Testimonials

"IGN gave me the freedom to implement my business model, which led to groundbreaking success. We shattered industry trends and achieved tenfold growth in less than three years. They not only offer market access but also facilitate the consolidation of back-end teams, enabling me to fully leverage human capital and achieve scalability."

Mohit Halkare
President, Mango Insurance

We were on the same page from our very first meeting, discussing long-term strategic plans informed by demographics, technology, and personal ambitions.

"Our first year with IGN saw us double our business. By the second year, our growth rocketed six-fold. But it wasn't just about the numbers; IGN's hands-on approach and strategic guidance made this rapid growth manageable.

IGN doesn't just propose growth - they deliver it, transforming us into a million-dollar office. They have a unique vision for achieving growth, continually seeking innovative approaches and strategic alliances to stay ahead. With IGN, we found not just a network, but a partner genuinely committed to our success. IGN's role in our story is undeniable; without them, we wouldn't be where we are today."

Marty Skinner
President, Progress Insurance

"From the outset Ben McDonald (IGN) and I shared a vision for what could be achieved. IGN's system and strategies sped things up for us, and we turned our initial three-year plan into a one-year reality. Their clear-cut accounting and onboarding systems were a key part of this speed-up. IGN provided the practical tools and advice we needed to grow fast. While I believe we could've reached our goals on our own eventually, IGN certainly put our progress into high gear."

President, CMB Grande Prairie

Insurance Growth Network FAQ

  • Insurance Growth Network (IGN) sets you up with supports, skills, and strategies to help you launch or grow your insurance brokerage. We partner with you to empower your success and help you achieve your financial goals. IGN provides a comprehensive growth plan that includes personalized support, proven strategies, and centralized services, including access to top carriers, new markets, and top talent acquisition. We work closely with you to ensure accountability and alignment with your unique needs and ambitions.

  • We’re in the business of building brokerages. Instead of a focus on acquisitions, we’re here to support your success and unlock your growth potential. IGN works with you to build both your brokerage and your future. Whether you launch an existing brand or create a unique one with our assistance, we’re all about adding to your client list and building your bottom line.

    IGN takes care of broker fundamentals and operations so that together, we can focus on the three main drivers of your growth:

    • Hiring and developing great talent to strengthen your culture and your team

    • Writing new business

    • Retaining clients

  • IGN fills a gap in supporting insurance brokerages looking to grow, and eventually sell, on their own terms in their own time. We push back against the narrative that mergers and acquisitions are the only path to growth. If your brokerage becomes a small part of another company’s portfolio, you’re just one of many to them. Your success is not their focus.

    IGN offers another way that lets you control your future: a network that supports brokerage autonomy while providing customized services to optimize value and independence.

    We also stand out from other networks that focus on surface-level needs and solutions. IGN goes beyond cookie-cutter advice to commit to our shared future. Our success is tied to your success, which drives accountability on both sides. There is value in being a part of our network, where we work together to capitalize on your strengths, collaborate on problem solving and contribute new ideas. Our goal is your growth, so we only win if you win.

  • Organic growth means growing your business internally, through new and existing clients. Despite the trend towards mergers and acquisitions in our industry, organic growth is as important as ever – but it’s not easy. At IGN, we believe that it’s possible to grow by drawing strength from the resources and supports of a like-minded network of experts.

    How do we help you grow organically? It starts with building a playbook. Here’s what we focus on:

    • Clear differentiation of industry verticals to set you apart and help you write new business

    • Logical and proactive service plans to make your clients’ insurance experience predictable, and help you retain clients

    • Helping you build an outstanding team by matching the right person to the right role and giving them the processes they need

  • IGN doesn’t do “one-size-fits-all”. Cost plans and terms are as flexible and customizable as your individual growth plan. Flexibility is our focus. Instead of starting with a standard fee, we work with you to find the right mix of support and resources to match your unique business and goals. Costs flow from perfecting the mix of brokerage services best suited to your needs. Capital and flexible financing are available, and IGN offers as many cost and terms options as we do pathways to success.

  • None! We are building a national network.

  • 1. Sales

    • Organic growth

    • Brand, advertising and promotion

    2. Operations

    • Client retention and experience

    • Employee productivity and information technology

    • Performance reporting and benchmarking

  • You’re in the driver’s seat. The pace is dictated by you and your growth plan. Members have joined our network in as few as 30 days, or taken as long as a year. Set a course, and steer as needed.

  • Yes. We can find what works for you. We have our own funding, or can help you secure the financing you need. Let’s talk.

  • If you want to maintain your independence and accelerate your growth by joining forces with a strong ally and our rich array of tools and support, IGN is right for you.

    Whether you want to grow your business until it’s the right time to sell, or launch your own brokerage to take control of your career, IGN has the tools, processes and experience to make your plans a reality.

    In terms of growth, if you:

    • value business built on relationships and expertise

    • are driven and motivated to succeed on your own terms

    • stand your ground in the face of challenges

    • believe growth and independence are both possible

    • are ready for a change for the better

    IGN is right for you.

    When it comes to selling, if you want to:

    • maximize your exit position

    • organize and prepare on your own terms and timeline

    • choose the right moment

    • and score the highest possible price,

    IGN is right for you.

    It’s really about having a vision for your future. If you believe you have what it takes to be among the top brokerages in the business, IGN can help.

    If you want to be a top performer; if you’re ready to put in the work to maximize shareholder value; if you know you don’t want to be average – IGN is ready to talk. If your answers to these questions are yes, then IGN is right for you, and you’re ready for IGN.
