SIA of the Great Lakes Membership Benefits

SIA of the Great Lakes provides your agency with the opportunity to increase its independence, income, and value – while reaping the benefits of belonging to the largest alliance of independent insurance agents in North America; Strategic Independent Agents Alliance (SIAA). More and different than a network, aggregator, or cluster, membership with SIA of the Great Lakes provides:

 

 

  • Become Instantly Big
  • Stay Independent
  • Access to Top Rated Carriers
  • Individual Company Appointments
  • Preferred Company Contracts & Commissions
  • Profit Sharing, Overrides, and Growth Bonuses
  • No Minimum Volume Requirement
  • Stability of a National Organization
  • Ability to compete with larger agencies and clusters
  • Keep existing markets while earning new ones
  • Agency Software Discounts
  • Mentorship/Assistance in Placing accounts
Membership

SIA of the Great Lakes is seeking limited, quality members. We have no specific agency profile because our membership consists of a wide range of agency “types.” The common thread? Our member agencies want to grow and remain independent.

If that sounds like you, then SIA of the Great Lakes will help you meet your objectives. Many of our members are smaller sized independent agencies that were in need of markets. Further, captive agents, direct writers, life and financial agencies, and producers have all found membership beneficial. You owe it to yourself to find out more. Contact us today.

 

Companies Represented

SIA of the Great Lakes and SIAA have formed unique strategic partnerships with a number of leading insurance companies and vendors (on regional and national scales), providing member agencies with supplemental commissions and portfolio management service fees (PMSF), which are fees received from our strategic partners for a variety of services SIA of the Great Lakes and SIAA provide on their behalf. This approach, coupled with the benefits outlined above, further differentiates us from the insurance networks, aggregators, and clusters.

SIA of the Great Lakes has repeatedly demonstrated that, given adequate and competitive markets, local member agencies can become significant producers of profitable insurance business and related services, produce reasonable volume commitments, and reap the rewards of profit sharing and supplemental compensation.

“I have been a member of SIA of the Great Lakes for six years. It has been a wonderful partnership and, as a result, our book of business is five times the size it was when we started. SIA of the Great Lakes has competent, caring and honest personnel that we continue to count on. They have honored all promises and expectations and have become good friends.”
