Experience with Associations?

[keatz85]

Ran into an association that has 1000s of businesses as members which they help support. Anyway my approach was hey I have a service (voluntary benefits) that would help out your members that you could recommend. They basically proposed that I give them profit sharing, donations, sponsor events, etc because other agents are. I would think it would be okay because it's already being done but at the same time it seems like they are asking for a bribe and I don't want to get involved with anything iffy. If they had a license and I split them commissions for referrals that seems legal. Anybody had an experience with this?

Most large associations expect a significant override. There is nothing wrong with it if you follow all of the rules. They often want you to set up a separate entity that is jointly owned by you and the association.
