Why Market Access Is Just the Beginning of Your Partnership with Stuckey

Market access is one of the first things agents look for in a partner — and for good reason.

But what we’re seeing across our agency relationships is this:
many agents don’t realize just how much access they already have — or how much more control it can give them over their book of business.

At Stuckey, access isn’t a talking point. It’s the foundation of how we support independent agents — and it’s paired with tools, guidance, and real people to help agents use that access effectively.

Market Access: A Core Benefit Agents Don’t Always Use

Stuckey partners with agencies across multiple states and provides access to a wide range of carrier relationships — including opportunities for direct carrier access where available.

Yet only a portion of agents actively leverage this benefit.

In conversations with agents, we often hear:

• “I didn’t realize that was available in my state.”
• “I didn’t know that was something I could have access to.”
• “I didn’t think I’d qualify or that it would help my agency.”

When agents do learn about their access options, the response is usually the same: pleasant surprise — and curiosity about how it could help their business.

Why Access Matters More Than Ever

In today’s market, access provides more than just another option — it provides:

• Greater visibility into underwriting expectations
• More control over submissions and renewals
• Confidence when planning growth within a specific carrier or program

For many agencies, having the right access in place can make it easier to manage their book, respond to clients faster, and build long-term stability.

Where Stuckey Adds Value Beyond Access

Access alone isn’t enough — and that’s where Stuckey’s approach is different.

We support agents with:

• Guidance on available carrier access by state
• Clear explanations of what access means and how it works
• Underwriting support to help agents navigate options
• Real people who walk through next steps, not just links or portals

Our goal isn’t to push agents into something — it’s to make sure they’re aware of the tools available to them and understand how those tools can support their agency’s goals.

Making the Most of Your Partnership

As we head into a new year, February’s New Year, New Business Playbook is about helping agents get the most out of their partnership with Stuckey.

That starts with understanding:

• What access you already have
• What opportunities may be available in your state
• How Stuckey can support you beyond the transaction

Because market access is powerful — especially when it’s paired with guidance, service, and a team that’s invested in your success.

More Than Access
