Kurt Turner is an independent agent in Shelbyville, Ky. He noticed that the best part of company meetings is talking with other agents during breaks. So, he started an insurance community forum site called [1] InsuranceGossip.com, where agents and others in the insurance business can exchange ideas, get marketing sales ideas and tips, and ask/answer questions.

The site is agent-focused and not currently designed for others in the industry. Anyone can browse the site and read the questions and answers. Once you register, you can post (or answer) comments or questions. Different categories have been created to focus discussions on certain topic areas. Access to the site is free and there is currently no advertising.
