“All the experts and experienced people told there was no possible way that I could open an agency without buying a book of business or being under a captive market. Because of MAA/SIAA, I was able to prove them all wrong.

Their support, network, and carriers were the key ingredient in my success. I now have a thriving business in a small town, and I’m competing against big agencies.“
