Well, Agent Blog readers...it's been a slow news day.This afternoon we were talking about starting a "We Love Jeb" group on Facebook, so I figured today's post ought to feature our esteemed friend and colleague. So without further ado, here's a throwback video featuring Chef Foster!
Happy Friday, Agent Blog readers!
We've had some meaty posts this week, ranging from search engine optimization to guerrilla marketing. So for today, I thought I'd post a video from our archives, entitled "The Dos and Don'ts of Selling Insurance."
See you back here on Monday!
Check out this 'vintage' infomercial about the new tool we've developed for our agents.
The Agent Connection: Instant notification, easy organization.
Well, Maribeth and I think it's cool. We made it a little while back.
We've bagged on lousy presentations here on the Agent Blog. It's only fair that we should put our best effort out there and solicit your feedback. Let us know what you think.
Note: this slide show is meant to be narrated, so it may be hard to follow in some areas.
[We usually make a point not to post salesy stuff—this blog is supposed to be about you not us. Don't fear that this slideshow signals a change in direction.]
[Update: Here's one more show for you.]
Time for another killer InsureMe Wrap-Up. Make sure you enter the contest by sending your answers to the three questions in the video to mmahan(at)insureme(dot)com!
In this week's video, Jeb Foster reveals a flaming email he wrote to the creators of Waterworld in 1995. This and more in the Agent Blog Wrap-Up!
In this quickie installment, we recap the week's news and insurance sales tips, and check in with Jeb "McFrenchie" Foster who gives us a quick lesson about the importance of mis-en-place. (And a little comic relief to boot.)
Take a break and enjoy this week's Agent Blog Wrap-Up, complete with bonus insurance sales affirmations!
Finish up your work week in style—check out this week's Agent Blog Wrap-Up for a recap of this week's industry news, sales tips, and the next InsureMe agent contest!
In this week's Agent Blog Wrap-Up, we discuss an insurance company getting into banking, how to deal with jerks, why a business plan isn't always necessary and discover that Rhode Island, does indeed, exist.
In this week's Agent Blog Wrap-Up, Peter D. reports on climate change, Megan tries to spruce up the rest of the insurance news, and we check in with Aurora Borealis, currently on tour.
It's with a bit of tardiness that I present you with this week's Agent Blog Wrap-Up. (Technical difficulties; happens to the best of us!)
Take a look to find out who won this week's contest (for 100 smackeroos), sneak a peak at a vintage insurance sales training video, and catch the new song by Aurora Borealis!
Insurance and alternative hairstyles aren't exactly synonymous. But as we launched or corporate United Way charitable giving campaign this year, InsureMe CEO committed to shaving his head provided we received 100% participation from InsureMe employees.
We kept our end of the bargain. Now watch Tim as he keeps his.
Yep, today's blog post comes in the form of video! A little rough around the edges but hopefully I'll get better at this as time goes on. :)
[UPDATE]: Get your comments posted by Thursday before noon (MST)—we'll draw a winner tomorrow afternoon!
Just quick note about the current contest (announced last Friday on the Agent Blog Wrap-Up):

Happy Monday, y'all. I hope a phenomenal weekend was had by all and that you have, by now, watched the first Agent Blog Wrap-Up featuring Aurora Borealis. The fan mail is already streaming in. I have a feeling Aurora Borealis is going to take off from here.
Once you've watched the video, don't forget to leave a comment on last Wednesday's post. You could $100. So far no one's posted anything, making your chances of winning...well, pretty awesome.
I've spent most of this afternoon reading up on insurance news and various hot topics through my favorite sales and marketing blogs. A couple things piqued my interest but not enough to send me into a 700-word diatribe. So without further ado, here are today's links:
Not Much Employer Backing for HSAs [The Health Care Blog]
Sidecars (relating to reinsurance) [Specialty Insurance Blog]
Minn. Boy Sues Parents Over Injuries Sustained in Accident [Insurance Journal] Make sure to check out David Rossmiller's stellar commentary of this story here.
We're all pretty excited to present you with the first-ever Agent Blog Wrap-Up. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

So This Is The New Year...
NOTE: Please remember to enter your email address when you leave your comment. Your email address will not be published on the blog; we just need a way to contact you if you win the $100!
