Frequently Asked Questions
- I am a career agent with another company and am required to write the majority of my business with companies that URL does not represent. Am I still eligible for the Gemini program?
Yes. URL is only interested in partnering with you for the companies that we represent. During the application process, and annually, we run a check through the National Insurance Producer Database to verify your active contracts.
- Are there production requirements for participation in the Gemini program?
Yes. Gemini Partners must place at least 8 cases in a calendar year. Production is reviewed prior to E&O renewal.
- I am interested in participating in the Gemini program but there may be some companies that URL represents that I or my agency may not be able to place with URL. Am I still eligible?
We understand that every agent and agency’s situation may be a little different, and we look forward to discussing these on an individual basis.
- Will the inability to secure a release from another brokerage firm, MGA, or FMO be a sufficient reason for not being able to place business with URL?
Although we intend to be flexible and review each relationship on an individual basis, the inability to secure a release will not be a sufficient reason for not placing business with URL. URL has always had an open release policy and we believe other brokerage firms should as well.
- What if URL cannot match the commission level and other benefit packages I have elsewhere?
The Gemini Guarantee states that we will match and strive to better any arrangement that you have elsewhere. If we cannot match or better your current arrangement, then you will not be expected to place this business with URL.
- What if I make the commitment to participate in the Gemini program and then change my mind in the future?
You may leave the Gemini program at any time with written 60-day notice. URL agrees to grant all necessary releases for you and any agency down line. Likewise, URL may initiate termination of your participation in the Gemini with written 60-day notice (all Gemini bonuses and other Gemini benefits will be considered earned until the date of termination).
- Are there Agency contracts available?
Yes. We look forward to discussing the advantages and benefits for any Agency or group of Agencies with 2 or more Sub-agents that is willing to participate in the Gemini program.
- What are Gemini Special Events?
We believe that there is value in networking and camaraderie among professionals and we intend to promote this with unique events for Gemini participants.
- What is Gemini Charitable Giving?
URL Insurance Group and The Gary C. Clemens Memorial Fund will prioritize causes supported by Gemini participants when considering our numerous requests for charitable giving up to $100.
