Don't worry, we will be doing weekly videos over on the InsureMe Agent Blog from now on...and if all goes well, they will be even better than our insurance videos.
But thanks for voicing an opinion. We definitely don't shun criticism (while constructive), so I'd be happy to get your suggestions for future InsureMe videos (which are now on the Agent Blog).
As for the professionalism of our clients, I can only assume you mean the agents on our network. And I assure you that we’ve got some pretty awesome agents and independent brokers buying InsureMe leads. And to be completely frank, I think your interpretation of “professionalism” needs some readjusting.
If by being “professional” you mean being dry and boring with no sense of humor…well, I’m afraid that archaic school of thought is on its way out. Just pick up the latest issue of Fortune 500—they named Google as the number one place to work in the country. And it's because they have fun. As a result, employees are more productive and prospective clients are salivating to work with them.
Showing the more human, less robotic sides of ourselves, I think, is a positive thing, in just about any situation. As our COO Robin can attest to, it’s all about people. It’s all about relationships. And you can’t form those lasting relationships (personal and professional) without being human. Which includes laughing at a dumb video every now and again.

Sounds great! I am glad to hear it.
Big question of the holiday season: Did Megan ever recover from being crushed by that oversized Christmas Tree?
Our care managment department is very curious.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! We had a good time with this.
And Anon, that "bears eat your face guy" is our president and CEO. Just a little bit of trivia for you. :)
