## Resource

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Jordan Garcia to talk about his work in property and casualty insurance and the lessons he has learned in sales. Jordan shares how he moved from car sales into insurance after meeting an agent who inspired him to pursue the industry. We discuss the importance of helping people find the right coverage instead of simply choosing the cheapest option, and how many people focus on convenience without thinking about long term financial protection. Jordan talks about an early mistake of giving everyone the same sales presentation and how feedback helped him learn to meet people where they are. We also cover common misconceptions about insurance, the value of networking through organizations like the Huntington Chamber of Commerce, and why sales professionals need to get comfortable being wrong and learning from mistakes. Jordan is also working to expand his Spanish insurance vocabulary so he can better serve more clients. Throughout our conversation, he emphasizes treating people the way they want to be treated and building relationships based on understanding and trust.
