NEW Market Access Program:
Independent Market Solutions (IMS)
|
|
Access to markets shouldn't prevent you from writing business. Big I KY understands this and has joined with 15 Big I associations in 17 states to develop IMS - a standard commission market access solution to fit every member.
New or small agencies with little or no direct appointments can begin writing policies immediately.
Mid-sized to large agencies can place a niche piece of business to satisfy clients' needs without taking on additional minimums or placing less desirable risks with an existing market.

InsurBanc on Agency Producer Development Loans |
|
Navigating the cost behind hiring a new producer is no small feat for any agency looking to grow and expand. Patricia Smith, Business Development Officer at InsurBanc, takes a moment to give a brief explanation on Agency Producer Development Loans.
Whether your producer will be on the road or in office selling insurance, the upfront costs of that new hire can cause a strain on an agency’s cash flow. The last thing an agency wants to do is cut corners through the new hire training and development. This could lead to a less successful producer and prolong the gap between hiring and when the agency starts to see the benefits from the new hire.
An Agency Producer Development Loan helps an agency cover the upfront costs of hiring, training and obtaining the necessary equipment to ensure the producer is successful.

|

As if the COI problem wasn't enough, there's a NEW "gotcha" in town - the memoranda of coverage/insurance. In this 42-page Big "I" Virtual University Risk & Reality Report, authors Chris Boggs and Stuart Powell dig into the possible dangers of COIs.
