Does anyone out there have any thoughts on this program??
If you have experience and money its a good idea in the eastern US because our rates are crazy competitive. Plus they bonus a crazy amount of money.
I think our new Head of Distribution Roy Smith has our ship heading in the right direction.
That being said going indy is always preferred IF you have experience in the P&C business and know how to make it.
Run to where? I have no desire to make $50k working for an Indy office building someone else's business and with no insurance experience, trying to open an indy office would be even more stupid. As a layman, I don't understand what is so wrong with the big guys. Based on the production and bonus numbers I've seen, they look like solid opportunities - especially the Farmers Retail program I just looked at. I get that your captive, but so are you if you buy into any franchise system in any industry. Starting fresh with indy might be ideal, but I'm not 22 anymore and have much higher earnings expectations. Show me a way to go indy and make $130k+ net year 2 or 3 with ownership in the value of the book and I'm all ears.

Not at all, but based on what I have seen, I don't perceive the indy route to be viable for the level of income / ownership / support that I would expect early on. If I'm missing something please let me know. I already see many benefits to going indy, but for someone mid-career there just doesn't appear to be a good jumping in point. You are most likely correct that I will be asking exactly that question down the road as I can already see many advantages to the indy route. I have reached out to Erie to get more info on their program as I believe they may offer an indy conversion after a period of time, but still very early on in my research with them.It sounds like you have made up your mind with this decision.
