Episode 269 - How To Build Your Business Without YOU Always Being There

🔥 Stop chasing leads during AEP. Start each day with a calendar full of qualified appointments and prospects who are ready to move forward. https://leadheroes.com/ What happens when your insurance business can actually grow without you being in the office every day? Glenn shares the hard lesson he learned as a solo producer—and how technology, a CRM, virtual assistants, and better systems can turn an owner-dependent agency into a business that keeps operating when you step away. This conversation breaks down how to identify everything you're doing, delegate the right tasks, build repeatable processes, create a marketing pipeline that doesn't depend entirely on you, and use staffing to remove yourself from the day-to-day grind. Glenn also explains what happened when he spent more than two weeks away from the business—and why that experience changed how he thinks about agency growth. If you're a Medicare agent, insurance entrepreneur, or agency owner who wants more freedom, less stress, and a business that can operate without you , this one is worth watching. The bigger question: Are you building a business—or just creating yourself another job? 📘 Order Now: The Seven Figure Insurance Agency: The Blueprint of How The Best Agencies Dominate: https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Figure-Insurance-Agency-Blueprint-ebook/dp/B0FNB9L189/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.LOoZReEIdh6ZN5nPMG6RwC9YCXxQe1uuJS5ikcw0oQIsjw8pbUchHLzRyflsiIsqb1BsJhZ3Z838LZjcY6Pbs96rQZcnYDZwq2lrhJuKOv2mIJl-bfsIKZGQJKRYiDGOynrjvarXcJ5Li_iZ6U8QfK2irkRenQDL6RpaOsbLgGQ.uWCXBVViQjBe9kgbmbqkEiyUubl8IRZYI65-ZAsmcrM&dib_tag=se&qid=1757697567&refinements=p_27%3AChristian+Brindle&s=books&sr=1-3 Learn more about getting your own VA with Hire Heroes here: https://app.hireheroes.com/signup?fpr=christian43 Join our free private Facebook group for insurance agents: https://www.facebook.com/groups/551409828919739/ Get access now to 7 Figure Medicare University: Lifetime access:https://sevenfigureu.com/ Welcome to the Christian Brindle channel brought to you by Christian Brindle & Christian Brindle Insurance Services.

Need more qualified Medicare appointments heading into AEP? Lead Heroes is offering limited-time savings on pre-scheduled appointments for agents looking to fill their calendars. 👉 Check out Lead Heroes: https://leadheroes.com/ The insurance industry is changing—and Christian Brindle believes the biggest threat isn’t CMS, regulation, carriers, or AI. It’s the lack of fresh, talented, and capable agents entering the space.

Episode 265 - Since When Did Medicare Agents Get So Soft?

With AEP approaching, the noise around non-commissionable plans, plan terminations, carrier exits, and Medicare Advantage commissions is getting louder. But is the Medicare business actually collapsing—or are we watching a correction that could create a major opportunity for agents who stay in the game? In this solo episode of the Seven Figures Or Bust Podcast , Christian breaks down the public data, carrier strategy, plan reductions, record Medicare Advantage terminations, commission trends, and why he believes the current environment is creating less competition and more opportunity for serious agents. He also explains why some agents are reacting emotionally, why non-commissionable plans may not be the long-term future, and what agents can do if their market has been hit particularly hard. The bigger question isn't whether the Medicare market is changing. It's whether you're going to panic—or position yourself to win while everyone else is running for the exits. 📘 Order Now: The Seven Figure Insurance Agency: The Blueprint of How The Best Agencies Dominate: https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Figure-Insurance-Agency-Blueprint-ebook/dp/B0FNB9L189/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.LOoZReEIdh6ZN5nPMG6RwC9YCXxQe1uuJS5ikcw0oQIsjw8pbUchHLzRyflsiIsqb1BsJhZ3Z838LZjcY6Pbs96rQZcnYDZwq2lrhJuKOv2mIJl-bfsIKZGQJKRYiDGOynrjvarXcJ5Li_iZ6U8QfK2irkRenQDL6RpaOsbLgGQ.uWCXBVViQjBe9kgbmbqkEiyUubl8IRZYI65-ZAsmcrM&dib_tag=se&qid=1757697567&refinements=p_27%3AChristian+Brindle&s=books&sr=1-3 Learn more about getting your own VA with Hire Heroes here: https://app.hireheroes.com/signup?fpr=christian43 Join our free private Facebook group for insurance agents: https://www.facebook.com/groups/551409828919739/ Get access now to 7 Figure Medicare University: Lifetime access:https://sevenfigureu.com/ Welcome to the Christian Brindle channel brought to you by Christian Brindle & Christian Brindle Insurance Services.
