As a professionally managed group of high-performing independent insurance agencies, ISNE has the experience, knowledge, and capabilities required to drive consistent revenue growth for its participants. Through a detailed performance management approach, an exceptionally selective agency invitation process, and an efficient, low-cost operating model, ISNE is able to return, on average, two times the contingency income to agencies.

All Agencies Pay the Same Annual Membership Fee and Receive the Same Compensation Factors

This supports our principles of equality and pay for performance.

Access to Over 100 Standard Markets

You get to take advantage of ISNE’s strong relationships with best-in-class insurance carriers and gain enormous value from the network’s collective bargaining power and expert contract negotiations.

100% of Commissions and Overrides

You benefit from ISNE’s low-cost operating model, which helps maximize agency ROI and makes it possible for all participating agencies to be eligible to receive 100% of the network’s profit sharing, direct commissions, overrides, and incentives.

Professional Support to Help You Maintain Your Independence

You gain the support of an experienced professional management team that is invested in your agency and will collaborate with you on a personalized annual performance plan with custom growth and profit goals by carrier to help accelerate your successes.

Equal Say in the Future Direction of the Network

You join a network with a democratic voting process, in which every voice and opinion matter greatly. You’re invited to attend quarterly meetings, provide input during the annual planning process, support marketing plans, and join ISNE committees when possible.

Shared Information and Intelligence

You will interact with a wide variety of agencies, all of whom are committed to the same values of collaboration and teamwork and the goals of profitability and growth. Additionally, you will receive timely notifications of new products, special incentives, and more.

Centralized Placement Expertise

You can work with ISNE’s carrier-specific specialist to get advice and help accessing markets your agency does not have a direct appointment with, including wholesale brokers for harder-to-place, unique, or high-capacity risks.

What Our Participants Are Saying

"Joining ISNE was one of the single-most important decisions about our agency’s future that we have ever made."

Georgetown Insurance

“Our agency joined ISNE in 2011. It was a decision based mostly on our desire to maximize our revenue with our carriers. As it turns out, we have gained so much more from our ISNE relationship."

Finck & Perras Insurance Agency, Inc.

“Joining ISNE is the best business decision we ever made. The agents that are members of ISNE are a valuable resource for us as they continually provide advice on operations, employees, and insurance markets. ISNE is the premier insurance network in New England.”

MTM Insurance Associates

“Joining ISNE is the best business decision that we have ever made. The advantages of collaborating with 65+ agencies are numerous. As our relationship with our common companies has grown, they appreciate and listen to what we have to say. The Independent Insurance Agency System is best for the consumer, for like-minded agencies in partnership, and it is best for the companies we represent. The possibilities are endless.”

Gallant Insurance Agency

“There were other good options, but ISNE was the best option. I preferred ISNE for the combination of professional management, heavy focus on agencies with lower-than-average loss ratios, franchise value, a central placement person for standard markets we don’t represent, and reputation amongst the carrier representatives. ISNE has a very low annual cost and provides the highest net return to its agency members.”

Foy Insurance

“We really wanted to be sure that we were aligned with an aggregator that was not only going to help us maximize profit sharing and commission contracts but also would support our goals going forward; ISNE was the perfect fit for us.”

Howes Insurance Group
