    Mike Coyle has been through it. From roofing homes in Chestnut Hill, to partnering with a likeminded business owner, and to running his own appraisal firm: The Coyle Group. While he understands that it takes deals to build a business, he also believes in developing relationships with good people, listening to the stories they tell, and having a passion for what you do. Sean & Tim dive into a boots-on-the-ground discussion with Mike about getting started in business and what AI has in store for the appraisal industry. Dig in, folks!

  • How to Fix Your Insurance Retention ... and Grow | Episode 93
    Oct 7 2025

    Send us a text

    Sometimes in business, no matter what field you're in, sales is treated purely as a numbers game. For example, someone may say there are 3 rules in sales: sell, sell, sell. But as much as that's true, and needing to sell is what keeps the lights on, retention is equally (if not more) important than selling. Don't just find another deal, take care of the people you already have. Sean & Tim use an insurance example to break down their own successes and failures in business. Tune in for the jokes, stay for the advice and tips!

    Our goal with Bricks & Risk is that you walk away with 1 or 2 valuable nuggets that can help build your own business. Our audience grows through word of mouth, so if you would please take a moment of your time and give us a review on the platform you’re on, that would be fantastic!
