A Record Payout Week!

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

Seriously though December is supposed to be slow for us!

With a record week this past week and a record Monday already today, January is shaping up to be an almost surreal month for HometownQuotes…plus I get to go to Affiliate Summit!

This past week, we had 8 affiliates earn record weekly payouts, plus we had 3 first-time payments made in excess of $1,000.

Top Payouts this week were:

$19,203.25
$16,602.50
$14,902.00
$13,107.75
$9,661.40

Congrats to everyone for a GREAT week!

Next Line Update

Monday, December 4th, 2006

I got back late last night from our retreat and am happy to report that HometownQuotes is healthy and rockin’

I learned a lot about our staff and co-workers and truly believe that this company is headed for amazing things, with the help of our affiliate family.

As of right now, we have not made a definitive decision on the addition of the next line of insurance, but I wanted to thank all of our affiliates and friends for adding their input.

We have narrowed it down to four, so I will continue to ask for your input into these three.

Long-Term Care
Group Health
Business
Motorcycle

So far those are the most in-demand among agents and affiliates. We WILL be making a decision by year’s end so your vote does count. Feel free to post here or contact me off-board!
