How do you efficiently link with preferred markets to write insurance business with a regionally diverse group of experienced smaller-volume agents? This is the dilemma insurance companies and agencies throughout much of the country struggle with each year.

Although the local independent agent's personal relationship with his/her clients promotes a high policy renewal rate and geographic diversity, the cost of managing and processing the agent's policies frequently exceeds revenues earned by the insurance company. Additionally, admitted insurance companies continue to restrict their agency appointments to only the few agencies able to meet substantial minimum premium volume requirements.

NETWORKED INSURANCE AGENTS was formed to be the missing link between the smaller-volume agents and preferred insurance companies. By providing marketing, underwriting, placement and policy issuance, NETWORKED INSURANCE AGENTS makes the insurance transaction efficient and profitable for both the agent and the carrier. Multiple carriers attract the Affiliate, and the aggregation of all the markets used by an individual Affiliate, allows knowledge of the agent and expense savings that make NETWORKED INSURANCE AGENTS work. This relational link allows insurance agents to maintain their independence and remain in their local communities, while providing insurance companies access to profitable, community-based insurance business.

Additionally, NETWORKED INSURANCE AGENTS provides:

• Efficient Access to Preferred Insurance Carriers, with marketing/underwriting assistance – not alleged direct appointments that can’t function without regular flow of accounts.
• Continuation of all direct appointments
