Producer Compensation

The biggest asset inside any independent insurance agency is their PEOPLE! Having the right compensation structure inside your agency is key to attracting and retaining great talent, but it can also have a significant impact on the transferability of your agency, your ability to invest in the infrastructure of your agency, and ultimately the overall value of your agency.   (No CE credit).
