28 Assurex Global Partners Designated as a Best Practices Agency

COLUMBUS, OHIO – Assurex Global is thrilled to announce that 28 of its Partner firms have been named 2021 Best Practices Agencies by The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America and Reagan Consulting.

Since 1993, Reagan Consulting and The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) have partnered to produce the Best Practices Study, a comprehensive examination of the top-performing agencies.  Assurex Global’s significant presence on this list represents its position as a top-notch distribution force in the insurance industry.

“We know that our Partner firms are of the highest quality, and this study provides independent validation that they are the best at what they do,” said Dean Hildebrandt, President & CEO of Assurex Global. “We congratulate all of these firms for their accomplishments, including remaining privately-held, as it’s become increasingly difficult to do so in today’s insurance marketplace.”

The study compiles benchmarking data of agency performance and value, including revenue growth and profitability, financial stability, adaptation to a changing environment, and more key metrics. The aggregate results of the highest performing firms (approximately 40 per category) are included in the study. These agencies earn the prestigious status of “Best Practices Agency” and the industry recognition and exclusive benefits that accompany it.
