Hi, besides the early access to better carriers and owing 100% of book instead of most, what are the key differences (pro/con) to both models?
How difficult (or impossible) is it for a new independent agent to get access to the premier carriers like safeco, MetLife, travelers, etc when they first open shop if they don't have a book to bring? I have 8 years captive experience but a non-compete and will be starting from scratch with some solid referral sources .
