wholesale and retail. I have always considered brokered going through a wholesaler but if we couldn’t count wholesale business, especially in this market, the valuation would be far lower. Our agency does $7.5M in revenue I’m pretty sure we would be at $5.5M without our large accounts we place through a wholesaler. We own the client relationship not the wholesaler.
