# Insurance Agent Compensation Structures: What Recruits Actually Want

## TL;DR

Top producers evaluate total compensation — commissions plus leads, technology, support, and growth path.

## Key data points

- Technology and lead support add $1,600+/month beyond commission splits

Top producers evaluate total compensation — not just splits.

## What Top Producers Evaluate

1. Base commission (table stakes)
2. Lead support ($500–$2,000/month value)
3. Technology platform ($200–$500/month value)
4. Back-office support (licensing, compliance, case management)
5. Growth path (overrides, leadership, equity)

Present total package value, not just commission percentages. An agent earning $8,000 in commissions plus $1,600 in technology and lead support value outearns a competitor offering higher splits with no support.
