We have brought together a collection of products and services that will allow agents to hit the ground running, start selling almost immediately, and experience success.  If agents are not successful, then we are not successful.\nThe Direct Select Agencies program provides producers a suite of insurance products designed to create efficiency and choice and ease the stress of growing their business.  Access to our markets will help close the product gaps agents might have, allowing them to serve clients fully, while maintaining their independence.\nTHE PROGRAMS\nThe Direct Select Agencies program makes doing business easy for agents and their clients by providing agents access to an array of Personal and Commercial insurance products using 3 access options.  Either online with Underwriter support or from the office through direct sub-appointments with our carriers, agents will have real-time access to preferred national carriers.   Additionally, agents will have access to one of the strongest Excess and Surplus lines companies in the industry for virtually any hard to place Personal or Commercial risks through our Parent Company Appalachian Underwriters Inc.\nDirect Select Agencies approved agents, can provide the service and options clients want, in a time frame that clients have come to expect.\nAccess Options\nEach access option is designed to easily fit into any agent’s business model.\nMarket Access\nAdvisor Agent\nExclusive Agent\nMarket Access is a wholesale model that allows agents to access our carriers through our comparative rating engine, provided by EZLynx.  Agents can complete data entry and see rates within seconds from multiple carriers.  Our experienced Underwriting staff will review referrals and issue once approved, and payment provided.\nAdvisor Agent is a program designed to let agents drive the conversation and control the purchasing process from their office. Advisor Agent provides sub-appointment codes to a variety of Preferred Personal Lines carriers along with access to our comparative rater provided by EZLynx.  Advisor Agent provides quote, issue, and service without referring to one of our Underwriters.\nThe Exclusive Agent program provides the same benefits as an Advisor Agent, with the added access to Commercial Lines carriers. The Exclusive Agent program expands an agent’s portfolio, in house and without underwriter referral.\nTo Get Appointed with Direct Select Agencies submit the following items:\nCompleted agency agreement forms\nCopy of Current E&O Dec Page\nCompleted Pre-Authorization Deposit Form and a Copy of a Voided Check\nSigned & Dated Contract Page\nSigned & Completed W-9 form\nCopy of Resident & Non-Resident Agency Licenses\nCopy of Surplus Lines Resident & Non-Resident Agent(s)/Broker(s) License(s) (if applicable)\nPayment for Membership Fee.\nFor Advisor or Exclusive Agent programs:\nOur staff will assist agents with completing the sub-code applications and submit to our carriers.\nThe carrier will review and process the appointment paperwork.\nOnce the carrier(s) approve the application a sub-code will be issued to the agent.\nExhibit B\nPROGRAM REQUIREMENTS\nMarket Access\nAppointed with Appalachian Underwriters Inc.\nApproved with Direct Select Agencies\nExecuted Agency Addendum\nMaintain current monthly fee\nAdvisor Agent\nAppointed with Appalachian Underwriters Inc\nApproved with Direct Select Agencies and Carriers\nExecuted Agen","cbCaillOpTZRGpVA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaillOpTZRGpVA","docx",85995,"English","# WHO WE ARE\n# THE PROGRAMS\n## Access Options\n# To Get Appointed with Direct Select Agencies\n## Program Requirements\n# PROGRAM BENEFITS\n# PROGRAM COMMISSIONS","[{\"question\":\"Direct Select Agencies提供哪些市场接入方式？\",\"answer\":\"提供3种接入选项：在线与Underwriter支持的Market Access，以及通过办公室进行直接分授权的Advisor Agent和Exclusive Agent。两种办公室模式都提供子代码与EZLynx对比报价能力，并可在授权后直接完成报价、签发与服务。\"},{\"question\":\"Advisor Agent和Exclusive Agent的主要区别是什么？\",\"answer\":\"Exclusive Agent在Advisor Agent的基础上增加了对Commercial Lines承保公司的接入，从而扩展代理人的业务组合，无需Underwriter转介即可在内部拓展组合。\"},{\"question\":\"申请成为Direct Select Agencies的获准代理需要提交哪些材料？\",\"answer\":\"需提交已完成的agency agreement forms、E\\u0026O当前页面复印件、Pre-Authorization Deposit表格及作废支票复印件、已签署并注明日期的contract page、W-9表格，以及居民与非居民agency licenses复印件；如适用还需提供Surplus Lines对应的license复印件，并缴纳会员费用。\"}]","Direct Select Agencies Program | DOCX",1788331435]
