Burnout in P&C?

[Elliot Becker]

1. Enjoy the larger commission checks
2. Be choosier about whom you do business with/require more.
3. Push back on prospects and have them do more of the legwork
4. Focus on selling into a specific niche that you have that does well in this market. Sell the hell out of it. Wash, Rinse, Repeat...

Those are just four simple ideas...but this horrible market landscape does not have to be horrible for you.

Thanks for the advice. I feel like I do all that and am still struggling. I have a lot of referral business, but some stuff sits on my desk for weeks before I can touch it. It's awkward telling my referral partners and the insureds that I don't have the capacity to help them.

Just had two more account managers quit due to burnout.. they just hired another one on 100% remote. I feel like the remote account managers do 1/4 the amount of work as the ones in the office.

I'm just ranting I guess. I'm very frustrated with this industry. Me and a gal I've worked with for years were about ready to just throw in the towel today.
