Madison, WI – M3 Insurance is one of only 217 insurance agencies from across the country to be named a 2015 Best Practices Agency. More than 1,100 agencies were nominated.

Requirements for being named a Best Practices Agency include nomination by either an Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) affiliated state association or an insurance company, and qualification based on outstanding customer retention, growth, stability and financial management.
Nominated agencies have to be among the 35-45 top-performing agencies in one of six revenue categories
to be chosen.

Each year since 1993, IIABA and Reagan Consulting, Inc., Atlanta, join forces to conduct the Best Practices Study, with the purpose of documenting the business practices of “best” agencies and urging others to
adopt similar practices. The agencies comprising the study groups are selected every third year. The selected Best Practices agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review each year. The 2015 Best Practices Study Update completes the
2013-2015 cycle.
