First with Gadaleto, Ramsby and Associates, one of the top managing agents for BCBSM.

At our peak, we paid commission to more than 2,000 agencies and serviced their day-to-day challenges.

Not only were agents being swept under the rug, their support system was being dismantled.

Our largest revenue source abruptly canceled our contract, leaving our more than 40 employees desperately wondering where their next paycheck would come from.

And leaving many agencies wondering how they would continue in the industry without a support organization.

From our experience in the industry we knew there would be struggles if the slow elimination of agencies continued.

We had a strong team already in place, ready to continue working with agents and brokers.

This led to a vision for improving agencies’ daily practices and developing agent and broker services.
