    Don't you hate it when you spend a boatload of your time, money, and effort finding quality candidates -- only to have your newbie quit 2 weeks later? It's frustrating. But you don't need to give up on hiring just because the last new Producer you hired felt like an absolute train wreck.  The truth is you have what it takes to hire Producers that'll make it. You just need the proven playbook to do it right. In the latest episode of Agency Growth Machine Podcast -- I caught up with one of our Bignition agency owner's, Jamie Noe (CEO of Insurance Group of America.) Jamie let me in on his process for finding quality candidates and shared a BIG finding after assessing hundreds of them.
