The Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance and SIAA have helped me obtain representation with numerous top insurance carriers allowing me to be competitive and grow in an increasingly competitive market. Membership in PIA also provides clout with the carriers that smaller agencies cannot otherwise achieve. As part of this growing alliance, I am able to benefit financially from additional revenue streams negotiated by PIA and SIAA on behalf of all members, without sacrificing my autonomy.

After spending six years as a partner in an insurance agency, I was well aware of the high premium volume commitments needed to get company appointments and to participate in profit sharing. When I decided to go out on my own, the Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance and SIAA stated that, by joining their alliance, they could help me gain access to these same companies and participate in profit sharing at much lower premium volumes. I can truly say that PIA/SIAA has been 'as advertised'. Through a combination of direct appointments and Access Plus, I have been able to offer an array of products and markets to my customers that rival agencies 10 times our size. The bottom line for PIA/SIAA members is an increase in profits and growth potential. I would recommend PIA/SIAA to anyone interested in independence and more income.

The Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance and SIAA have made it possible for me to open my agency and immediately have 15 insurance companies to offer my clients. Through their efforts, we have been able to grow and prosper in a way we would not have been able to do on our own. They have also been able to negotiate much better overrides and profit sharing than we could have ever achieved with our own direct appointments. I don't know how you could open an agency today without PIA/SIAA.

My relationship with the Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance and SIAA started in 1999 as a scratch agency. Not only was I able to gain access to companies and markets that would have been unattainable to me at that point in time, I also received valuable training and management services provided by the staff at PIA that enabled me to grow and flourish within my agency. The growth we have obtained would not have been possible without this relationship. Within a short period of time, our agency gained direct appointments with 3 personal lines carriers and 3 commercial lines carriers all without the standard high premium volume commitments. I truly value the relationship with the Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance and look forward to many more profitable years.

When I joined the Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance and SIAA they made available to me all the companies I would ever need. In addition, through their ability to negotiate enhanced commissions, profit sharing and overrides, my income has increased every year for the past 7 years. Everyone in the alliance is pulling in the same direction for a common goal and are very easy to work with. My agency would not have grown as quickly or as profitably without joining the Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance and SIAA.

As a life and health insurance agent looking to expand into the property and casualty market, joining the Pennsylvania Insurance Alliance was an easy decision. They provide instant access to several top carriers, enabling me to offer a variety of quality products, and effectively compete with any other agency in the area. This is essential in today's competitive environment, and gives me the opportunity to build my book of business, both in personal and commercial lines.
