Back New Agency Looking for Insight on Joining an ISU type network

manning ins May 4, 2011 11:59 AM
Hi All,

We are an existing agency that is entering the P&C market in So. CA. We have been primarily in the Life & Health market and just started writing some P&C business. We have a few questions for the forum and are looking for some feedback. Does anyone have any experience working with joint relationships like The ISU Network? Can anyone provide their experiences whether positive or negative? Or, are there any other associations or companies out there that offer similar or better relationships? Since we are small and looking to grow our agency and add onto our existing BoB, we are looking for relationships that will help an agency of our size and won't mind our inexperience in these lines of coverage to help us grow and hopefully grow with them.

Your insight and feedback is appreciated.

Yvonne, We are a general agency that works with several ISU offices. I have heard that they are a good choice but not sure how the commission structure works. In my opinion if you have E&O in place then you should go out and write business now keeping all the commissions for yourself. We specialize in commercial lines, writing general liability, BOP's, commercial auto and workers compensation. If you would like to discuss this matter more, please feel free to contact our office.
