What do you have to do?  MarshBerry’s FirstChoice program pays the highest carrier commissions available and as long as your agency remains a member in good standing with PIA Texas, you can participate in lucrative FirstChoice profit sharing benefits. 

What is this going to cost my agency?  As a PIA Texas member, your agency’s membership dues will be covered by the FirstChoice program.

The FirstChoice program is $500 per month and includes all of MarshBerry’s extensive services. The enhanced profit sharing revenue, bonuses and overrides will easily pay for the FirstChoice monthly fee. It will add additional profit and increase the value of your agency.

What does that mean exactly for new and current PIA Texas members?  By virtue of signing up for the FirstChoice program, new members joining PIA Texas will see their dues benefit immediately.  Existing members will also enjoy this dues benefit effective upon their next renewal.
