from The Agent Leader Podcast · host Brent Kelly--The Agent Leader Podcast
What if the biggest thing holding your agency back isn't talent, effort, or opportunity? What if it's alignment?In this episode of The Agent Leader Podcast, Brent Kelly challenges one of the most common assumptions in the insurance industry: that growth problems are solved by hiring more producers, increasing activity, or finding more clients.
