The Insurance Dudes: Craig Pretzinger and Jason Feltman

Overview
Episodes

Details

Real talk - we ran our agencies blind for YEARS. No idea what our contact rates were, our quote-rates, our close rates. We were just grinding, blaming the leads when things didn't work. Sound familiar? Here's what changed everything for us: we started tracking the right metrics: leading metrics. Simple, but game-changing. Once we could see our funnel, we 5x'd our production without working more hours. Now we help hundreds of agents do the same - track the right KPIs, optimize what's broken, and finally take control. If we can do it, so can you. This is The Insurance Dudes©.
