Carrier Commisson Rates

As an LSP (licensed sales producer) for a captive agent with Allstate, it's 15% annualized commission for all personal lines. Zero for renewals. Bogus, but seems to be the norm after speaking with several Allstate agents.

Allstate commissions for exclusive agents are 9% new and 9% renewal. You can earn your way to 10% and 10% if you sell enough life apps. Then, if you sell enough P&C throughout the year and you sell enough life insurance you can get up to a 4% bonus on both your new and renewal business that you earned for the year.
 
Wow, that's really sorry. I guess I was lucky cutting my teeth at Nationwide, they paid more in line with other carriers, not the BS that Allstate and SF are paying.
I'm curious, of everyone who's posted their commission rates thus far, are those your commissions negotiated directly with the carrier, or are you a member of a cluster or group? And if you are part of a group, is that commission before or after your split?
 
My commission was negotiated with the agency principal. I know some of the comp plan details for scratch exclusive/captive agents, but not everything. The one thing that seems most attractive to me is that agency principals own their books. Not familiar with how other carriers structure that portion of their contracts, but was always under the impression most captive agents never own their books.

It definitely sucks not getting paid renewals - forever chasing the next sale.
