Unlock Your Agency’s Full Potential
Are you ready to take your independent agency to the next level? At The Ahbe Group (TAG), we understand the challenges that come with running an agency in today’s competitive insurance landscape. That’s why we’ve built a program designed to empower independent agents with the tools, resources, and market access needed to stand out and succeed. As a TAG affiliate, you’ll join a network that provides unmatched opportunities to partner with top-tier carriers, giving your agency the competitive edge it needs to thrive in any marketplace.
Whether you’re just starting out or are an established business looking to expand, our affiliate program offers the flexibility you need to grow at your own pace. With TAG, you’ll have access to cutting-edge technology and a robust support network that handles backend tasks like accounting, carrier relationships, and automation, freeing up your time to focus on what really matters—serving your clients and building your business. Plus, with our industry-leading compensation structure, your earning potential grows as your agency does.
Why Become a TAG Affiliate Agent?
Market Diversification
As a TAG affiliate, you’ll have direct access to a wide array of competitive carriers, including industry leaders like Travelers, MetLife, Safeco, Chubb, Liberty Mutual, Progressive, and more. This broad access ensures that your agency can offer a variety of coverage options to suit the needs of different clients, from personal lines to complex commercial risks. In today’s competitive insurance market, being able to provide clients with multiple quotes and tailored policies is a game-changer. The diversity of carriers allows you to win more business and maintain client satisfaction by consistently offering the best available options.
This market diversification doesn’t just expand your client base—it also provides stability. By representing numerous carriers, you’re not reliant on the performance of one company or subject to the constraints of a single insurer’s underwriting guidelines. This flexibility helps ensure your agency remains competitive and resilient, even when market conditions shift. Whether you’re targeting personal insurance clients or large commercial accounts, TAG equips you with the right partners to meet every need.
State-of-the-Art Technology and Automation
At TAG, we believe that technology should empower, not complicate, your business. That’s why we provide all affiliates with access to cutting-edge, internet-based systems that streamline every aspect of your agency’s operations. From policy uploads to real-time quote comparisons, our platform simplifies the insurance process, giving you more time to focus on sales and client service. Our comprehensive Agency Management System tracks your production, commissions, and client data with ease, delivering clear, accurate reports that keep your business running smoothly.
- Internet-based systems for easy policy uploads
- Real-time quote comparisons for faster service
- Comprehensive Agency Management System for tracking production and commissions
- Streamlined operations that save time and reduce administrative burdens
Freedom from Volume Requirements
One of the biggest hurdles for independent agencies is meeting strict production quotas set by insurance carriers. These volume requirements can be especially challenging for smaller agencies or those in less populated areas. When you join TAG, these concerns disappear. TAG affiliates benefit from the collective production of the entire network, which allows you to meet carrier volume requirements as a group. This synergy removes the pressure of quotas, freeing you to focus on growth without the burden of strict sales targets hanging over your head.
- No individual production quotas to meet
- Benefit from collective production of over 300 affiliates
- Focus on agency growth at your own pace
- Access to top carriers that may otherwise be difficult to partner with
Outstanding Compensation Program
We know that the success of your agency depends on being rewarded for the work you do. That’s why TAG offers an outstanding commission structure that goes beyond industry standards. From day one, your commissions are vested, meaning you own the income generated from your policies, including renewals. With direct access to carriers, you eliminate the middleman, maximizing your earnings potential and providing a clear path to long-term financial success.
- Vested commissions from day one
- Full equity in renewals—your income grows with your agency
- Direct access to carriers for maximum earnings potential
- No limits on your financial success
Freedom to Develop Your Own Agency
At TAG, we recognize that no two agencies are alike. That’s why we give you the freedom to develop your business your way. While TAG provides you with access to top-tier carriers, state-of-the-art technology, and comprehensive training, you retain full control over your operations. You decide how to market your agency, build client relationships, and run your day-to-day business.
This freedom is complemented by our commitment to provide ongoing support. TAG’s agency development department and carrier representatives are always available to assist you with training, marketing, and writing large commercial accounts. Whether you need advice on closing a deal or help navigating a complex coverage issue, we’re just a phone call away. While you maintain autonomy, TAG ensures that you’re never going it alone. Our resources and expertise are always at your disposal, giving you the best of both worlds: independence and support.
No Franchise Fees or Agency Buy-Ins
Unlike many other brokerages that charge hefty fees to join their networks, TAG doesn’t burden you with franchise costs or expensive buy-ins. We’re focused on helping you succeed from day one, not on squeezing you for extra charges. As an affiliate, you’ll only pay a minimal monthly fee that covers essential services like errors and omissions insurance, access to our agency management system, and a TAG-branded website. These shared costs help keep your overhead low and ensure that you have everything you need to run your agency efficiently and effectively.
This fee structure allows you to retain more of your earnings while benefiting from TAG’s extensive network and resources. By keeping costs low, we make it easier for independent agents to get up and running quickly, without the financial strain that often comes with joining larger networks. You can focus on growing your agency without worrying about hidden fees or excessive start-up costs. With TAG, your success is our priority, and we’re committed to providing you with everything you need to thrive—without the financial barriers.

Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to not only run a successful agency but also to grow it in the years ahead.
