Hello everyone I am a personal lines agent only,
My question is I know rate increases are part of the business. I am a captive agent only been around 3 years now and we have always been a bit more expensive than the competition. My closing rates have really dipped lately, and now a new rate increase is on the horizon with my company. With it getting harder and harder to hit my personal goals, and soon what my company expects of me. Is it better to start looking into the independent side of things, so I can shop the rate around?
What is a P & C Independent agents closing rate? Thanks for any help, I have just been frustrated with being 100+ dollars more annually on a lot of my quotes. I like the support from a captive agency, but the frustration of coming in so much more expensive is really starting to get to me. Thank you for any advice.
