Frequently Asked Questions

What is IronPoint Insurance Services?

IronPoint Insurance Services is the agency that created this membership program. We aren’t an aggregator, rather, we’re a membership organization.

We offer programs that allow members to access personal and commercial product offered by our partner insurance carriers.

Our membership program also offers a variety of benefits to help our members grow their business, including technology and a full marketing system.

How did the membership program get started?

The idea for IronPoint programs started with our founder, Scott Boren. While working for a national, captive agent driven company, he began looking to find a way to bring together the best of all three distribution channels (Captive, Independent, and Direct), to help smaller and start-up insurance agencies succeed. To learn more go to the IronPoint History page.

What benefits do members get?

All members get access to the member’s portal and to our rating and policy management technology. Additionally, all members get access to our leads program and can get 100% of life insurance commissions. In order to get carrier access, you have to be an Access Member. However, only Platform Members get access to the full suite of technology products used to create the digital agency of the future. To better understand what this means, discuss Platform Membership with a recruiter.

What kinds of agencies are a good fit?

There is no specific member profile and we have members of various sizes. Many of these members are smaller agencies either in need of markets OR wanting to grow and compete with larger agencies in their marketing territories. Additionally, captive insurance agents, life and financial service agencies and producers without vesting in their book will all find the IronPoint Agent programs extremely valuable. Generally speaking, our agents share an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to achieve a greater than average level of success.

How does membership increase the income and value of an agency?

The answer to this question can be different for each agency owner. For those only looking to make money on accounts they otherwise couldn’t sell, the Referral Membership may be a good way to get added income. For those looking to simply get access to preferred carriers and broaden their product offering, then the Access Membership may be right. However, for those looking added income and carrier access, but are also seeking to future proof their agency, create a more efficient Backoffice operation, and have the helping had of a proven partner, the Platform Membership can propel your agency to the next level.

How does an agency access the IronPoint Insurance Services companies?

This depends on how you setup your membership. Referral members only access carrier rates and policy management through our rating and policy systems. Access and Platform members get direct access to the carriers, typically within the first week of contracting.

How much does it cost to become a member?

There is a one-time membership fee, but there are NEVER any monthly fees for access to our partner carriers or to use the IronPoint member services.

Members are all free to enroll in technology or marketing & lead programs, each has a different cost. Other than the IronPoint Agent technology, other third-party technology and marketing systems are optional.
