Step 4	If you are satisfied with our products, services and the agreed commissions – you will then be requested to sign and return to us a non-binding and non-committal agreement with us

Step 5	You will be assigned your own unique agency number and password, which will allow you to login to a registered agents area where you can check and track the status of all your clients’ quotes and policies as well as print and email them their policy documents.
