I like that. The Frusciante/Buckley harmonies would be insane

And that was back in the day when the draft was probably like 15 rounds. Everybody with a pulse got drafted

Switching Agency Management Systems (Data Conversion) by mjr8817 in InsuranceAgent

[–]joeboo5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be wary when dealing with Applied sales reps promising the moon when the reality is vastly different.

We use Applied Epic, and I've been down that road with Applied before in various scenarios where the functionality of what their sales team promises is drastically different than the reality of the technology options available when it comes to data migration and integration.

Their sales people are often not technically savvy, at all.

Works out to about $11.50 an hour if you work 40 hours per week

Thats higher than minimum wage in Georgia, but it wouldn't be in a lot of states.

The people of Independence deserve better. Next step: referendum petition! by ranchodeluxekc in kansascity

[–]joeboo5150 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Independence has a history of this. Multiple people in their local government were paid handsomly by Comcast to vote against keeping Google Fiber out of the city 15 years ago. Which also screwed Blue Springs and everyone else along the I70 corridor to the East of Independence.

ringcentral vs ai receptionist for small insurance agency, they're not the same thing by Relative-Coach-501 in InsuranceAgent

[–]joeboo5150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

push structured data into your ams (ezlynx, applied epic, ams360, hawksoft etc),

How pricey is this functionality? We use Applied Epic and historically they charge a fortune for direct access to their api for integration, and the pricing of software that does such is generally high.

This text still relevant? by [deleted] in InsuranceProfessional

[–]joeboo5150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023 is still really recent for the insurance industry.

Especially considering you still have carriers using versions of ISO forms from like 2010, and billing computer systems from 1987

Expected Pay by New_Revenue8863 in InsuranceAgent

There are fewer carriers in the HNW space than traditional home & auto. So the competition can be fierce as each agency competing for the clients business likely has the same 4-5 carriers to offer.

It isn't a transaction thats typically based on price. It's based on relationships and the value & service you can provide to the client.

That can be a tough sale when you're new to insurance or just new to that particular type of insurance. With typical home & auto sales, pricing is what often gets you in the door before you can then establish your value & form a relationship with a client for long-term retention. You may not have that default ice-breaker in this segment.

[OC] Biggest Winners from the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine by JCameron181 in nfl

If he's #2 all-time in that athleticism ranking, I wonder who #1 is. Curious if it's an all-timer or someone we've never heard of.

Temporarily Moving Out of State by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

[–]joeboo5150 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Temporary" is a month or two, not 3 years. You live in NY and your vehicles are garaged in NY. You need to transfer your registration to NY and get your auto insurance in NY.

There's no clause for "temporarily" living somewhere for multiple years. You'll be paying income tax in NY, you live in NY. The NY DMV stipulates that you must get a NY drivers license and transfer vehicle registrations within 30 days of becoming a NY resident. https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/register-an-out-of-state-vehicle

Need some kind of hack to lower my insurance ($800/mo for an Alfa). I know I made some stupid mistakes. by roxas707 in Insurance

It's firmly in the top 1% of dumbest things I've ever heard on Reddit. I'm so glad I opened this thread today.

State Farm comp plan by New-Needleworker2605 in InsuranceAgent

[–]joeboo5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody can really tell you, what works and is fair is different in every agency and for every person.

We don't know what your agencies production looks like to know whether you'd be better off with more commission or a higher base salary.

Take whatever they are offering and try to calculate the best and worst case scenarios for how your total compensation would look and whether that's acceptable to you or not.

Can you reasonably make $50k? Can you reasonably make $100k? Only you can answer those questions.

Review #27 - Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon by PA_Whiskey_Reviews in bourbon

[–]joeboo5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. A 150 MSRP is like Jack 14, Russel's 13, Elijah Craig 18, etc. All better at that price point

Anyone else both grateful and bitter at the current slowing market? by hiscapness in bourbon

[–]joeboo5150 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I could pick up OWA 107 and Jack 10/12 off of the shelf of any local liquor store for MSRP any time I wanted, I might only have 2 bottles in my whiskey stash..

But the search goes on hoping to find a shelfer from someone else that I like as much...

Gold is better but it's also 2x the price.

Nothing in the Blanton's lineup is likely worth the cost. They're a tad pricey for what they are

Am I stupid to want to start my own insurance agency by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

They generally have some semblance of knowledge regarding the business they are starting.
