A National Approach

Connect Insurance Group, Inc. has integrated a nationwide group of independent agents who, through Exclusive Agent Representation and Strategic Partner Companies provide a superior cost/benefit proposition to both the participating agents and their constituent customers. CIG is now in seven US States in which over 225,000 agents are employed. CIG is poised to capture two percent of this agent market with its new expansion. This equates to over 4,000 active agents. Our studies have shown, with the current regulatory climate in the insurance industry within the US, that a “deep” approach instead of a “wide” approach to our business model is a more pro-active and cost-centric solution to our growth. Our model reveals that, rather than opening up new US States, it would be preferential to develop the States in which a myriad of contracts are already in place. This simple, but cost aware approach, will provide both better margins for our Exclusive Agents and a stronger bond between our customers and our corporate office. In addition to this, we are launching our new VPN (Virtual Private Network) in January 2011 and new WEB enabled enhancements in Spring 2011 to better serve both our present sales force and our customers directly. We have an exclusive “member only” portal where programs can be accessed, as well as the supporting guides and reference materials.

Beyond these new enhancements we have recently contracted with reinsurers to develop and design exclusive programs and will offer a dedicated marketing and delivery system. Of course, we work with the nations leading A-rated carriers, reinsurers and program administrators to bring to our group cost effective programs to benefit our members and our customers.

New Markets / New Opportunities

Connect is developing proprietary specialty products and exclusive programs to specific niche markets. Connect will provide new elements of value to our member agents.

Connect has recently entered into our first national agreement with a premium finance company. Connect is providing opportunities to our agents that benefit them directly in both cash flow and premium enhancements.

Sustainable Growth

The Connect Professional Plaza will give our agents a new home from which to expand our growing business. We have signed two new agent groups with over 8,000 Independent Agents that will handle our product mix. Life & Health and Property & Casualty Insurance require consistent training in the legal, administrative and policy fields. One of the reasons that we are moving to our new facilities is to create an environment by which our nationwide agent network will be able to be schooled in the ever changing world of insurance requirements.

The Palm Beaches are considered one of the East Coasts premier travel destinations. The sunny skies and miles of beaches are a draw to our agents and their families. Many agents are thrilled with the opportunity to enjoy the lovely weather and the myriad family adventures within minutes from The Connect Professional Plaza. Since happy agents are often more productive agents, Connect creates a strong alliance and a “family value” to our ever-growing network nationally. A couple of days of training, interspersed with an enjoyable vacation, grows strong bonds on both business and inter-personal levels. Connect is a “natural” way to provide an agent a way to both grow their commissions and increase their value to the communities in which they live and work. Beyond our better-value proposition we are creating a strong team of dedicated individuals who, you caould say, are “Connecting great products with great people”. It is this understanding of basic human needs and desires that has provided us a base in which to expand our business throughout the US. We are poised to be one of the largest alliances of agents nationally.

Connecting Partner Companies

Connect has partnerships with a number of leading insurance companies.

These relationships a successful and stable platform on which the growth of our business depends.

Connect Partner Companies benefit through rapid premium growth and profitability.

Beyond this, Connect Partner Companies are directly benefited by our extensive due diligence process which determines whether or not an Agency will be accepted into a Master Agency.

At a minimum this process includes:

• A complete review of the prior two years Company
• Full Credit reports personally and on the agency
• A lengthy interview with company marketing reps in the area
• Personal references
