What is it like to partner with Brightway?

I had been reading Brightway’s marketing materials for years while working as a producer at a captive agency. I finally decided to look more closely at the Brightway opportunity when I realized that I’d gone as far as I could in that position. Now that I am operating my own agency in Tennessee, I can tell you that I regret wasting all of those years not offering more choice and expert consultation to my customers. I wished I had joined the Brightway family sooner. It was a big step, going from a producer to running my own business, but it’s the best decision I have ever made.

Morristown, TN

Brightway delivers the support that allowed me to move to a new community and start an insurance agency from scratch. Once open, I spent my time networking and relationship building with professional referral sources in the greater Charlotte business community, a luxury unavailable at my previous agency.

Becoming a Brightway Agency Owner has been a very exciting, liberating, and wonderful experience thus far. My home life has drastically improved, and my insurance acumen increases every day; I couldn't be happier with my decision to join the Brightway system.
