We discussed ideas. The most important thing to me, was I wanted whatever I sold to be effective. Radio is evolving into streaming, etc. it evolves and grows. But the people are the same. The best do what I did, and the worst are slimy salespeople looking to make their quota. I’ve only seen a few of your videos but I subscribed. Your message is extremely clear and strong. Thank you!

    I agree wholeheartedly. I was working w2 for an insurance agency that was paying me 10% of his profit on something that I performed better than any employee that he has had in 20 years of doing business. When I asked for a higher percentage because I know my worth and the value that I provide not only to him but to his clients as well he said no. I quit my job with him and now own my own agency to get 100% of the profit. I'm outperforming his entire business just by myself. Know your worth/value and do what you do best in the environment that best suits you. Don't accept anything less than what you are worth.
