Many insurance companies try to boost profits by reducing contingency payments - not a smart move. A good contingency contract is one of the most effective and least expensive ways of increasing profits. Having analyzed hundreds of contingency contracts, I've observed that the ones with the best contingencies result in the lowest combined ratios. In a well-designed contingency contract, bonuses are not expenses. They're incentives for the agency to bring in good business and help the insurance company increase its profits.

... , regional companies, mutuals, stocks, and owner-operators all present opportunities to obtain an appropriate agency-company relationship. Company market knowledge is crucial. Knowing about P/C company purchases benefits a consultant, as does having relationships with top management at the companies. Treaty reinsurance brokers usually aren't good specialty insurance program consultants. Unfortunately, very few consultants have the technical knowledge to market programs. Once the program moves to company technicians, the consultant must negotiate with the underwriters and have the educational qualifications to answer their questions to complete the program with a good market.

They can hold their course, maintain capacity, and not cut commissions. Weaker companies will have to cut costs drastically if rates don't keep rising rapidly enough to generate substantial profits at their current cost level. The bottom line: Avoid companies that can't withstand lower pricing. Begin moving business from these companies slowly so that when they begin cutting commissions, selling parts of their companies, or even worse, being significantly downgraded, your agency won't be caught by surprise — you'll already have begun the moving business. Markets, and sometimes crazy competitors, set prices in all industries. Keep this in mind and use it to your advantage.
