I just remember in my former life that when the insurance companies I represented were still being run by "sales minded" people the insurance industry was completely different that the one it evolved into once those companies were bought out and then run by the "bean counters" As long as the "bean counters" surround themselves with good sales oriented support then things can go well, if not, good luck.
