Frequently Asked Questions |
How
do I get started?
After your initial 5 minute sign up
process you'll
receive your login* and password. A
member of our staff will
then contact
you to show you how to go online and
complete a 25-30 minute carrier
interview. This
interview will give us everything
we need for all carriers in our system.
We will
then ask you
to fax copies of your licenses,
electronic signature form, proof of E&O
insurance and a
voided check from
the account
you would like your commissions
deposited into. We'll
then appoint you with each
company as you write business unless
pre-appointment is required.
There are no paper forms required
to get appointed.
*Your log in will be your email
address, please note that we will also
be using this email address for your
carrier interview log in.

up current appointments?
