The Compensation Plan

Three ways to earn — your personal sales, your advancement, and overrides on the team you build. Here's exactly how it works.

The honest headline first: You are paid on insurance products that are actually sold and stay on the books — by you and by the agents on your team. No one is paid simply for recruiting another person. Like any commission business, results depend on your effort, skill, and consistency. Most who join part-time earn modest amounts; some earn nothing; a focused few build substantial income. Please read our Income Disclosure before making any decision.

1. Personal commissions

When you write a policy, the carrier pays a commission based on the premium and product type. Your share is set by your contract level — the percentage you're appointed at. As you produce and develop, your contract level increases, so you earn more on the very same sale.

2. Advancement — your contract level grows

Everyone starts as an Associate and advances by hitting production and team-development milestones. Higher rank = higher personal payout and a wider override spread on your team. Promotions are based on results, not seniority.

1

Associate

Newly licensed and appointed. Learning the products, writing your first policies with a mentor alongside.

Rank names and milestones shown are illustrative of the advancement structure. Exact contract levels, qualifications, and percentages are defined in your agent agreement and carrier schedules and are provided in writing before you sign.

3. Override income — "the spread"

When you mentor an agent who's at a lower contract level than you, you earn the difference (the "spread") between your level and theirs on the business they write. It's not taken out of their pocket — the carrier pays each level its contracted percentage. This is how leaders are rewarded for training and supporting producing agents.

Simple example (illustrative). Say you're contracted at 90% and an agent on your team is at 70%. On a policy that pays $1,000 in first-year commission, the agent earns $700 and you earn the 20-point spread — $200 — for developing and supporting them. Real percentages vary by rank, carrier, and product.

4. Generational overrides

As you advance, you don't just earn on the agents you personally bring in — you earn smaller overrides on the agents they develop, several generations deep. This is what turns a team into a durable, partly passive income stream.

Largest
1st Generation

Agents you personally sponsor and mentor.

Mid
2nd Generation

Agents developed by your 1st generation.

Smaller
3rd Generation+

Deeper teams, unlocked at higher ranks.

Number of payable generations and the percentages for each are tied to your rank and are detailed in your agent agreement. Generational overrides require you to maintain your own qualifying production.

5. Bonuses & recognition

Built to stay legitimate. Compensation is earned on real insurance sold to real clients who keep their coverage — never on recruiting headcount, and never on buying inventory or "buying in." If business lapses or is written improperly, related commissions can be charged back. That's by design: it keeps the focus on serving clients well, which is the only thing that pays long-term.
