Contracting & appointments

Carrier contracting and appointments, tracked in one place

Follow every agent’s contracting from request to active appointment, record comp levels by carrier and product, and see at a glance who is ready to write what, across all your carriers at once.

Before an agent can write a single policy, they have to be contracted and appointed with the carrier. An agency that writes twenty carriers is tracking that state for every agent, twenty times over. When it lives in email threads and a shared sheet, someone always ends up selling a product they are not yet appointed to sell.

AgencyGrid turns contracting into a tracked pipeline that lives alongside your agency hierarchy. Each agent-carrier relationship has a status, a comp level, and the products it covers, so the agency can see exactly who is ready to write which carrier and chase the ones who are stuck partway through.

Track contracting from request to active

Contracting is a multi-step process: paperwork goes to the carrier, licensing is verified, and eventually the appointment comes back active. AgencyGrid tracks each agent-carrier pairing through those stages so nothing stalls silently in a carrier’s queue.

Because the agency can see every in-flight contract at once, usually kicked off during agent onboarding, an onboarding manager knows which producers are blocked, which are waiting on the carrier, and which are cleared to start writing, without emailing each carrier to ask.

  • A status for every agent-carrier pairing
  • See who is blocked, pending, or active at a glance
  • Licensing verified as part of the contracting phase

Record comp levels by carrier and product

An appointment is not just on-or-off. It comes with a comp level, and that level differs by carrier and often by product line. AgencyGrid records the contracted comp level for each pairing, which is the same figure the platform later uses to compute expected commissions and differential overrides.

Keeping comp levels on the appointment record means the number that drives every downstream payout calculation is stored where it belongs, not buried in a separate spreadsheet that reconciliation can’t see.

Know who can write what, where

The everyday question in a multi-carrier agency is simple: can this agent write this product in this state right now? With contracting, appointments, and licensing all tracked together, AgencyGrid answers it directly instead of leaving a manager to piece it together.

That readiness view also drives recruiting and carrier strategy: an agency can spot which carriers its downline is under-appointed with and open the contracts that unlock more production.

FAQ

Common questions

What does carrier contracting and appointment tracking involve?

It is the process of getting an agent contracted and appointed with each carrier so they are cleared to write business. AgencyGrid tracks every agent-carrier pairing through its stages, from paperwork and licensing verification to an active appointment, and stores the comp level that comes with it.

Does AgencyGrid track comp levels per carrier?

Yes. Each appointment carries its contracted comp level, which can differ by carrier and product line. That figure is the same one the platform uses downstream to compute expected commissions and differential overrides, so it lives on the appointment record rather than a separate sheet.

Can I see which agents are appointed with which carriers?

Yes. AgencyGrid gives a readiness view across all carriers at once, so you can tell who is cleared to write a given carrier and product, who is still pending, and where the paperwork is stuck, without emailing each carrier individually.

How does contracting connect to the rest of the platform?

The comp levels and appointments recorded during contracting feed directly into commission and override calculations, and appointment status ties to each agent’s place in the hierarchy. Contracting is not a silo. It is the front of the same pipeline that ends in a settled payout.
