We Understand You Because WE are YOU!

{first_name},

Joining an aggregator, group, or cluster is a big decision. Let’s be honest, we aren’t talking about what you’re ordering for lunch or trying to figure out plans for the weekend.
 
This is a big moment in your career. Our goal at CIA to make sure you don’t join a group that JUST GIVES carrier access. You need to join a group that does so much more.
 
Mike and Taylor spent the last decade as Licensed Agents, Agency Owners, Digital & Social Media Marketers, and Consultants to literally over 40,000 Insurance Agents from all carriers, states, and areas of the country. They understand YOU, this INDUSTRY, and what it takes to be successful.
 
Both Captive Agency Models and Independent Agency Models have their fair share of frustrating elements, creating pitfalls that can make it difficult for an Agent to succeed.
 
Captives are subject to carrier appetite, rate environments, compliance, many hoops to jump through, lower commissions, and limited product selection.
 
Independents struggle with steep learning curves; stringing multiple platforms together, lack of training and support, balancing the requirements of multiple carriers, and having to figure out how to brand and educate their market not only on who THEY are but what carriers they represent.
 
A few years after creating Insurance Soup, Mike and Taylor realized there was not an option available that solved most, if not all, of these problems and they began on a journey to create it.
 
It took several years, as well as 13 different sets of conversations with various aggregators from all around the country. Their goal wasn’t to be just another run of the mill aggregator but to provide the best independent solution for YOU the agent. 
 
They spoke to every potential partner about contracts for Agents... Training... Support... Compensation... Culture... Atmosphere... and with each company they spoke to, there was something that just did not feel right. An element that felt like it was unfavorable to the Agent.
 
Their goal has always been putting the Agent first and making sure EVERYTHING they do has that goal in mind. If you are a regular of Insurance Soup, use any of their products or services, that is no secret to you.
 
Finally, after a long journey, they found a national partner that shared their vision that has been doing great things with Agents for over 20 years.
 
What they brought to the table enhanced and amplified not only the agents experience but provided the agents with all the proper tools to build successful agencies.
