Some came from captive shops, some were brand new, and some now run agencies in several states. In their own words, this is what owning their book and having a solid back office changed.

Now Independent · Texas
"I spent 8 years at a captive shop. Good company, decent commission structure, but at the end of the day my book wasn't mine. I could leave with nothing. When I came to CrestPoint, it was the first time in my career I actually owned what I built, and that made a big difference. The platform shows me exactly what I'm making, my clients are mine, and there's no cap on my growth. Best decision I've made professionally."
Transitioned from captive agent to independent in 2023
Fast Start Graduate · California
"I was new to insurance and honestly scared. The Fast Start program took that fear away. My Certified Trainer was a working agent, not someone from corporate, and she knew exactly what it takes to build a book. Within the first three months, I had solid clients and understood the platform. The training was practical and current, which is what helped me actually close business instead of just learning theory."
Joined CrestPoint Fast Start program in 2024
Agency Owner · Georgia
"I started on CrestPoint as a solo producer. After about a year of building my book, I was ready to grow a team. The sub-agency structure lets me recruit and train agents while earning from their production. I now have five agents working under me, each building their own books. The team compensation structure is transparent, and the platform makes it easy to track everything. I'm building an agency now, not only selling policies."
Built sub-agency with 5 agents; scaling to 10
Multi-State Operation
"When I started, the idea was to build a local agency in Florida. CrestPoint gave me the tools and structure to think bigger. Because our agents can write in all 50 states with ACA and Medicare, and because our platform handles the complexity of managing multiple teams, I've been able to build a national operation. I now have sub-agencies in six states, and the back office has kept up as we've grown. I couldn't have done that on the other platforms I've used."
Scaled from local to national agency with 30+ agents
Independent Agent · Washington
"The biggest thing for me was understanding that my book is mine right now, not someday after vesting. Every client I write is an asset I own completely, and that changed how I think about my business. When you own your clients, you stop thinking only about this month's commissions and start building something with real equity. The numbers are better than where I was before, and I'm building something that lasts."
Focused on building an owned, equity-building book
Founder & Agency Owner · Nevada
"I came from an agency that used five different platforms just to manage basic stuff. CrestPoint's platform gave me everything in one place: client management, commission tracking, hierarchy visibility and reporting. Now I spend my time managing a growing team instead of buried in admin work. With real-time commission tracking I know exactly where I stand, and my agents do too, which builds a lot of trust."
Streamlined operations; 15 agents across 3 states

Fast Start Cohort
New agent in Fast Start; now building sustainable book of ACA/Medicare business
A new agent with no industry experience entered the Fast Start program. With structured training, a Certified Trainer who was an active producer, and CrestPoint's support team behind her, she never had to guess at what to do next.
After building a solid personal book, this agent decided to grow beyond their own production. The sub-agency model and team compensation structure made that possible.
