Has anyone ever worked with a producer or agent who just didn't give a shit about rejection and was a machine at calling? Someone who did't have the best scripts, objection handlers etc. but just kept going?

If so, how well did they do?

How many of you are both the builder and the domain expert?

Spoiler: I'm not looking to buy, just wondering because I see a lot of "I built this CRM and it does xyz" but I don't see "I'm a realtor and built this crm for myself and other realtors".

Of course, a good product is a good product and you don't have to be both domain expert and builder.

Again, just curious if anyone cares to share.

PSA from a man in his early 50's who's dated a lot, had a lot of sex, been married, and been divorced. Then dated a lot again.

Your youth will soon be a thing of the past. Quit waiting for perfection. Get out of your own head. Put your phone down. Go out and meet people, have fun, and enjoy yourself. The internet and social media is killing your best years.

This isn't a dress rehearsal. It's your life.

As a man in his early 50's who's had a lot of sex and a lot of relationships and is now at a place where I don't care to date anymore, here's a PSA.

Men: Don't sweat it. You'll arrive at a place where you don't care anymore. All that angst will end.

Women: Don't sweat it. All the unwanted attention will go away once you cross menopause.

Keep that in mind when you're so in your head and can't figure out whether you want to come or go in dating, relationships, etc. It's not permanent and you'll soon be as undesireable as your grandparent and your sex appeal will be a thing of the past.

Also, your example of the execption that proves the rule is just that, an exception.

I am seeing Claude in Excel for quote comparisons and spreadsheet work and chatbots trying yo set appointments with leads. Also with research and policy review and analysis. Call summaries. Sales and CSR coaching (for whatever AI coaching is worth).

AI seems fully capable on any one task but has a strong tendency to do something that really is a head scratcher as well. So, human in the loop definitely needed.

Carriers seem to be rolling out chatbots for research and information. However, nobody that I am aware of has done much of anything in terms of moving towards full automation.

Carriers seem to still prefer agents quote through their portal rather than a fully integrated api of even mcp server.

I could guess why carriers prefer more friction than standardizing data formats and offering g APIs instead of portals but that’s all it would be. Guesses.

How is AI showing up in your brokerage or agency?
