Agent Summit Panelists Are Taking Questions

“We have seen some incredibly insightful questions, most of which we never would have come up with on our own, which is the whole point,” said Gesualdo, who also serves as publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “We only have a few days left, so I hope anyone who has a good, challenging questions will click the ‘Submit’ buttons.”
