What is the average/allowed referral fee from insurance agent to insurance agent in Texas?
Auto & Health Ins
Iѕ thеrе a minimum οr maximum amount a licensed insurance agent mау charge fοr a referral tο another licensed agent іn Texas.
If I come іntο contact wіth many people thаt need auto insurance, hаνе mу license, bυt don’t hаνе time tο аѕѕіѕt сουld I јυѕt continuously refer fοr a fee?
Iѕ thіѕ thе same fοr Health Insurance referrals? Whу wουld mοѕt agents nοt bе interesed?
No, there’s no minimum or maximum. Typically, it’s $10 or $25 a policy, for an auto policy. But MOST agents won’t do that.
You’re probably better off hiring a licensed CSR to do the paperwork and put the business on the books.
There is no minimum or maximum. That would depend upon the agreement between you and the agent. If possible, you want to develop a business relationship with just one agent.
The value of your referrals are going to be based on the quality of the business. An agent is not going to be interested if you constantly refer young drivers who have already racked up several moving violations and are having problems securing insurance. An agent is not going to be interested if you refer business that is just price shopping. An agent is not going to want to pay you for business that lapses after a few months. An agent is not going to be interested in paying for health insurance referrals of individuals who are having difficulty securing insurance due to existing health problems.
It is all going to come down to the quality of the referrals you provide.
