Yeah man, Allstate agents took a huge commission cut, too. Allstate is basically the worst place you could be right now.

Doesnt really matter right now

I am looking at purchasing a book of business with a dozen or so carriers. do you think it is better to get direct appointment to each carrier or go though a cluster. I assume the cons with the cluster is your sharing some profit with them.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Doesnt really matter right now which way you go, everything in PC is a cluster#%*&

I see what you did there.

the cluster is your sharing some profit with them.

You are not sharing some profit with them, they are sharing revenue with you I think as they are further up the upline ladder.

Sharing of revenue is alot different than sharing of profit

Joe Rogan had a great quote in his recent comedy special.

"Before the pandemic, I used to trust the government. Now I'm not sure if we actually went to the moon."

Yeah a little bit but. I know most of my independent agent friends are doing good because they can place anywhere.

Many years ago when I was dating my wife, we were sitting in her grandparent's living room watching the news. They were talking about Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.

Her grand father jumped up and changed the channel saying "That crap ain't real. They filmed it in Hollywood."

He changed the channel to a wrestling match and turned to me and said "Boy, now that's real."

No, no. It was a huge cut. You're trolling us.
