About this listen

Real talk - we ran our agencies blind for YEARS. No idea what our contact rates were, our quote-rates, our close rates. We were just grinding, blaming the leads when things didn't work. Sound familiar? Here's what changed everything for us: we started tracking the right metrics: leading metrics. Simple, but game-changing. Once we could see our funnel, we 5x'd our production without working more hours. Now we help hundreds of agents do the same - track the right KPIs, optimize what's broken, and finally take control. If we can do it, so can you. This is The Insurance Dudes©.The Insurance Dudes: Craig Pretzinger and Jason Feltman Economics Marketing Marketing & Sales

  • The Real Business Of Insurance With Jason Levine
    Jan 9 2026

    In this episode, we’re joined by Jason Levine for a candid conversation about building, growing, and sustaining an insurance agency in an ever-changing market. Jason shares how his path into insurance wasn’t planned, from early ambitions in aviation to stepping into the family business and discovering the strategic depth of the industry. With experience in enterprise-level agency planning, human resources, and VIP account management, he brings a risk-aware mindset shaped by years of evaluating financial exposure and maximizing outcomes for clients and businesses alike.

    Jason dives into the realities of agency growth, including the shift from captive to independent, the importance of understanding underwriting and carrier operations, and why serving existing clients well often drives stronger, more sustainable growth than constantly chasing new leads. He also speaks openly about hiring challenges, market volatility, and the importance of staying adaptable, building the right team, and leading with clarity in uncertain times. This episode offers practical insight, real talk, and perspective for anyone navigating leadership and growth in today’s insurance landscape.
