Millionaire Insurance Producer: BOR Confessions of a 12X Commission Mastermind Member - (Daniel Brookman)

(27:55) Key Quotes: “I still think the discovery interview is the most important part of the sales process, because you get invited in for a reason. And the number one thing you got to find out in that discovery process is, why are you there? Why did you get invited in?” - Daniel Brookman “The biggest benefit has actually been mindset. Having those two weekly calls with yourself and the other producers on there, and just keeping those ideas fresh, keeping prospecting, top of mind, it keeps me from kind of straying away, and, you know, kind of losing focus on what's most important as a producer, which is prospecting.” - Daniel Brookman “Now my prospecting is specialized. The messaging is not just industry specialized, but also specialized kind of talking and tailored to this process, and how I'm going to be different than just quoting your insurance.” - Daniel Brookman Resources Mentioned: Daniel Brookman LinkedIn Reach out to Charles Specht 12X Commission Mastermind Permission Network Insurance Agency, Inc.
