As an independent broker, Innovo does things differently than many others in our industry. We believe in transparency because it keeps our clients informed and helps them make smart, cost-effective decisions.
We work for our clients, not the carriers
- Carriers know bonuses don’t sway us. But they also know they have a realistic shot at winning business from us with a competitive offer.
- Our consistently low renewal rates are proof that our process works. Keep reading to see how we average a 2.1% renewal rate.
- We create better business value by focusing on a Triple Bottom Line accounting practice: social, environmental and financial.
What you don’t know can affect your renewal
Broker bonuses can equal up to 30% of a brokerage’s total revenue. This powerful incentive can steer brokers toward a limited panel of carriers.
Limited panels can cost you money because they reduce a broker’s ability to find the best value, and can even diminish their objectivity. How many carriers does your broker work with? We market our clients’ business widely because we’re not beholden to any particular carriers.
Non-standard commission levels allow brokers to name their commission from a carrier. We think the practice can create a conflict of interest. As such, we only accept a carrier’s standard level of commission.
