I love our industry. I dont think theres anything like it anywhere else. Were able to maintain a reasonable work-life balance; we can make a great income; every day we get to meet and work with terrific new people.
For those of you on the benefits side of the business, unintended consequences may bring to mind the endless list resulting from a 15,000-page piece of legislation that (paraphrasing) couldnt be understood until it was passed.
What would happen if tomorrow the carriers no longer paid commissions, and you had to go to every one of your clients and negotiate your compensation, starting from zero?
Were all painfully aware of the crisis in our industry, but the source of it isn't what's been getting all the blame.
