In this episode, Luke Berry is back after closing out 2026 with nearly $1.2 million in new revenue, topping the Max Revenue leaderboard. Trey digs into how he did it, from ditching big events in favor of duck hunts and fishing trips to building real friendships with prospects years before a deal ever shows up. Luke also breaks down how coaching up his team, protecting his calendar, and finally learning to rest made room for his biggest year yet. Plus, what he’s seeing in a brutal EB renewal season, what’s coming in 2027, and the advice he gave a 24-year-old producer just starting out.Resources & Links:💼 Find Your Next Agency:https://www.palladiumpoint.com/max📈 Free Trial of Insurance Xdate:https://www.insurancexdate.com/maxrevenue🔗 Work with Element22:Email submissions to: maxrevenue@element22ins.comOr call Brian at 843-296-3376📬Sign up for The Max Revenue Letter:https://maxrevenuegroup.com/subscribe📘 Access Part 1 of Micah's Producer Playbook:https://www.maxrevenuegroup.com/products/producer-playbook-p1📕 Access Part 2 of Micah's Producer Playbook:https://www.maxrevenuegroup.com/products/producer-playbook-p2👕 Snag your Max Revenue merch:https://max-revenue-store.printful.me/
In this episode, Micah admits his lackluster past with referrals. That’s what makes this year so surprising. One cold call back in 2020 has turned into a chain of half-a-dozen referral opportunities in the last 30 days, including a $12K deal closed in under a week, a $13K account where he cut the client’s premium in half, a $50K deal in the works for next year, and an intro to a plumbing company paying $300K to $400K a year.From the mailbag:1. How do you give non-generic presentations?2. What do you do when prospects don’t send you over all the info you need?3. Did Micah’s hired dialers and appointment setters ever work out?
In this episode, Brandon breaks down why Chubb’s Evan Greenberg and other carrier execs are sounding the alarm on naive capacity flooding the market, and what producers should look for before putting that paper on their book. He also weighs in on the Chubb vs. Marsh fight over AI exclusions and how he’s protecting himself on renewals. Then he shares how he built the London and Bermuda underwriter relationships behind his program business, and how any producer can start building their own.Resources & Links:💼 Find Your Next Agency:https://www.palladiumpoint.com/max📈 Free Trial of Insurance Xdate:https://www.insurancexdate.com/maxrevenue🔗 Work with Element22:Email submissions to: maxrevenue@element22ins.comOr call Brian at 843-296-3376📬Sign up for The Max Revenue Letter:https://maxrevenuegroup.com/subscribe

In this episode, Micah gives a behind the scenes look at his 2026. Every meeting set, every win, every loss, and where his $354K in new revenue actually came from. Micah breaks down revenue from cold calling vs. drop-ins vs. referrals, how his BORs compared to his quoted deals, and how a single book drop turned into a $100K account. Micah also gets honest about the long stretches with zero wins, and why complacency (not other brokers) is your real competition.Resources & Links:💼 Find Your Next Agency:https://www.palladiumpoint.com/max📈 Free Trial of Insurance Xdate:https://www.insurancexdate.com/maxrevenue🔗 Work with Element22:Email submissions to: maxrevenue@element22ins.comOr call Brian at 843-296-3376📬Sign up for The Max Revenue Letter:https://maxrevenuegroup.com/subscribe📘 Access Part 1 of Micah's Producer Playbook:https://www.maxrevenuegroup.com/products/producer-playbook-p1📕 Access Part 2 of Micah's Producer Playbook:https://www.maxrevenuegroup.com/products/producer-playbook-p2👕 Snag your Max Revenue merch:https://max-revenue-store.printful.me/
