i open my agency 2 years ago, 90% i do is commercial, now my existing clients asking me for home and auto quotes, so i am looking for a cluster which give me direct access to carrier where i can get quotes right away instead of sending accord and waiting for their response.
Depending on your volume, you can use a service like Superior Access or Insurance Noodle to do this. Its easier (mostly cheaper) than signing up in a cluster to write a few policies every month.
Most clusters have a 'buy-in' or some form of commitment up front, which isn't bad if you anticipate having the volume required to make it worthwhile.
Thank you guru, for your advise, yes in beginning i am not going to write alot, i cannot do any kind of commitment.
with insurance noodle and superior access do they give me direct access so i can get quote my self?
hi any body please help me i am new to this i need to know how to start new thread.
i posted this thread before and now i forgot where to go to post new post
Please some one help me
I am a Territory Manager with Superior Access. With Superior you will have access to a Dashboard online that has EZLynx comparitive rater built in. You will be able to quote Personal lines business instantly but it will take a little time (typically 24hrs) to get a bindable quote returned from our processing department. You own your book of business from the start and have no contracts or non compete agreements to worry about.. call and check it out. We have 1200 active california agents . Some writing $100,000 to $200,000 a month.
Find something like Midwest Insurance Agency Alliance in your area and compare with the others. A good rule of thumb I find to be helpful is, if it looks too good to be true it probably is. Forinstance if you want to own the business outright you probably should have the contracts in your own name. Just as an example. Do a comparison side by side I am confident you can't go wrong with a group similar to Midwest Insurance Agency Alliance in your area.
Check out agency equity .com. he is on the forum, he has a very good website, all about p&c. I have looked at a couple of ways. Superior access looks good, smart choice ia a possibility, but i ruled out, MSI, Their deal is bad. I think MIAA maybe a cluster, and maybe a sister cluster, to your cluster RBA.
