Independent life insurance professionals join American Classic Agency (ACA) because of the lucrative compensation (payouts start at 50%), ability to work part time without sales quotas, and choice to recruit, sell, or do both. They stay (average tenure is 15 years) and thrive at ACA, because of the training, back-office support, and community of successful agents to lean on. ACA Founder Jerry Poli
castro believes, “Nothing is more empowering than entrepreneurship.” He launched the Jacksonville, FL-based independent marketing organization in 1995 to support life insurance professionals determined to build financial legacies for their clients, and for their own families. Legacy of leadership
When Jerry retired in 2018, he made two longtime ACA agent leaders and two home office executives co-owners of the company. With the transition of leadership, ACA is now one of the industry’s largest independent marketing organizations with a very blended and diverse sales force. Today President Anthony Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer Tony Brown, and Senior Vice President Pam Percival are building on Jerry’s legacy, with an eye toward the future. They are committed to recruiting, developing, retaining, and promoting the next generation of industry-leading entrepreneurs.
