re: What do local insurance agents actually do?

This is one industry I hope AI kills. Totally worthless
You’re painting with a broad brush here.
I owned a local insurance agency for 7+ years, starting from scratch in a closet of an office that was big enough for two chairs, a desk, and a printer. Worked nights and weekends at bars and restaurants to make ends meet for 2+ years.
After 3 years hired my first part time employee.
4 years in, Hurricane Sally hit, and we had 707 claims overnight (50% of our policies).
Worked nights and weekends for 2 years to handle all claims issues. Only TWO clients hired attorneys, as the overwhelming majority were satisfied.
Due to the above, my agency doubled in size and I sold it in Jan of 24.
During my time, I worked roughly 60 hrs/wk, and my tasks were:
Managing office
Dealing with claims
Marketing
Renewals-agents don’t focus on this and it’s dumb
Charity/sponsorships
New policies
Now, I know several other agency owners, and they don’t do all the above, and it shows.
Insurance is not a fun industry, and I thought of myself as an advocate for my clients. Walked them through coverages, policy questions, claims, and gave honest advice. The 7+ years aged me 15 yrs, but the business gave me a platform for politics, charity, community involvement, and an opportunity to help literally hundreds of people in a stressful moment in their lives.

I watch morning Joe daily.
Have been for years.
It’s background noise from the kitchen or my laptop every morning.
When they said Bessent was up next, I put my computer away.
Dude goes on there monthly, and calmly debates them. This was the best one yet.

re: Why is it socially acceptable to be “terrible with names”?
Posted by BamaCoaster on 11/8/25 at 10:03 am to philly444
I am awful with names.
I have the memory of a jellyfish.
It’s laughable.
HOWEVER, when I had my insurance agency and had roughly 3k clients, I could remember their addresses, their premiums, what kind of cars they had, etc. it was nothing short of amazing.
Point being, I think when people are incentivized, for whatever reasons (be they selfish, monetary, altruistic, etc), memory steps up.

Not sure how this can be downvoted.
Another question:
Any bets on if Trump lowers the flag?
I’m saying no way in hell, and hopefully he gives a press conference why, which makes the liberal media defend dick Cheney.

Curious about how his lawyers screwed him?
Regardless, as a parent of a 6 yr old, and another on the way, there is zero chance that if what had transpired with him transpired with me, that the Senator, her spouse, and any animals in the residence would still be breathing today.
