See the guy to the right? That’s me, Jeremy—founder of The Jacky Winter Group. Over the past 17 years, I’ve spent countless hours on the web, searching for a system that’d take care of the administration for a business like ours. Alas, it was nowhere to be found. So, after many, many hours of tinkering, hacking and refining, I wished the unicorn into existence and developed Cobbler—a phenomenal mash-up of intuitive systems that automates the thinking of your best producer and agent.
