As a Referral Agent with HoneyQuote, you play a critical role in the sales process while we handle the policy servicing. Understanding this relationship helps you focus on what you do best—building client relationships and selling insurance.

When a policy is bound, HoneyQuote becomes the Agent of Record, meaning we retain official ownership of the policy. This allows us to manage all servicing, including renewals, payments, document submissions, and coverage changes, ensuring policies are handled efficiently and professionally.

As a Referral Agent, you maintain ownership of the client relationship. This means that while HoneyQuote manages the servicing of the policies, we will never attempt to upsell, cross-sell, or solicit any business that wasn’t originally referred by you. You retain the exclusive right to reach out to your clients to offer other lines of business or move them to any direct appointments you may have.

This ensures that your relationship with the client remains intact, and you have the freedom to continue providing them with the products and services that meet their needs.

As a Referral Agent with HoneyQuote, you benefit from a streamlined process that allows you to focus on your clients while we handle the back-end work of managing policies.

For every successful referral that results in a bound policy, you will receive commissions for the business you’ve referred. This partnership allows you to take advantage of HoneyQuote’s extensive carrier network without needing to manage the policies yourself.

Once the policy is bound, HoneyQuote takes over all servicing responsibilities. This includes handling renewals, collecting payments, processing document submissions, and managing any coverage changes. By allowing us to manage these tasks, you can focus on growing your client base and developing new business opportunities.

Clear communication with your clients is essential in maintaining trust and ensuring they understand the role HoneyQuote plays in managing their policies. As a Referral Agent, it’s crucial that your clients are aware of how this partnership works.

Clients should be informed that they will receive direct communication from HoneyQuote regarding their policies. By preparing your clients for this, you help ensure a smooth transition once the policy is bound.
