(36:43) Key Quotes: “It is wrong to try and sell on price or product when you could be selling by solving a problem” - Charles Specht “I would love to change the insurance industry in the future, I would personally love to have all policies be written at a 0% commission and insurance agents establish a set rule for the service fee, a fee for the services that they provide.” - Charles Specht “I believe that if we were really honest with ourselves, we would probably come to the conclusion that it is not in the insured's best interest to work with me solely on their insurance renewal, that they would probably be better off if they worked with different agents and agencies, got quotes from them, from different carriers based upon their relationship with those carriers and how much premium they have with them, their relationship with the underwriters, what services they provide, and so forth.” - Charles Specht Resources Mentioned: Reach out to Charles Specht, CIC, CDA Permission Network Insurance Agency, Inc.
