Bjonz0404Great Content!I enjoy listening to the show!! Content is often very timely and actionable! Michael is very genuine and motivational!! Only concern is the language I hear from Courtney now that she’s a co host. I often listen to a lot of podcasts with my kids in the car and unfortunately this is one I’m scared to listen to with them because I never know when profanity is coming. Multiple F bombs on the latest episode😬😬 😆🙈
-

Bob GameetA New Insurance Agent Must!I love the podcast! Very relevant information from agents of all ages crushing it. My agent also just got our team into the Michael Weaver sales academy, and I am excited to take full advantage and keep pushing myself to the next level over and over. The training is no fluff, highly concentrated, short and to the point. Michael and his team have an enthusiasm that is infectious, and you can’t help but be fired up if you join this program!

jcbowmanGood with potential to be greatI believe that honest feedback is crucial to healthy growth, so here goes nothing. The first few episodes were awesome. It’s always great to hear successful people talk about their keys to success. Many of the concepts promoted on here are things we all know, but just like fundamentals in sports, fundaments in business are similarly important, so it’s great to hit those routinely and keep first things first. However, a few things are holding me back from giving this 5 stars: - Too many episodes are just the same thing over and over again. Time is precious, and I want to be growing and developing, not listening to the same message. - This feels more like a way to generate leads for Weaver Sales Academy than a tool to share knowledge with others. Hey, we’re all in business, so there’s nothing wrong with growing your business through as many channels as you can. However, I think the natural law of reciprocity will do more than dropping the name of your business every few minutes, meaning give freely to others, and they will naturally be inclined to give back. - If I hear “getting buzzed on the buzz” one more time… No hate. Just see room to improve. Much love from CA.

teammemberjulie#1 Insurance PodcastThis podcast is one I always make sure I catch when new episodes post. It’s great to learn from other insurance professionals and it’s added great techniques to my sales style. The WSA community is the best around. If you’re looking for likeminded individuals and want to grow your agency you have to check out what Michael, Courtney and their teams can do for you. Make the investment in yourself and your team. You won’t regret it.

Jesse McArthurAwesome podcast!!!Thanks Michael for starting this podcast. It’s another recourse I now have from you to make my agency even that much better. For any one reading this who hasn’t checked out WSA, schedule a call with Michael. I’ve been using his training platform for over 2 years now, and it continues to bring me more results through a better trained team. If you aren’t making the income you want to selling insurance. You need to invest in WSA, and it will Pat rich dividends.
-
