Thank you so much for the one-on-one time for my brand evaluation. It was such a great cross-section of our industry at Brand Camp. I too go to many meetings, but there was something much different here. Charles, very good post. Thank you so much for the one-on-one time for my brand evaluation.

I do think that Brand Camp was the first of many innovative groups discussing this topic and it is the "future of networking and sales". Those that don't grasp it and use it will be struggly to survive in the near future. Kudos to you and the rest of the Brand Camp Team!!! When is Camp #2??? Charles – right on point!

Exercise sure has a way of clarifying things for me. Sounds like you too. If boring old Sears can do it, why can't insurance companies innovate something like this? http://www.facebook.com/campusready Is this possible? The ones that figure this out in the next 6-12 months will find themselves as the 'King of the Mountain"...and everyone else will come off as a Me Too? Possible?

Insurance Pros. especially on the retail side have always been masters of developing and maintaining compelling relationships in their communities. As our communities move more and more to online venues such as facebook and twitter, we as insurance agents need to be there. It is my view that social media gives retail agents a huge advantage over larger competitors and direct writers. It allows us to reach audiences and connect with people that would otherwise be impoossible. Excellent article.
