The Program

Four Pillars of Growth

The Farmers Retail Program is engineered to launch and scale your agency with a combination of upfront capital, performance bonuses, and lead funding.

1

Startup & Fast Start Bonus

Up to $21,000

A $5,000 Signing Bonus plus a $6,000 Exterior Branding Bonus gives you immediate capital to launch. Add up to $10,000 in Fast Start Bonuses on qualifying new business commissions written before appointment, and you hit the ground running with real momentum.

2

Monthly Bonus Program

Up to 340%

A 36-month quarterly tier system rewards your growing production. Qualify for Tier A and earn up to 340% bonus on NB commissions, stepping down each quarter.

3

Monthly Lead Opportunity

$18,000

Receive up to $500/month in Agency Growth Leads Bucks to fuel your pipeline. That is $18,000 in lead funding over the full 36-month program.

4

Recurring Revenue & Equity

Build & Sell

Insurance is a recurring revenue business — every policy you write keeps paying you year after year through renewals, so your income compounds over time. That same renewal book is a sellable asset: agencies routinely trade for a multiple of annual revenue, meaning the book you build today can become a significant payout when you are ready to retire or exit.

The Quarterly Tier System

Your tier is determined each quarter by your agency's total NB commission production relative to your Area's quarterly targets. Q1 is guaranteed at Tier A (340%).

Tier A
Highest production tier
340% → 120% over 12 quarters
Tier B
Mid-range production
272% → 102% over 12 quarters
Tier C
Entry-level production
224% → 84% over 12 quarters
