With Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service from Vertafore, carriers gain a streamlined, agent-friendly experience that helps new producers start selling faster, keeps compliance front and center, and strengthens the carrier–agent relationship from day one.

The onboarding & self-service imperative
Onboarding is the agent’s first operational experience with a carrier. How quickly and cleanly they get set up signals how modern and partner-friendly you are.
In the modern insurance landscape, self-service has become table stakes; the latest research shows that agents expect digital portals, status visibility, and fast turnaround. Carriers that modernize onboarding not only improve agent experience but also accelerate time to revenue, reduce manual errors, and establish a strong foundation for long-term partnerships. With Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service, carriers can address modern agent expectations and provide a seamless transition from startup to selling.
