The Two Headed Beast Called Chemistry

I just completed two agency searches on the RSW/AgencySearch side of our business and both really brought to life the importance of two types of chemistry during an agency search.

Adding more prospect categories to the mix-will it become a distraction?

I was in a kick-off meeting with a new agency client the other week and they asked a legitimate question: We want to add more prospect categories to the mix, but will it prove a distraction to the overall effort?
