Become an Independent Agent: A Roadmap to Success

When you leave a captive job to become an independent agent you open up new opportunities for growth and increased profits. That being said, it’s a scary step for insurance agents to move from captive to independent agents. One of the main reasons that captive agents hesitate to become independent agents is the fear of being alone and taking on all the responsibility that comes with being the boss and running a business.

Overcome fear and become an independent agent

Many captive agents who are seeking to transition to being independent are doing so because they have hit a plateau and are frustrated with their limitations and being stuck doing the same things the same way, over and over. As a captive agent, you are bound by the norms and culture of the company you represent. Much of that frustration comes from being limited by your products and an inability to provide clients with the insurance they need because you are stuck with the insurance products you have. We get it. 

One of the reasons Affordable American Insurance (AAI) was founded was because we saw the need to change the way our industry was run. Being an independent insurance agent means you have a chance to influence the future of our industry. This brings us to the most exciting aspects of opening an independent agency; the chance to change the industry, to affect real change from client relations to marketing to networking and lead generation. At the very least, you’ll finally be able to provide real value to your clients. 

We want to take away the fears of transitioning from captive to independent so that you can realize your dreams and start living up to your full potential.
