Membership

Elite Membership

The Elite Membership package offers all the same benefits as our Gold Membership, but goes a step further. The Elite membership includes Producer Online, a best in class sales and resource tool for insurance professionals. Producer Online, a product of the Rough Notes Company, is considered by many professionals as the best available agent resource for risk evaluation and coverage analysis for commercial and personal lines policies. Producer Online is the ultimate tool for agents who are serious about expanding their horizons.

The Elite Membership package provides you and your staff access to 13 Rough Notes products, including sales aids, training courses, technical analysis of coverage forms, a letter library, Website content, marketing assistance and more. For a live demonstration, please call 1-800-428-4384, X1096 or X1029, and ask for the Producer Online demo for NAPAA members.

Communications

In addition to Exclusivefocus magazine, NAPAA members receive DirectExpress, a weekly email newsletter, and other special bulletins. These publications keep members well informed about Allstate news, industry trends and other topics of interest. Another valuable communication resource is the NAPAA Website, which offers a wealth of information and resources for our member agents, including an online Forum where members and subscribers can exchange useful ideas and share information.

Each year, typically in the spring or early summer, NAPAA hosts its National Exclusive Agent Business Conference, where Allstate agency owners convene to learn new sales and agency management processes from successful agents and dynamic presenters, who reveal their secrets of their success. Then, of course, there is the camaraderie that takes place at these conferences as members meet other members. Many lifelong friendships have developed as a result.

Leadership

NAPAA leadership is comprised of successful, experienced Allstate agency owners who have spent a great deal of time and effort over the past twenty years studying Allstate agent contracts, observing management behavior and scrutinizing IRS guidelines as they pertain to independent contractor status. NAPAA members can draw on this knowledge and experience by contacting NAPAA Headquarters.
