In this episode, the hosts highlight the unique role of AccessPlus, which is designed to help agents grow and move towards direct carrier contracts. AccessPlus enables members to build strong relationships and demonstrate their value to carriers, giving agents access to competitive carrier options and helping them establish a compelling value proposition. Particularly valuable in hard markets, AccessPlus positions agents to showcase their capabilities, which can be crucial for carriers that are selective with appointments.
AccessPlus isn’t just a bridge to direct contracts; it also serves as a resource for unique or high-value cases, such as niche commercial lines, where direct contracts may not yet exist. As market conditions shift, AccessPlus remains available as a backup, helping agents respond to carrier needs and expand their reach. This flexibility enables agencies to adapt and grow, ensuring long-term success and diverse carrier relationships.
