Maryland Agency Success Story – Jerry Nicklow

"I feel [being recognized on TrustedChoice.com] is important because it puts us at that level where we stand out."

Pasadena, MD

“We wrote like a $60,000 transportation account, so right out of the gate we knew it was going to pay for itself for several years, so that was very encouraging. On average, we probably write about $50,000 to $75,000 in premium a year from the leads directly coming from TrustedChoice.com.”

“Our traffic has increased… we’ve started taking some advice from the folks at TrustedChoice[.com]… adding video and doing other things as well, so in the last 4 years our traffic definitely, it’s probably tripled.”
