He opens up about the early churn and burn days of writing any business possible before niching down after buying out his partner, sparked by a visit from a Pure Insurance rep. Listeners will hear practical strategies for marketing to affluent clients through targeted direct mail, understanding their mindset around risk management rather than price, and building deep relationships that win business. Ben also discusses the story behind his book Fortified, his ambitious five year plan to lead nationally while quadrupling premium, and why he values independence over selling the agency.
