From Zero to 5,700 Households: How One Agent Built a Relentless Marketing Machine
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
In this episode, Michael Jans sits down with South Florida agency owner Matt Livings, who grew his agency from absolutely nothing to more than 5,700 households—in one of the toughest, most volatile markets in the country.
Matt reveals the simple but powerful systems he’s used for two decades, including:
- His 24,000-postcards-a-month direct mail engine
- The niche strategy that built his affluent book (hint: boats)
- Why he stopped selling policies 15 years ago—and grew faster
- How hurricane claims turned him into a local hero
- The referral playbook that keeps the pipeline full
- Carrier contingency tactics that added an extra 10% to his income
If you want to see how real, organic, sustainable agency growth is built—especially in hard markets—this is the episode.
