Gadal Strategies · Independent P&C Agency Peer Groups
Stop Running Your Agency
in Isolation.
A peer group, a growth framework, and a practical AI roadmap — built specifically for independent P&C insurance agency owners who are done figuring it out alone.
The Problem with Running an Agency Alone
Independent P&C agency owners are some of the most capable businesspeople in the industry — and some of the most isolated. You're competing against captive agencies, InsureTech startups, and national brokers, making critical decisions about carriers, producers, pricing, and growth without anyone who actually understands your business to pressure-test your thinking.
Every Decision Is Made in a Vacuum
Should you appoint that new carrier? Hire that producer? Change your comp structure? You're making decisions that affect your entire book — and livelihood — without a peer who has faced the same crossroads.
Growth Plateaus Are Hard to Diagnose
You were growing. Then you weren't. The book is solid but it's not moving. You can't always see your own constraints from inside the agency — and consultants who don't know P&C can't help you find them.
Producer Recruiting and Retention Is a Constant Problem
Finding good producers, onboarding them effectively, and keeping them long enough to be profitable is one of the hardest operational problems in independent agencies — and it's almost never discussed openly.
The Industry Is Changing Faster Than Your Agency
AI tools, InsureTech disruption, direct-to-consumer carriers, and shifting client expectations are reshaping the industry. The agencies that adapt fastest will win. Most are too busy running the day-to-day to build a strategy for it.
Three Programs. One Direction.
Whether your biggest need is community and accountability, a proven growth framework, or a practical AI strategy — we have a program built specifically for independent P&C agency owners.

- Client communication and follow-up automation
- Data security and compliance vetting
Built for Independent P&C Agency Owners
We don't work with captive agents. We don't work with national brokers. We work exclusively with independent P&C agency owners — because the challenges of market access, carrier relationships, and book ownership are fundamentally different, and generic business advice doesn't cut it.
Independent P&C Agencies
Any independent agency owner with an established book of business looking to grow, optimize, and future-proof their operation against industry disruption.

See Your Roadmap →Common Questions
Are agencies in the same market in the same group?
Never. Every group is structured so no two members compete in overlapping markets or lines of business. The point is open, honest sharing — and that only works when members aren't competing with each other for the same clients or carriers.
Do I have to participate in all three programs?
No. The peer group, Agency Growth Blueprint, and AI program are available independently. Most members start with the peer group and add a program when a specific need becomes the clear priority. We'll help you figure out the right starting point in your application conversation.
How are peer groups facilitated?
Each monthly session is 2 hours, structured and facilitated — not a free-form conversation that drifts. Every member brings a specific topic or decision for group input. Sessions include structured accountability check-ins, hot seat problem-solving, and shared intelligence on carriers, markets, and operations.
What size agency is the right fit?
We work with independent P&C agencies at any revenue stage — from owner-operators building their book to established agencies with multiple producers and support staff. What matters more than size is mindset: you're here to grow, to share honestly, and to hold yourself accountable to the targets you set.
Is this virtual or in-person?
Monthly peer group sessions are conducted virtually to ensure members from any geography can participate consistently. In-person events are offered through Gadal Strategies' Strategies, Sticks and Stones networking events — check availability for your market.
