“Since entering a partnership with SIAA in 2009, our agency binds coverage for over 80% of the clients we quote. My only regret, is not knowing about it sooner. A first class organization with first class leaders.” Darren Engar

In 2014, I made a tough decision. I left my 12-year career in as a Mortgage Consultant to completely start over as an insurance agent. I wanted to fulfill my dream of becoming a business owner, but more importantly a legacy that I can pass on to my children, so I needed to make a change. In 2016, I was contacted by Chicagoland SIA. Their amazing support, distribution model, and the many opportunities offered by Chicagoland SIA made the decision to join a no brainer. While I was approached by many different insurance aggregators and networks, they did not offer the same advantages as joining the largest alliance of insurance agencies nationwide – SIAA.
Being an independent agent, knowing that the solutions you offer your clients is incomparable, is one of the best feelings. Becoming part of Chicagoland SIA was the best career move I have made. If you want to be a successful insurance agency, I strongly recommend becoming an Independent Insurance Agent with Chicagoland SIA.
Thank you, Chicagoland SIA, for giving me, and my family, the best opportunities, and the chance to achieve my dreams. Valdet Zuteja

“SIAA has been a great partner for our agency for many years. It has allowed us access to many carriers that we would not otherwise have. Due to our association with SIAA the carriers provide us with superior service and work with us to grow our agency. In addition, we are able to obtain much better pricing with our management system and our comparative rater, this allows us to run our agency more efficiently. Finally, the over-rides that are available to us as a member are outstanding, we would never be able to negotiate that on our own. I feel it would be much harder to be an independent agency without our relationship with SIAA and our master agency.” John Miller

I needed somebody who had expertise in digital strategy and marketing to evaluate all of my marketing, website, and social media platforms. I was getting traffic on my website and from Google but it wasn't necessarily leading to a lot of sales and I was getting very little interaction on social media posts. My website had a lot of information but was cluttered. Kelsey did a full digital analysis of my entire company and gave me step by step feedback on things to change on my website, my Google business, and all my social media platforms. She also explained what I was doing well and why it was good with all kinds of detailed notes and helpful information. I feel if I had hired somebody to do this it would have cost me thousands of dollars but to have this type of value included with my SIAA membership speaks volumes about the organization and what it can do for any agency. I'm confident all of the changes will not only help my agency grow but will help establish more credibility to my existing and potential clients. Terrence Kloss
