Sounding Line believes that the industry can benefit from informed, creative discussion on technology-related topics important to independent agents. Unfortunately, too little of that goes on today.
Instead we see posturing, clichés, marketing jargon, utopianism, and lack of imagination. We'd like to facilitate the industry discussion process and Sounding Line Forums is the vehicle.
Below you'll find introductions and questions relating to six general topics that we think are interesting and important. You may have other category and question candidates in mind and we'd like to hear from you about them.
You may have something to say about any or all of the topics below. Don't be shy. Send us a note, article, white paper, whatever — and we'll figure out how to fit it into the right forum as a point of view
Over time, expect each forum to be a doorway into dialog, the results of which should be valuable to all no matter what their point of view, if any, today.
Use the handy e-mail links at the end of each forum to add your comments. We won't directly publish your comments unless you're willing to include your name. But we do welcome comments you think are important to be shared, even if you don't include your name. In that case, we'll try to work the ideas into our contributions without blaming you. We reserve the right to make decisions about what to publish.
