Hello shemeshka, remember me? Call me when you get a chance tomorrow afternoon.

There are many other forums but not very interesting. I'm also not sure if I can list other forums on this site. :roll:

InsuranceJournal forum rocks! :P

I don't think anyone here would have a problem if you sent links to other forums. And if it is a problem, send the links via private message! I'd like to see other forums as well. :)

why is it that you see the same people spending countless hours on forums? Do they not produce business? One in particular, whom I shall not name, has stated that she is new to the business. If you spend all day "chatting" how the hell are you ever going to sell anything.
I enjoy some of the topics, just scanning for info, but not to the extent of joining or reading every single forum out there.
Stategizing is great-execution is greater!

speaking as an underwriter - any time not spent underwriting should be spent chasing more business to underwrite.

I peruse the forum every day when the IJ arrives via e-mail, but other than that 5 minutes, who has time to spend "chatting"? Pick up the phone and chat up someone that will send you business. :idea:

You guys are assuming that all of us on this forum are making their livings off of commission income. Some of us aren't.

I would think my point would be pretty clear... Nevermind.
