The concept of SIAA began in 1983 with the creation of the first master agency - Satellite Agency Network Group (SAN Group) by Jim Masiello, Owner of the Masiello Agency in Keene, NH. Smaller independent agencies kept running into roadblocks because of their size, low commissions, and access to competitive companies. The idea was to create a master agency to provide company access and other services to help grow these agencies - profitably.
In 1995, SAN Group had reached 83 members agencies writing $68 million in premium. It was giving smaller member agencies an opportunity to get company appointment and to grow. Insurance executive and consultants encouraged SAN Group to repeat this success on a national level. A pilot program was created which became SIAA.

One thing we have learned over the past decade is that everyone has a different starting place and therefore different immediate needs.
As a part of engaging in a new venture we co-tailor a business plan encompassing carrier selection, automation systems, process and procedure, pipeline management, goal setting, and digital footprint.
