It's back, y'all. Have you signed up?

The How to Write Series, brought to you by the Insurance Journal, kicks off this month with live, interactive presentations to help you strengthen the weaker areas of your business and write more clients.

The goal of the How to Write Series is to give independent agents and brokers the tools they need to run a profitable business—IJ is even allowing indie agents and brokers to attend the events for free. Captive agents shouldn't shy away from the IJ series, however—there's enough interesting material here to benefit any agent.

Best of all, agents can "attend" from anywhere. The presentations are done live and online—allowing you to ask questions and participate in discussions in real-time.

Just think, you can go to five conferences over the next six months—all while eating trail mix at your desk. I like it.

Check out the schedule and register here; I'd like to hear out it goes, so be sure to post your thoughts via comments for everyone to see.
