Public Apology to Frank

[sman]

I got to thinking about the recent thread I participated in where I was discussing my issues with Frank's cold calling techniques. I am not happy about how that went and I'd like to make a public apology to Frank. I spoke negatively of Frank in public, so I think it only fair that I apologize publicly as well.

Frank, you are a good man and I should have kept my opinion to myself. The person represented in that thread is not the person I want to be. It's just not who I am. I got a little carried away. I apologize for going down that road. I agree with most everyone's assessment on this forum that you give a lot of yourself to help other agents. And you do it without asking for anything in return. It's only recently that you've started recruiting, and why shouldn't you? Most FMO's have a person assisting the agent who has never been in the field. So who better than someone with your experience?

Moving forward I will do my best to refrain from the tit-for-tat that occurs all too often on this forum. This should be a place for agents to come and share ideas and help one another. Unfortunately, it sometimes turns into a d*ck measuring contest (I realize there are women here as well, but you get the point). Again Frank, I apologize for the negative words I spoke.

No worries.

Thanks Scott, I really appreciate it.

We all get caught up in this sometimes. I definitely don't want to get in a "measuring contest", I'd probably lose.

FWIW, I have known Scott for several years and consider him a good friend as well as competitor. Taking time to "fess" up and take his licks like a man is not surprising.

This forum benefits greatly from the contributions of Frank & Scott.

I would like to take this chance to apologize to "Frank's" left teet for making it the butt of so many of my bad jokes. Or was that his right teet?

Sman and Frank, you make me proud. Comradery and understanding should be displayed among us as we help each other and learn from each other not otherwise. None of us are perfect or all knowledgeable.

I love you all!!!

If any of you are ever near Atlanta, I will buy you a beer or something or allow you to take me out to eat...

Dang Bob, I'm no competition to you. While we both write individual and small group health insurance, you do a ton more than me. I generally stick to my neck of the woods for those types of insurance. You are all over the state. I only go all over the state for Med Supps. I'm willing to bet you have more health insurance clients down my way than I have up your way.

I appreciate the kind words and consider you a good friend as well as a source of knowledge to draw upon from time to time.

I appreciate it rocker. And I guess I should apologize for calling you Richard Cranium. It is one of my favorites though. I really should reserve that one for "special" people.

Man, we are having one big love fest aren't we? Now let's go solve all the worlds problems. I know a good place to start....Congress!

I expect nothing less from you Rick. I've called you a few names as well and didn't post them. The jury is still out on whether I'm sorry or not.
