#129: Underwriting 101

What this episode covers

As an agent, who essentially writes your paycheck? Underwriters. We can write applications all day long, but if they're not getting approved, our clients are not getting covered and we're not getting paid. This podcast breaks format from what you're used to. It's a deep dive into all things underwriting with Jason Patello, one of the smartest field underwriters I know. Jason has written nearly 1,500 policies over the years and has a fantastic placement rate because of his thorough underwriting skills. You could say he knows a thing or two about underwriting. You'd be hard-pressed to find a medication or condition he doesn't know about. On this podcast, Jason shares his wealth of knowledge to help you understand underwriting at a whole new level. This information will help you get much better at placing policies and getting the "Approval" email we all hope for after submitting an application. If you like this, you may enjoy my book.
