How Independent Agencies Grow with ISU Steadfast

Start Your Journey With ISU Steadfast

Our recent success is due, in large part, to our ISU membership and greater carrier access through its marketplace.  Immediately we have been able to secure better terms and pricing for our clients, place business we would not have been able to without membership and made it possible to win new clients.   

Thanks again for the great opportunity to join the ISU community.  It has spurred us on to new levels of growth that would not have been achieved otherwise and we look forward to our years of partnership ahead! 

Joe Emerich,

Founding Partner, Xartis Group

At our agency, it is about serving our clients and taking care of them. When we see a deposit of commission, we know we are saving customers more than making revenue and we value that ISU allow us to do that.  

With ISU we have the markets and access that allows us to serve our clients in other states, and that’s a game changer. 

James R. MacRae,

Agency President, James R. MacRae Agency

As a newer, boutique agency focused on the middle market, most aggregators couldn’t get their heads around what we’re building. ISU’s professionalism, longevity, and scale set them apart from other networks that were either commission clubs for large agencies or raw appointment access for small agencies. It was clear that the team have built something different and know that ISU are the best fit as we continue our growth, independently, over the next century.

President, Wellhouse Company
