Title Insurance - Would LOVE help from the community
I’ve been learning the ins and outs of title for about 5 years. I work for someone who does the largest deals imaginable, so I’ve gotten great experience at a high level. 

Now, trying to grow my own book of business, I’m finding it tough with how the world has turned. Less networking events because of Covid and in turn harder to make connections. My company is one of the top agencies in the country, but connections seem to matter more than our high level of service. 

Anyone in the business open to chatting?

Fixed prices for identical work combined with strong lobbying, but I digress.\n\nYou need a niche that makes you better than everyone else out there. Then you need everyone to know that you do XYZ specialty better than everyone else (you're charging the same fees, so you only compete on expertise or customer service). \n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nYou may also consider partnerships with people in the decision making process, I know brokers or lawyers or business advisors who do this.", "replies": [{"id": "hsnly3b", "text": "Exactly, pricing is set so nothing I can do there.
