In Episode 12 of Remotely Speaking, we sit down with Dan Presley from Trophy Club Consulting, an organization built on helping insurance agents and their teams reach new heights — not just dreaming about Chairman’s Circle, Exotic Travel, or MDRT, but making them routine.

We cover his systems for recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent, what makes for exceptional customer service and marketing, and why practicing your processes live is the bridge between where you are now and where you want to be.
