Choosing an insurance network is a big decision. Pick the right one, and you can gain the support, carrier access and commissions you need to grow your independent insurance agency. Pick the wrong one, and you could be nickel and dimed into oblivion while losing control over your book.
The stakes are high, so you need to approach the decision methodically. To avoid falling for a misleading sales pitch, you need to know exactly what you’re looking for, and the right questions to ask.
The following guide provides every detail you need to objectively compare networks. Before you pick an insurance network, use the checklists to assess each network you’re considering, and if a network falls short in any category, think hard about whether it’s a dealbreaker. Remember, the network you join will change the direction of your career – for better or worse.
