    What’s in this episode:
    If you want consistent life insurance production, this episode shows you how to build it on purpose.

    This highlight breaks down how one producer submitted 52 life insurance applications in 5 months—not by grinding harder, but by installing time blocks, role play, and intentional daily activity. This is the same system behind the 30 in 5 Challenge, where agencies write more life in one week than most do all year.

    [00:00] Why consistent activity always beats motivation
    [01:00] 52 life apps in 5 months — breaking down the math
    [02:30] Momentum matters: small wins that restart production
    [03:15] Time blocking explained (and why most agents avoid it)
    [05:30] How time blocks eliminate procrastination
    [06:45] Role play: the confidence multiplier agents resist
    [08:15] How feedback sharpens conversations and closes more apps
    [10:00] The real reason agents stay inconsistent
    [11:30] When outbound life calls actually get done
    [13:00] Who to call: homeowners, renters, and 50–65 markets
    [15:00] What to say so you’re not “pitching” life insurance
    [17:00] Turning service and P&C conversations into life apps
    [19:00] Why 30 in 5 works (and why agents repeat it)

    The 30 in 5 Challenge is closing Early Bird access tonight.

    What’s in this episode:
    Most coaching conversations fail because leaders talk too much and ask too little.
    In this episode of The Insurance Buzz, Michael Weaver breaks down the two questions that instantly improve coaching effectiveness — whether you’re reviewing role play, live calls, or weekly performance. These questions force awareness, build confidence, and help producers coach themselves instead of waiting to be corrected.

    If you want better results from your team, this episode shows you where to start.

    [00:00] Why most coaching conversations fail
    [01:15] What real role play should look like
    [02:30] The coaching mistake leaders repeat
    [03:30] Question #1: What did you do well?
    [04:45] Question #2: What could you have done better?
    [05:45] How these questions reveal skill gaps
    [06:30] Coaching that creates self-coaching producers
    [07:15] Why this framework accelerates growth

    What’s in this episode:
    Most agents don’t have a motivation problem.

    [01:00] The hidden reason answer rates are collapsing across agencies
    [03:30] How spam flags quietly destroy your outbound sales process
    [06:00] The difference between contact rate vs. answer rate (and why it matters)
    [08:30] The warning sign your team is already flagged as spam
    [10:00] DIY fixes vs. delegating spam remediation (what leaders should do)
    [12:00] Systems new agents must build early to win long-term
    [14:30] Why going deeper with existing clients outperforms chasing new leads
    [16:30] The compounding power of intentional customer meetings
    [18:30] Why consistent systems—not motivation—drive 2026 growth
