If a Member accesses a company through Iroquois and subsequently terminates their contract with Iroquois, they are prohibited for a period of two years from seeking a direct appointment with that company. However, they are free to move that company's book to another non-Iroquois carrier. Members also agree that they will not negotiate a direct contract with a carrier that Iroquois has offered to them. If a Member doesn't like Iroquois for any reason, they can terminate the agreement without penalty by giving 90 days' notice. We are often told that our contract is much more user-friendly and less intrusive than other networks' contracts.

Just as dying without a will leaves one's family in jeopardy, not properly preparing for the perpetuation of your agency leaves your fellow employees in jeopardy AND it puts YOUR RETIREMENT in jeopardy as well.

Too often, insuranceagencies tend to renew their Errors & Omissions coverage with the same limit they had during the previous policy period. If this has been the practice in your insurance agency for a number of years, there is a good chance the E&O limit is significantly outdated.
