Things here at AIA are no different, however, we recently put our money where our mouth is and asked a small group of agents to come to our offices to participate in a \u201cbrainstorming\u201d session.

This meeting led to nearly 6 hours of discussion on a wide range of topics from technology to marketing to legislation. Of course, we discussed the impact the current economic state of affairs has had and the impact it continues to have on agents businesses.
