Sales Triggers Unplugged

Automatic Thoughts: Turning Everyday Triggers Into Insurance Cross-SalesMatt Dietz of Agency Launch explains how insurance agency owners can find “business everywhere” by training automatic thoughts (triggers) that connect common life events to relevant products and conversations.
