This podcast will keep you on track with like minded high performing agents while keeping entertained!About Jason and Craig:Both agents themselves, they both have scaled to around $10 million in premium.  After searching for years for a system to create predictability in their agencies, they developed the Telefunnel after their interviews with so many agents and business leaders.  Taking several years, tons of trial and error, and hundreds of thousands of dollars on lead spend, they’ve optimized their agencies and teams to write tons of premium, consistently, and nearly on autopilot!LEARN MORE BY Registering for TUESDAY’s LIVE CALL With The Insurance Dudes!Bio of  Steve Hovland:Welcome to the Hovland agency! My name is Steve and I am the agency owner. I originally hail from Riverside, and have lived in the Chula Vista area since 1987. I attended Riverside Poly High School in my youth and graduated in 1986 from Cal Poly, Pomona. I began working as a Life Insurance Specialist in 1994 and then opened my own agency in 2003. When I'm not at the agency I enjoy surfing, snow skiing, mountain biking and play golf. I am also a big motorsports fan and what some may consider to be a "wannabe Grand Prix Driver."I also love giving back to the community by getting involved. I have been involved in Challenger Baseball and Sports for Exceptional Athletes for over 20 years. I also volunteer for various free medical clinics including CDA Cares (California Dental Assoc.) and California CareForce that offer free dental, medical and vision care for less fortunate. It's a great feeling to help those in need and I enjoy the opportunity to interact with so many different types of people.One of my favorite things about being an Allstate agent is the friendships I have formed over the years. I have laughed and cried with many customers and it brings me so much joy knowing how important our conversations are. My agency specializes in Auto, Home, and Life insurance and we'd really appreciate the chance to see what we can do to help you. We are fluent in English and Spanish to serve you in your preferred language. Please, stop by the agency or give us a call next time you're thinking about insurance. References:Website:https://agents.allstate.com/steven-f-hovland-chula-vista-ca1.html?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=WebsiteLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevehovland/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveHovlandAllstateInsurance/
