What lines are you looking to do?

How will you get appointed if you do not use a GA or a MGA? In seeing that you are new I will let you slide.

You will have to contract with a MGA or GA of some sort. There is only a handful of companies that will allow you to contract with them directly. In knowing Todd; he will be able to help you; providing that you want his help.

I am looking at Life and Health and P&C. I would like to talk with some GA's to see what they have to offer , but I am not sure of the best place to find them and which ones are good, being new I don't want to be mislead just straight answers.

You can give me a call and I'll be happy to talk with you. I do shoot straight answers even if you don't like what you hear. I look forward to hearing from you and the questions you may have.
