[COLOR=Navy]I'll say one thing since it seems I won't be nominated anyway. LOL.
The opinionated diatribes are usually uncalled for and quite juvenile. Including what I've mildly taken part in and I realized why. When someone is "attacked" they attack back.
I have seen much resistance to my methods, methods that have been proven successful and endorsed by the likes of Assurant Health, Humana, Norvax, Unicare, HSA for America, Stephen Matthews Marketing, Benepath, Leadco, Sepulveda Insurance and many, many others.
Can we guess why?[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Navy]The lead brokers want their clients to do better with their leads to retain those customers[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Navy]The insurance companies want business that stays on the books[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Navy]The agencies want more sales and better trained agents[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Navy]Coincidence? probably not.
In just about ten weeks (customized training) one smaller agency has seen a weekly increase of $30k in annual premium. 30K!!
Maybe you can help with the math but $30K a week, multiplied by 52 weeks multiplied by the commission? I believe that's close to $500,000 over the next year!
Would any of you turn down that production? Is it worth the investment to get that production?
So what makes someone assume the practices are poor and therefore have to try to discredit and dismiss others in an insulting manner? Is it pride? Jealousy? Ignorance? Threatened feelings? Inferiority?
In keeping with the thread, how about we vote on it.
I appreciate all of the opinions. I am not sure about the logistics of this, but I will start looking into how best to do this.
In my opinion, calling someone a person of the year does not make everyone else a loser of the year. I am surprised to hear that anyone disagrees with that.

Oh, come on, surely you've heard of the incident in the NorthEast where they quit keeping score in soccer because it was bad for the self-esteem of the "losing" team? There are other examples of attempts at removing inequalities in competition so as not to hurt anyone's feelings. But here's my question:
How are we going to rectify the inequalities in mathematics???
------------------------------------ Nature has established patterns originating in the return of events, but only for the most part. -- Gottfried von Leibniz 1703 Under similar conditions, the occurrence (or non-occurrence) of an event in the future will follow the same pattern as was observed in the past. -- Jacob Bernoulli Ars Conjectandi 1713
When I coached my son's soccer team (age group 4-5) a few parents didn't want anyone scoring the game. The argument was the losing team would feel bad.
Yeah...right. We kept score. Winning team got pizza - losing team got a lap around the field.
If you want to live in some fairy tale land where there's no reward for success and no punishment for failure then leave...go find it.

Back in the day (late 60's) I played Little League and Junior League baseball. We hustled. Practiced FIVE hours in a day in July for the upcoming playoffs (we won). Haven't kept up since.
So, coupla years ago, riding around with my wife on a summer evening, decided to pull into a little league park for some "memories". MAN! What a change! Walking on and off the field; sitting down in the outfield; throwing the glove at the ball as it goes by; this, all DURING A GAME. I had to leave. My how things have changed. I believe it. And Obama has won his primary and everyone says he'll win the election. Guess it makes sense.

This is about the dumbest idea I've ever heard a web-board owner do. So you want to pit agent against agent to try to determine who is the most popular? Or is it who is the most intelligent? Or is it who is the agent that everyone likes least or hates most?
What does this do for us as a community? It brings us together? It makes for a more cohesive group... one that becomes more accepting of divergent points of view?
No, what it does is help further divide us, it helps to solidify that those who post the most are "right" most of the time... what it does is create splits and divisions in the agent community.
This might be "cool" and "fun" as you see it, but what about all those who are not chosen as "the best." What about all of those who believe strongly in what they believe but who are ridiculed and attacked for those beliefs?
No, Sam. What this is is a nice example of let's see who agrees most with Sam, right? Who is going to be the judge and jury? Me? Yeah, right. In your dreams. It will be you Sam... and why you want to engage in an action that has the propensity and possibility of dividing and creating strife in the online community is beyond my comprehension.
I'll tell you right now who will be the finalists:
John P.
Frank S.
Rick B.
SAI
Chumps
STI
This is a bad idea, in my opinion... which I'm sure is worthless in this venue... but which will probably get me banned for at least short time for expressing it.

Hey Al,
I've been hesitating to address an issue with you but I find myself backed into a corner. I apologize for doing this in public, but it must be said.
You seem to have a problem with telling people exactly how you feel. I'm not sure why, but it appears that you like to hold back on your true feelings and wont allow the other board members any insight into exactly what it is that your thinking or what your viewpoint is.
Might I recommend a few changes in the future? Could you please try to be more direct and feel free to express your true feelings to the members of this board?
