@Ryan_Hughes_Ins This seems to be a lot less Venn diagram and a lot more random circles drawn at happy hour.

Carriers want more on the backs if agents
Agents want control with zero oversight
AMSs want...to sell integrations back to both

If these intersect, it's in Narnia.

@Ryan_Hughes_Ins I was just talking to someone about this.

@Ryan_Hughes_Ins @RealJeffWhite What @bradleyflowers said.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@Ryan_Hughes_Ins @RealJeffWhite I find that hard to believe, there are several agencies using Hubspot with Hawksoft on the backend supporting policy data sync.

@davidwatson249 @nicholosberry Only if you’re ugly

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@cjhuts @nicholosberry Same! This was the same question I asked in a DM.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@bradleyflowers Fixed it

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

The car buying process is antiquated.

Where is the pricing transparency and open showrooms for couples to see/touch/feel without commission breath.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

Remember that time GAIL from @lula_____ auto dialed called all your entire customer list without permission?

Yeah… me too 👀

@bradleyflowers This is real, and a huge driver for me in this industry.

Not being with my daughter more after she was born has created a tremendous level of guilt and drive in my every day.

And it translates to our PTO policy.

@bradleyflowers We just did a baby purchase, and I feel this.

Deeply.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@bradleyflowers Bought an agency.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@nicholosberry It’s not unnoticed…

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

We did a thing today…

Also, we left that old aggregator behind.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@iPROTECTinsured Still better than the “I almost joined, but…” guy.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@nicholosberry …yet.

[Patrick McBride @decide_mcbride]

@cjhuts @bradleyflowers I’m not holding my breath

@RooskieMac Realize that sometimes people get busy, distracted, or upset at something completely unrelated.

Or in my case the ADHD removes all memory of the message .001 seconds after closing the app.
