The trust is placed with agents to see the best value and know the worth of what they are really buying, and get it for the cheapest price possible for their client in my opinion.

I could be dead wrong, as always.
Nope, you are 110% correct in my opinion....they need to spend money like CFOs would spend money for a large company, or like purchasing managers would spend money for large manufacturers.....the bottomline os that YOU ARE ON THE PAYROLL WORKING FOR SOMEONE AND WHEN YOU ARE SPENDING THEIR MONEY YOU ARE ENTRUSTED TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO BE AS EFFECTIVE AND AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE!!!

How many times has a sale ended and you heard a quote from an agent or a trainer who said, "He was the best indiviual in the sale and I was going to spend whatever I had to get him"?

...I've heard this a few times and I shake my head everytime....
