Agent Testimonials

“IAN has provided ISWASH with increased compensation, market access and a voice that we otherwise would not have had, being a smaller agency. We would recommend them to any and all agencies that are looking to increase revenue and streamline agency operations. We look forward to continuing a long and beneficial relationship with IAN.”

- Rebecca Hall
Owner
“Associating with IAN was one of the best decisions we have ever made as an agency. We became aware of IAN around the same time that Nationwide
made major changes to their compensation plan in 2016. After reviewing their contract, it became an easy decision. They have delivered on
their promises and are led by great people. We have found them to be honest and straightforward in our dealings.”

- Ryan Spencer
Partner 
“ISW has brought so much value to our Agency! We have been an AIDCO Agency forever and when Nationwide decided to do away with the program, we panicked.  We are so thankful for Mike and the rest of the ISW team. They have allowed us to keep our Nationwide book and still profit from it.

ISW has also provided access to a host of vendors that have helped and will continue to help leverage our Agency for future growth.  The industry is constantly changing, and we have found it is so important to align yourself with a strong, trustworthy, team that is knowledgeable and focused on the future, and ISW is that team!”

- Wendy David
President 
“After receiving a resounding endorsement of Ron Hammerberg and his agency, First Iowa Insurance, we asked to be a part of ISW and it has proved to do exactly as presented. It provides a seamless method of putting our agency in a category it would not otherwise be in.”

- Joel, Michael and Dale
“I joined ISW to support my fellow AIDCO agencies and to take advantage of the many great benefits that ISW offers. I stay with ISW because of their values and commitment to their Affiliates and the AIDCO Program.”

- Chad Davis
Principal, INDEMNUS Insurance  
"Joining ISW was an opportunity to continue to support the AIDCO program.  Being part of ISW allows my agency to take advantage of the valued added services offered by ISW, which allows us to continue to serve our clients in a very efficient and economic manner. We look forward to fostering strong relationships with the agencies that are affiliated with ISW allowing us to share ideas on how to better serve our clients.”

- Ron Hammerberg
President, ​AIDCO Hall of Fame Member
“Our agency has been an ADCO agency since the beginning of AIDCO. When Nationwide Insurance decided to do away with the program we began looking for a replacement company, then ISW came forward with their program. We are very satisfied with ISW and strongly recommend ISW to any and all ADCO agencies. Check them out, you will be impressed.”

- John W. Jaco Sr.
“Joining ISW has allowed us to focus on what we do best, provide our clients with the products and services they have come to expect. The increased commission and profit share has kept us in a profitable position and is allowing us to focus on expanding our footprint and product offerings.  Prior to ISW, we were treading water and wondering what our next move was going to be to stay independent and not have to merge or face acquisition The transition to ISW was extremely smooth and organized. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any AIDCO agency that fits their successful model.  Ron Hammerberg was more than helpful in explaining the opportunity and walking us through the process.” 

- Dave Fletcher
Owner, K. Threlkeld Agency, Inc. 
Chariton, Iowa
“The main reason and incentive to join ISW is higher compensation as an AIDCO agency! I have received phone calls from potential new ISW agencies who are looking at joining ISW and they all ask, “Is this too good to be true?”. My response is do you want guaranteed increased commissions directly from Nationwide every month! Your PLVC payment will continue as well as the opportunity for an increased Commercial Lines Profit Share. All for a small administration fee. For this I would like to thank ISW for this opportunity to earn higher compensation.”
​
“As far as what ISW is working on offering in the future, which would benefit my agency, is access to additional markets, personal and commercial. Another advantage for being a member is the access to Vendors at reduced pricing.”
Thanks for all that you do for us!

- Robert Bristow
“We joined ISW to maximize our compensation with Nationwide under the new AIDCO contract and to become a part of something that still had the look and feel of what we came to expect from the AIDCO program. It is exactly what we have expected it to be!  The increased commission and profit share have been as promised. We are taking advantage of the technology package offered by ISW and look forward to utilizing these products to move our business forward in this digital age. It has been a great experience so far and we are looking forward to this continued partnership.”

- Nicolas Phair
Vice-President
​“Associating with ISW was one of the best decisions we have ever made as an agency.  We became aware of ISW around the same time that Nationwide made major changes to their compensation plan in 2016. After reviewing ISW’s contract, it quickly became an easy decision. They deliver on their promises and are led by great people. We have found them to be honest and straightforward in our dealings.

ISW is continually innovating and looking for ways to add value for being an associate. The increased compensation was a motivator in joining, but the technology package alone is worth becoming an associate. Joining has alleviated a good amount of the stress and anxiety of being a smaller agency. Associating gives you a voice that you otherwise would not have. We look forward to continuing a long and prosperous relationship with ISW.”
