Our Partnership
CIC Agency partnered with GBL in order to diversify their business and offer their agents and clients more options. Through GBL, P&C agents can increase sales with the Level 2 sales structure. Level 2 simplifies the sales process for agents and allows them to stay focused on their main lines of business.
1. Agents pass on a lead to their GBL sales contact.
The GBL team will shop the market, complete and submit applications, and keep the agent informed throughout the sale.
2. Agents get paid 50% normal broker commission.
Best of all, agents can choose to work Level 2 or the traditional sales structure (Level 1) on a case-by-case basis.
Working together, GBL and CIC Agency are able to provide the most up-to-date training and information on the newest insurance market trends. GBL's experts also provide customized marketing materials, selling tools, and guidance with the latest technology and social media platforms.
