Hosted by Daryl Henry and Nick Aube, BOR or Bust is real, honest conversation about what actually works in insurance sales—Broker of Record strategy, building a book, winning large accounts, handling rejection, navigating underwriters, and betting on yourself when the stakes are real. Because BOR is not just a way to win new business. It’s a mindset. It means going all in. It means betting on yourself. It means believing you’re worth it. And refusing to accept second place as an acceptable outcome. For us… it’s BOR or Bust, baby.

In Episode 2 of the BOR or Bust Podcast, Daryl Henry and Nick Aube unpack why traditional insurance sales advice often fails — especially when producers avoid talking about premium. Nick shares the story of how years of coverage analysis meetings led to dead-end deals, awkward follow-ups, and prospects saying, “I think we’re in a good spot with our current broker.” The breakthrough came when he realized clients weren’t actually asking for quotes. They were trying to solve a deeper problem: “How do I know if I’m getting the best deal?” This conversation dives into: Why prospects really ask for quotes The hidden psychology behind premium objections How BORs become easier when you solve the right problem Why transparency creates trust faster than relationship-building How producers accidentally make themselves irrelevant Why strategy beats service theater The difference between “saving money” and “taking control” Plus: A daycare insurance horror story Why clients ghost brokers The danger of becoming “Mr. Available” The legendary acai bowl analogy If you’re tired of losing BORs, competing on price, or hearing “we’re happy with our broker,” this episode will change how you think about insurance sales.","meta_description":"Most insurance brokers are accidentally training themselves to finish in second place.
