Compensation Structure

This is a 1099 position with commission rates beginning at 80% of Annual Premium Value (APV) and reaching up to 130% APV, in addition to bonuses and potential equity ownership. Once you achieve a promotional commission rate, it is permanent; there are no criteria to maintain it. Agents earn commissions based on their production levels and receive overrides on their agency's policies based on the difference between their contract rate and the rate of each agent in their agency. Commissions are paid in advance: 75% upon issuance and 25% in months 10, 11, and 12. Agents can attain legal ownership at the 105% contract level with six writers without any capital contribution required. There are no income caps or minimum quotas. New, average part-time agents typically earn $3,000-$5,000 per month in commission for 15-20 hours of work per month (around six policies), which translates to approximately $70,000 annually. Unlicensed agents with no prior experience often start part-time on their own schedule before transitioning to full-time after training. Full-time average agents earn $15,000-$17,000 per month in deposits (15-20 placed policies), amounting to $150,000-$200,000 per year. Passive agency income would be in addition to these personal production averages. The brokerage and carriers also provide bonuses and reward trips.
