Appointments
Marketing plan and calendar
Even continuing education tracking
He stressed the importance of having and using a system or tool like this to aid in managing and growing your business.
Presenter: Robert Fujimura

Robert asked the group: What is insurance? He passed around pens to everyone in the group ahead of the meeting and then called on each group to stand and repeat after him:
Blue pen (a handful of people): I hate insurance and it’s too expensive.
Other kind of blue pen (repping 100 houses each and the majority of people): I have insurance and it’s a great deal!
Red pen (a few people): My roof was torn off in a wind storm and the insurance company paid $25K to restore it.
Red metal pen (one person): My house burned down and the ins co rebuilt it for me.
This is what insurance is: most folks have no issues, a few have moderate issues and even fewer have a major issue.
Insurance is a promise: You need to have a good product, a good premium, and “pick up the phone” - excellent service.
