For this independent insurance agent and former college varsity player and tournament competitor, partnering with Smart Choice was a hole-in-one. As a third-generation independent insurance agent Cole knows placing coverage for commercial accounts can be tricky. While other agents might turn down those clients, Cole finds a way to help them by leveraging the Smart Choice network.
“I know some of Smart Choice’s competitors, they have a pay-to-play model that involves giving them a bunch of money up front. That might be worthwhile if those networks offered access to more carriers and better options, but from what I have seen, that’s simply not the case. Some of them also have stipulations that can harm agencies – for example, requiring them to meet quotas or pay money back”
