So, you’re ready to go independent. You’ve got the plan, the skills, and the confidence to boot. Now it’s time to put yourself out there and get appointed—kind of like auditioning to work with carriers.

What you really want to know whether Firefly can get you appointed with so many insurance companies. The answer is almost always YES.

Firefly’s appointment process is different from other organizations, and we think you’ll love the what we can do for you!

How is Firefly different?

When signing up with other networks, clusters, and aggregators, they will do some of the work to help you put yourself out there. They will introduce you to a carrier and recommend that the carrier gives you an “audition.”

If the carrier agrees to let you try out, you’ll show them your business plan and discuss what past experience you have. If all goes well, you will get binding authority with that carrier (along with a production requirement.)

A network will typically recommend you to 3-5 carriers. You will be required to try out for each carrier you want to be appointed with.

When Signing up with Firefly, You Audition Only Once.

If we agree that we are a good fit for each other, you make the team. Then, because you are part of the agency, we simply notify the carriers that we have added you as a location. At this point, we expect them to appoint you.

Agents love this for a number of reasons:

You don’t have to try out with each carrier individually. I’s just one and done!
Carriers still need to run a background check, but as long as you don’t have DUI, a criminal record, or severe credit issues, you should get directly appointed with—not just access to—each carrier that operates in your state. (That’s many more carriers than you would get on your own or with a different network/cluster/aggregator.)
You will not have any per-carrier production requirements.

And with Firefly, you get your carriers fast!

“Within 23 hours I was getting carrier appointments.”

Nick Sheppard, Former Allstate agent

“Firefly told us that we would be appointed with most of our carriers within the first 30-45 days and that was 100% the truth–we were blown away!”

Amy Remigio, Wisconsin

How It Works:

Be aware that if you are leaving Allstate or Farmers, your ability to get some companies (Encompass, American Modern, or Foremost) may be more difficult or even have to wait a year or two. But for most of our agents, the appointment process is fast and hassle-free.
