In the role of an Insurance Account Manager/CSR, how should responsibilities be clearly divided between the producer and the CSR? Traditionally, it’s understood that the producer is responsible for generating new business and gathering all necessary client information, while the CSR handles data entry, servicing, and being the secondary contact for endorsements, policy changes, and renewals.However, wht happens when a producer likes to stay heavily involved in the CSR duties or does it themselve

What happens? The producer fails miserably and ends up being a CSR.

Why would a producer do anything beyond the ABCs (always be closing)? Only a control freak producer that doesn't trust their service team would want to service their own accounts 🤷🏼‍♀️ The goal is to build a book and sell it so you can retire - how can you do that as a keyboard warrior?

Not to mention the skill sets are vastly different for each role. Let the person that's good at a thing do the thing.

Your producer needs to understand time=money. Their losing money and if that doesn’t motivate they should be a car not producer

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
