Insurance is not sexy. The outdated, stuffy and old school stereotypes that come with your profession, makes you sometimes question why you chose it at all. The cloud of mystery that surrounds the core of your business also makes it very hard to pepper in the pizzazz when it comes to marketing your products and services.  Now, you and I both know that the insurance industry is, in reality, a very great business to be in. You can very positively impact your clients' lives, it takes a great deal of intelligence to be good at it, and it can also be very lucrative.  [Read More](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/11-insurance-agency-sales-marketing-ideas) 3 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/11-insurance-agency-sales-marketing-ideas#comments-listing) Topics: [Insurance Agency Marketing](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/topic/insurance-agency-marketing) ## [DIY Websites vs. Professional Builds](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/diy-websites-vs.-professional-builds) Posted by [Patrick Sitkins](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/author/patrick-sitkins) on May 24, 2016 11:44:05 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.adaptiveims.com/hubfs/social-suggested-images/web-design-trends.jpeg)](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/diy-websites-vs.-professional-builds) ### *With all of the DIY Website platforms out there, is "website developer" becoming a job of the past?* Absolutely not!

This morning, I was back in the pool at 5:30 am. While I generally enjoy swim workouts (more so than running), they can be a bit tedious and certainly boring at times.
