How we can help
We help you install systems in key areas so you are the architect, not the linchpin.
Lead Flow & Marketing
- Your Problem: You are the only one who knows the reliable vendors, good costs, and ROI tracking. If you step back, opportunities stop.
- Our Solution: We implement clear Lead Vetting Playbooks and simple Scorecards so your team can consistently generate quality opportunities without your input.
Sales & Production
- Your Problem: You're the top closer, and all big cases land on your desk. If you're not in the game, revenue drops.
- Our Solution: We build scalable Sales Leadership Structures and Script Frameworks that empower your producers to close complex deals and carry the sales load.
Training & Product Knowledge
- Your Problem: You handle all the complex cases and coaching. You are the bottleneck to developing producers who can truly carry the load.
- Our Solution: We install Systematized Training & Development protocols, moving your expertise into repeatable, self-managed training systems.
Operations & Leadership
- Your Problem: You are the glue—the one who manages carrier relationships, compliance, accounting, and team decisions. If you disappear, the agency stalls.
- Our Solution: We create a defined Organizational Chart and Decision Matrix so your leadership team can handle daily operations, compliance, and issues autonomously.
What actually happens inside the Power Players group?
Power Players is not just another Facebook group. It’s a curated environment where Cody and top agents share what’s working now.
You’ll get access to live sessions, breakdowns of real campaigns, talk tracks, and behind-the-scenes strategy from Cody and his team.
The goal is simple: help you write more business, build a stronger brand, and grow into the leader your agency needs
What do I actually walk away with?
Our aim is that you always know your next 3–5 moves.
You’ll walk away with specific action items on: dialing, appointment setting, closing, recruiting, marketing, building team culture, and tightening up your numbers.
Over time you build a library of notes, trainings, and playbooks you can reuse as you grow your income and your agency.
Is this right for my level and type of business?
Power Players is built for serious insurance entrepreneurs:
- Ambitious producers who want to break into top-1% income
- Agency owners who want to grow their team and brand
- Leaders who want more deal flow, better systems, and bigger opportunities
If you’re just “thinking about” getting into the business, this probably isn’t the best fit yet. If you’re already in and hungry to grow, you’ll feel right at home.
How much is it to join Power Players?
Pricing can change as we add more value to the group, but the idea is simple: it should pay for itself quickly if you implement.
On the next step, you’ll see the current investment and all the details before you join.
If you haven’t made at least the investment amount from Cody’s free content, keep bingeing the free stuff first. When you’re ready for proximity and execution, that’s when Power Players makes sense.
Let me ask you a question...
Have you ever felt like you can’t even take a long weekend without your laptop, your phone, and your agents blowing you up the whole time?
Or that delegating feels risky because you’re the only one who really understands the carriers, the comp plans, the lead vendors, the scripts — most of the “real” knowledge in the agency lives inside your head?
Maybe your team comes to you for every decision:
“Can I discount this?”
“Can we place this here?”
“What do I say to this objection?”
And if you’re honest, you’re starting to resent them for it.
Have you ever worried what would happen to your renewals, new business, or overrides if you got sick or disappeared for a month… because every big sale, every big recruit, every big decision still runs through you?
Or you feel guilty when you’re with your family because you’re not pushing the agency forward — and guilty when you’re working because you’re not present with your family.
If any of that sounds familiar...
You have what we call key-person risk in your agency — which means you’re working in the agency, not on the agency.
It’s the number one reason agency owners can’t scale.
It’s also why they can’t step back.
And it’s why they feel trapped.
After working with hundreds of insurance agency owners — from scratch to seven and eight figures — I’ve noticed one common theme that separates the ones who scale fast from the ones who stay stuck for years:
Most agency owners think they own a business…
When in reality, they own a very stressful, high-paying sales job with a logo.
Key-person risk is when a single person is vital to the agency operating.
If they’re gone, the machine stops.
For some, it shows up when lead flow spikes and everything starts breaking — service, follow-up, cancellations, chargebacks.
For others, it’s when they launch a new office, new product line, or new state… and realize they don’t have the people or systems to support it.
Others only see it when they look at their numbers and realize, “If I stop producing and recruiting, this whole thing flatlines.”
Key-person risk is always painful, and if you’re doubling revenue, opening new locations, or thinking about an eventual exit or succession, it can destroy everything you’ve built.
That’s the moment owners realize they can’t keep being the bottleneck.
Think of your agency like a bridge.
You’ve got carriers, vendors, referral partners, and opportunities on one side…
You’ve got agents, staff, and clients on the other…
But if you are the bridge — the one everyone has to cross — the second you step away, everybody falls in the water.
Not good.
So how do you know if you’ve got key-person risk in your agency?
When I looked at my own business, I realized I was the key person.
And to any potential partner, investor, or even a future agency leader you want to hand the keys to… having one person — especially the owner — be the linchpin is a huge red flag.
They’re thinking: “We’re betting on this agency… but if this one person burns out or leaves, what do we really have?”
Even if it’s not a deal-breaker, it crushes the valuation, the multiple, and your options.
Once I started fixing this, everything changed.
I went from being involved in every marketing decision, every hiring decision, every big sale… to having leaders over marketing, recruiting, sales, and operations who could run and grow the business with me only needing a focused leadership meeting each week.
It didn’t happen overnight — it took time to build the right people, playbooks, and scorecards — but the result was simple:
The agency could grow without me being the hero every day.
Today, we use those same systems across multiple businesses in the insurance world:
- telesales teams
- field organizations
- P&C, life, health, Medicare, and more
Whether your agency sells:
- online through leads and funnels…
- over the phone with a call center or small team…
- in person with field agents…
- or through a mix of producers and sub-agencies…
There are only a handful of ways to sell insurance — and if you’re doing any of them, we’ve helped someone like you.
Key-person risk usually shows up in four main areas of an agency:
Marketing / Lead Flow
You’re the only one who knows which lead vendors to trust, what CPL is good, how to negotiate, how to work the leads, how to track ROI. If you step back, the agency stops generating quality appointments and opportunities.
Sales / Production
You’re the best closer. You’re the one team members bring their “lay downs” to because they don’t want to mess it up. Clients want to “talk to the owner.” Big cases somehow always end up on your desk. If you’re not in the game, production drops.
Product / Training / Delivery
You’re the one who can handle the complex cases, cross-sells, advanced markets, big commercial accounts, annuities, or big Medicare scenarios. You’re the one doing the ride-alongs, the script tweaks, the one-on-one coaching. That makes you the bottleneck to developing producers who can truly carry the load.
Operations / Leadership
You’re the glue. The culture. The one who handles carrier relationships, accounting fires, chargeback issues, compliance questions, and office drama. If you disappeared, people wouldn’t know who to go to, what to do, or how to make decisions.
Here's the hard truth...
The more valuable you become to your agency…
the more dangerous it becomes for the agency.
The better you get, the worse it can be for the business, ironically.
Because the more places your fingerprints are on everything — scripts, systems, hires, deals — the riskier the business is, and the less likely it becomes that anyone else could truly run it… let alone buy it.
So here’s what I learned...
Once you learn how to systematically remove key-person risk — and you can repeat that process in each area — you unlock the ability to scale fast.
I’ve been doing this across businesses and teams, moving my own skill set into playbooks, leaders, and simple systems, so I’m no longer the only answer… I’m just the architect.
And whether or not you ever want to sell, make your agency sellable, or hand it off to a son/daughter or key leader…
Agency owners who scale — and agency owners who want the option to exit someday — all eventually ask the same questions:
“How do I stop being the bridge for my agency?”
“How do I stop being the bottleneck?”
How do I stop being the constraint on my own agency?”
The answer depends on where your key-person risk is the highest — but the good news is, no matter where it shows up, there’s a system to fix it.
That’s why we created the Power Players Mastermind.
It’s how we meet agency owners, diagnose exactly where they’re stuck, and help them build the systems, people, and structure to scale their agency — at their size, in their niche.
This is not a big hype event. No rah-rah conference where you sit in the back and take notes all day.
Inside Power Players, we keep it to serious owners, we get into your numbers, your org chart, your compensation, your lead flow, your recruiting — and we do the actual work of turning your high-paying job into a real agency business.
There’s no magic bullet — if there were, everyone would already be using it.
But there is a very clear sequence of steps you can follow to get from where you are now to an agency that doesn’t rely on you for everything.
We work directly on your business so you walk away with a clear 3–5 step execution plan, designed specifically for your agency.
exactly what to fix
who owns what
simple scorecards
realistic timelines
Imagine this…
Your producers are working proven systems. You can step away for a week or a month.
Renewals and new business continue. Your team makes solid decisions without you.
Quality stays high. Growth becomes predictable instead of random.
You’re no longer trapped in a high-paying, high-stress job with your name on the door.
You own a real business that works for you, not only because of you.
I’m not going to promise unicorns and rainbows — this still takes work.
But we can show you the exact frameworks we’re using with other agencies and how to install them step-by-step.
Because every month you stay the key person, you’re not building a business… You’re building a profitable prison.
If you want to keep running that way, that’s your choice — I get it.
But the owners who plug into Power Players want something different.
They want to turn that high-paying agency job into an actual asset.
Something separate from them. Something that can scale, be handed off, or even sold one day.
There’s never a “perfect” time. These problems compound. They don’t magically fix themselves.
They get louder the bigger you grow — you might be feeling that right now.
When you book a call, you’re simply raising your hand and saying: “I’m ready to fix this.”
We’ll talk through where you are, where you want to go, and whether Power Players is the right room for you.
Don’t wait another 6–12 months while the same issues keep repeating.
It’s like having knee pain: You don’t wait until you’re pain-free to go see a specialist.
Sometimes the best time to fix a problem is today.
Many owners come to us in their busiest season — and that’s completely fine.
If you can fix your agency during chaos, it becomes easy to run it during the calm.
Whatever season you’re in, we’ll help build a plan that fits your reality, not some fantasy.
The key is deciding to fix it — not waiting on some mythical “perfect moment.”
If you want me and my team — the same people behind 8% Nation, CABOOM, and some of the fastest-growing insurance organizations in the country — to help you remove key-person risk and scale your agency the right way…
Book a call. If it’s a fit, I can’t wait to meet you and help you build an agency that finally runs like a business — not a prison.
