The problem
The aggregator model is built to capture agents. We think it should be built to support them.
- 01
Too few carriers.
You lose business you should have kept because your shelf is too thin to compete in a hard market.
- 02
Contracts written to trap you.
Non-competes, exit fees that look like a second mortgage.
- 03
Profit flowing the wrong way.
Commission splits and profit sharing showing up on someone else's P&L.
Carrier partners
150+ carrier appointments. Here are a few you'll know.
Why we exist

The plan
Three simple steps.
The path from "I'm thinking about it" to writing through new carriers, usually in weeks, not quarters.
- Step 0101
The 20-Minute Conversation
Schedule a call with Paul. No pitch deck. He listens to where you are, what you're missing, and what's keeping you up at night. If ISG isn't the fit, he'll tell you. Honesty is the first deliverable.
- Step 0202
Your Customized Carrier Map
Based on your state, county, and book composition, we show you exactly which carriers you'd be appointed with and what your projected commission picture looks like. Real numbers on real paper.
- Step 0303
Onboarding & Day One
Sign a contract you can actually read. Get appointed. Start writing. We walk you through Salesforce, the agent portal, marketing assets, and the bonus structure. You're quoting through new markets within weeks, not quarters.
20 minutes. No pitch deck. If ISG isn't the fit, Paul will tell you.
What's at stake
Picture both years. The one you stay, and the one you switch to us.
STAY...ANOTHER YEAR OF THIS
- Explaining 30% rate increases to clients you can't save.
- Losing renewals because your carrier shelf is too thin.
- Quiet emails about new commission structures that never quite work in your favor.
- Bonus money that shows up on someone else's P&L.
- Owning a job, not a business.
SWITCH...THE OTHER SIDE WITH ISG UNITED
- Five home carriers instead of two, re-quote the 38% increase and keep the client.
- A bonus check because the program shares profit instead of hoarding it.
- A book of business with your name on it, and a clean exit if you ever want it.
- A leadership team that picks up the phone.
- Time back because the AMS, marketing, and cross-sell engine are already built.
In one line
Most independent agents are stuck with too few carriers and too much fine print. ISG United gives you the carrier access, bonus structure, and resources you should have had from day one, so you can own what you build.
Before / After
Who you become with ISG United.
People don't buy products, they buy a new version of themselves. Here's the version of you on the other side of this conversation.
Before ISG
- An agent inside someone else's system
- Two home carriers, losing on rate
- Watching profit-share flow to the parent
- Operating under someone else's rules
- Buried in a contract no lawyer wants to read
- Solo, calling the same three friends
After ISG
- An owner with their name on the door, and on the book
- Five-plus markets, winning on options
- A bonus check that says partnership
- Running an agency on their own terms
- Clean, flat, transparent, theirs whenever
- Part of a 110+ agency network
FAQ
The questions every agent asks.
If yours isn't here, bring it to the 20-minute conversation. We'll answer it on the call.
ISG United was built around one simple philosophy: when our members win, we win. Unlike many franchise and aggregator models, ISG United allows agents to maintain 100% ownership of their agency, book of business, customer relationships, and brand. We do not require commission splits on sub-coded appointments, and our focus is on creating long-term partnerships rather than generating revenue from our members. Our members gain access to top carrier relationships, agency resources, technology solutions, training, and profit-sharing opportunities—all while maintaining the freedom to run their business their way. Simply put: your business remains your business. We provide the relationships, resources, and support to help it grow.
We believe in transparency. Our membership agreement is intentionally straightforward and designed to clearly outline the relationship between ISG United and our members. There are no hidden ownership provisions, surprise commission grabs, or clauses designed to take control of your agency. Before joining, you'll have the opportunity to review the agreement in detail, ask questions, and fully understand how the program works. We encourage every prospective member to compare our agreement against any other program they are considering.
Carrier access varies based on your state, agency profile, experience, production goals, and existing appointments. ISG United maintains relationships with many of the industry's most respected national and regional carriers. During our discovery process, we'll evaluate your current carrier lineup, identify gaps in your portfolio, and work with you to create a market strategy that fits your agency's goals. Our objective is not to overwhelm you with appointments—it's to ensure you have access to the markets you need to compete, grow profitably, and win more business. The best way to determine available carrier options is through a brief conversation with our team.
Transparency is a cornerstone of how we do business. We believe agents deserve a clear understanding of exactly what they're paying for and the value they're receiving in return. Unlike many franchise and aggregator models, ISG United does not charge large upfront fees, require agency buy-ins, or take commission splits on sub-coded appointments. Instead, we offer straightforward membership options with flat monthly dues: Silver Membership – $299/month • Access to up to 3 carrier appointments • Ideal for agencies looking to fill specific market gaps • No profit-sharing participation Gold Membership – $499/month • Access to all available ISG United carrier partnerships • Eligible for 50% profit-sharing participation • Full access to ISG United resources and support Platinum Membership – $749/month • Access to all available ISG United carrier partnerships • Eligible for 75% profit-sharing participation • Full access to ISG United resources and support Our goal is simple: provide market access, resources, and profit-sharing opportunities that deliver substantially more value than the monthly investment. During our initial conversation, we'll review your agency's goals and help determine which membership level makes the most sense for your business.
We understand that choosing a partner is a major decision. If at any point ISG United is no longer the right fit for your agency, we work to make the transition as smooth as possible. Because our philosophy centers on agent ownership, we are not interested in holding agencies hostage through restrictive agreements. Our focus is on earning your business every day through strong carrier relationships, responsive support, valuable resources, and a genuine commitment to your success. The reality is that most of our members stay because they see the value—not because they are forced to.
Most agents come to us for one of three reasons: 1. They need access to additional carrier markets. 2. They want to increase profitability without giving up ownership. 3. They are looking for a true partner instead of another organization taking a percentage of their success. At ISG United, we believe independent agents should have access to the markets, resources, and support they need without sacrificing the freedom that made them independent in the first place.

Another hard market cycle is coming. You can spend it explaining increases you can't soften, or quoting from multiple carriers and keeping the client.
