Captive agents may have a catchy jingle, but without the help of an unbiased agent with access to multiple carriers, their customers may not get the best coverage for them — at the best price. A knowledgeable agent who can take the time to fully understand their clients’ needs and can access a wide array of insurance products from different carriers is better positioned to offer more personalized and affordable protection.
The Benefits and Limitations of Being a Captive Agent
While some captive agents may benefit from national brand recognition, they’re limited to the specific products their carrier offers. So if prospects or customers have unique insurance needs that don’t fall under the captive’s umbrella, they’ll have no choice but to take their business elsewhere. If you can attract a customer but not keep them, what have you really gained?
Many customers mistakenly believe that all insurance companies offer basically the same coverage, but this is clearly far from true. Not all homeowners or auto policies are created equal in terms of price or features. For example, some auto insurers offer unique benefits, such as accident forgiveness or discounts for taking a driver safety course, whereas others don’t.
Since insurance can be complex, consumers may not even realize the options or preferential pricing available to them in a broader market. And policyholders may find themselves paying a premium for the prominent branding that backs their captive agency.
We Insure seamlessly blends benefits of both captive and independent models. Our agents offer a wide range of choices from multiple carriers — and have the support and backing of a strong national corporate brand. Customers get the personalized attention they need to find the best coverage, while their agent does the comparison shopping for them.
