Testimonials
Bartley & Bartley has worked with PIIB for less than one year and has experienced favorable results. We have placed business for our clients through the PIIB Markets that our current Insurance Companies would not write. The PIIB members are extremely helpful and fast in identifying markets for me to make the process of placing business more efficient. We are extremely happy to have joined the professional and well organized Association.
—John Bartley, member
My small agency joined PIIB, and, overnight, it was able to compete with the largest brokerages on a level playing field. And, best of all, I dont have to talk to company marketing representatives all the time.
—David Haynes, Secretary Treasurer
I’ve been a direct writer, producer for multi million dollar agency, on my own, and with another cluster. Four years ago I found PIIB and it has been the best experience yet! PIIB gives me all the freedom that I want from being an independent agent plus the added strength, markets, and profit sharing of being part of a $50,000,000 agency. I’m a happy camper!
—Charles Katz, Vice President
What I like best about PIIB is what doesnt change after you join. Your agency name, your agency management systems, your mailing address, the relationships you already have with markets and the ownership of your agency are all still the same!
—Frank McKnight, member
Our companies obviously value PIIB since I receive one or two calls each month from prospective members who have been referred to PIIB by our company reps and RVPs.
