Five Star Agency Designation
The Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents (MAIA) awards the Five Star Agency Designation to independent insurance agencies that demonstrate excellence across five key imperatives:
⭐ Customer Focus
⭐ Management & Leadership
⭐ Human Resources
⭐ Product & Process
⭐ Future Success Initiatives
Completing the Five Star review reflects an agency’s commitment to continuous improvement and operating at the highest level in the industry.
The review is an in-depth, multi-day process conducted by MAIA’s trained consultants and includes confidential interviews with agency staff, an evaluation of 17 quality criteria, and a detailed analysis of organizational strengths and opportunities for improvement. Agencies that achieve a score of 700 points or more on MAIA’s strict grading scale earn the Five Star Agency Designation.
Risman Insurance Agencies is proud to have earned this designation, recognizing our ongoing commitment to client service, operational performance, and agency excellence. Five Star agencies must complete a renewal review every three years to maintain the designation.
IIABA’s Best Practices Agency
Risman Insurance Agencies is recognized as a Best Practices Agency by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA). This national program, conducted in partnership with Reagan Consulting, identifies top-performing independent insurance agencies across the United States based on operational excellence, financial stability, growth, and overall business performance.
To be considered, agencies must first be nominated by carriers, state associations, or through a self-nomination process with references. Nominated agencies are then invited to participate and must submit detailed financial, operational, and management data. Submissions are scored objectively, and the highest-performing agencies within each revenue category earn the Best Practices designation.
The Best Practices Study has been conducted annually since 1993 and provides industry benchmarks on productivity, growth, profitability, and organizational effectiveness. Participants receive a performance analysis from Reagan Consulting and gain access to education sessions, networking opportunities, and national recognition in Big “I” publications.
