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.

As a prior corporate manager, I wanted to remove myself from corporate politics. Joining Brightway has allowed me to work with an organization that truly values innovation, success for all and integrity.

“Brightway gave me the opportunity to be my own boss and to manage my time and how much I want to grow my business. It also gave me the freedom to help all types of customers, something I was not able to do in the captive world and something I value most.”

"The partnership that exists between my agency and Brightway is one that makes us very confident and optimistic about our long-term success. Brightway is committed to a very open style of communication and is genuinely concerned about issues that are brought to them by Agency Owners."

Brightway, The Walters Agency Morristown, TN

"I had been reading Brightway’s marketing materials for years while working as a producer at a captive agency. Now that I am operating my own Brightway Agency, 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’s hard for me to imagine what it would cost me outside of the Brightway system to have the industry-leading Marketing team I enjoy here. The team provides me with a customized website that drives leads, specialized referral pages for my business partners, continuous cross-sell campaigns that help me build my book, customer newsletters tailored to my agency, and an online Marketing tool shopping site.

“By converting my independent agency to a Brightway agency, I was able to give customers the impressive choice in carriers that Brightway offers. Even better, my existing customers get great service that is focused on keeping them happy and retaining their business, which lets me spend more time growing my business.”
