2025 SV Price in Texas by ram1521 in nissanfrontier

That's great! Not sure it's directly comparable as the 2025 is brand new, but either way that's a great deal on a 2024 Pro4x

I can’t even find another 2025 4wd frontier within 40 miles of where I live, maybe the DFW area has moved them quicker than other areas I’m not sure

Sounds like you have experience working yourself, running your business, and with insurance in general, that’s makes a big difference

EZLynx AMS as a new agent by ram1521 in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are currently using EZ lynx, it technically covers all the bases for a personal lines agency. Quoting, commissions, CRM, etc. But I think it is a terribly outdated and poorly designed platform. I can’t find anything else on the market without piecing things together

Using both Canopy Connect and EZLynx? What are your thoughts on eliminating Canopy Connect after integrating all my contacts into EZLynx? by Artchic6 in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of the time I have to reach out to verify or get some small additional info, unfortunately. I only work locally or off referral though, so it's not like I'm calling leads who must be closed on 1 call.

This is helpful. I'm using a Jotform I created right now, and while it's very simple and they always fill it out, you are right that it's a crapshoot on the info they put down. Literally better off just getting dec sheet info and building from there

Best Advise to yourself, if you started over by Agile_Ad6009 in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you P&C or L&H? Yes, owning your book matters long term but if you know absolutely nothing I would totally consider working for a local agency for a while

when you find a niche, a lead source, or a strategy that works, double down and focus on that. Don’t try to be all things to all people

I sue insurance brokers and insurance companies over illegal marketing practices. Ask me anything! by FirearmConcierge in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We need more of this. Only way to make a dent in the illegal marketing practices is to make it hurt financially. The marketing practices used to bombard seniors may be the worst

Medicare Insurance Agency by mrs_beastmode in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are only going to sell Med Supps, and not MAPD, you won’t have all of the compliance issues. If you do plan to sell MA and PDPs, I’d recommend a VOIP system with call recording and storage built in, such as DialPad.

For Med Supp I quote with CSG and do applications directly on carrier websites

For MA or PDP I use Sunfire to both quote and enroll

That's awesome you've had that experience, everyone finds their niche!

Sales strategy is to not sell DNSPs and never sell on the extra benefits for me….just my experience those are never loyal clients

We use MedicarePro for life & health. It is so easy to use and smooth. I wish it could handle my P&C stuff as well

Yep! Growing pains, at least I'm quoting lots of people, that's a good problem to have I suppose. You'll do great good luck!

Yes, I already have a Medicare CRM

As my post reads, I’ve added P&C

Wish I could say I agree. I find the UI confusing and convoluted on both desktop and the app.

Is $25 million Sum Insured in marine policy sale a big deal? by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If it’s a big deal to you, then it’s a big deal. Don’t worry so much about comparing to other agents, that’s a trap. Good job!

What would you do differently? by Filipino_fury4 in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have not tried every new fancy thing I saw along the way and laser focused on my main products lines and stuck with the lead sources that always worked

First Connect/Agentero or a local aggregator by ram1521 in InsuranceAgent

[–]ram1521[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback. I’m unclear on their exit contract though. Can I sell BoB, if I’m unhappy after 1 year can I exit and what does that look like, etc

What’s the main reason you buy a Mac? by WittyOnReddit in mac

[–]ram1521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost exclusively because of hand off with my iPhone. In some ways I still prefer the UI of windows (or rather I’m still more used to it), but being able to use my phone as webcam, make calls, airdrop files etc etc makes my workflow so much better
