And there's still a role for us to serve and taking care of our client's best interest.” - Doug   Top Takeaways: Doug Loyd’s Advice for New Agents:   QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR BROKERAGE:   Do they have a robust teaching/training/coaching program focused on what you need to know to provide value to your clients?
