SNA partner agencies enjoy unprecedented growth as well as increased operational efficiencies, higher commissions and profit-sharing revenues far beyond what can be generated as a stand-alone agency.

As a partner, you get to give your clients the best of both worlds: the product offerings, market clout and quality services of a large regional insurance brokerage combined with local expertise and personalized service – all while maintaining complete independence.

It is our mission to provide SNA partners with greater peace of mind within this network than they might have on their own.

We are bound by a clear and unique culture that encompasses our traditions, values and common goals to help our partner agencies become the best independent insurance sales organizations they can be every day.

Some of our membership benefits include:

• Spreading of risk
• Maximizing profit and profit-sharing
• Gaining carrier appointments
• Accessing agency management resources, such as HR, automation, financial analysis, processes and procedures and agency coaching

We work together by best:

• Strengthening our own businesses by sharing best practices with one another
• Solving mutual problems, like personnel, carrier communications and more
• Providing education and training opportunities for our ever-evolving industry

We work externally to:

• Attract markets and maximize commission levels, thereby increasing profitability
• Attract quality vendors and negotiation competitive pricing for our membership

You’re looking to grow your agency and invest in a community of like-minded business owners, and we want you to know exactly what comes next when you apply.

A step-by-step detailing of your application process:

1. Submit your digital application
2. Receive acknowledgement of the receipt of your application from one of our New Member Committee Co-Chairs within 2 business days along with a request for deliverables
3. Gather and submit the necessary deliverables (i.e., the prior outlined Partner Criteria)​​
4. Our Co-Chairs will then share your application and deliverables with the Committee for a preliminary review before meeting to discuss your application
5. An invitation to interview with the Committee will be extended and said interview conducted
6. An invitation to meet SNA partners will then be extended and your membership vote held

From start to finish, we aim to welcome you to SNA within 4 weeks of your application submission. If that timeline should change or we find that we’re not the best fit for your agency at any point in the process, then that will be communicated promptly.

Should you have any questions along the way, feel free to email us at snagroupinfo@gmail.com.

Our partners are the core of our network, and we take great pride in the quality of each agency and human involved with SNA. It’s our hope that our prospective partners run profitable, quality independent insurance agencies with integrity and passion.

Some of our membership selection criteria include:

• An agency production minimum of $1M
• 55% or less 5-year total book loss ratio
• No new member can be closer than 10 miles from a current partner
• An agency in business for 3 or more years
• A minimum of 3 SNA partner carriers already contracted
• Current membership with either the Big I or PIA

As a part of your application review, we’ll also look at:

• Your agency’s number of employees and the breakdown of roles
• Your agency’s financials
• The Principal’s background, including a credit history review
• Percentage growth from year-to-year

The right fit for SNA is someone who meets these criteria (though a small handful of exceptions have been made for the right partner) and who has a deep desire to grow their agency and themselves.
