Key Quotes:

  • “When we run around talking about how little time we have, we have to find more creative ways to get things to work, not just reject them, because they might be hard, difficult, or honestly, we haven't researched to understand it.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
  • “What I want you to do right now is think in your head, that client that's just going to give you the biggest, hard time. And I say this because it doesn't matter how hard of a time they give you this is a great person to practice on. Because even if they say no, the next person that's going to come in is going to be a breeze.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
  • “Documentation is not optional. It's done in there or it didn't happen. And you're hurting everybody. It is like the most selfish thing that you can do as an insurance agent is to not document your files.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
