Key Quotes:





“Coming from an agent perspective, I always understood the
value of the agent. I actually think that carriers and anyone
else drastically underestimates the agency relationship with the
customer. I think it's more powerful than people give it credit
for a lot of times.” - Aaron Steffey

“What a lot of newer products are going to do is make it
adaptable, to where you can take yourself out of the whole
process if you want. Or, you can not market the link to anyone
and keep it in-house, and just have it help your staff process
bonds faster. So. it can be whatever you want it to be. I think
that adaptability and flexibility is really what's needed.” -
Aaron Steffey

“I think the fact that we offer distribution and technology
is a really attractive thing for them. Because, we're able to go
out and appoint hundreds of agencies essentially for them.” -
Aaron Steffey
