Throughout July, AIP Marketing Alliance is launching the “Don’t Miss the Boat” series. Our team doesn’t want independent wholesalers and agents to miss out on the opportunity to grow their business, retain their valued agents, and access the carriers, products, and resources that could lead to much success. We are here to help you #STRIVEin25!

Do you remember the star-studded TV show, “The Love Boat?” Maybe you have heard the theme song resonating during a commercial on ME TV as the reruns on Sundays at 5 p.m.

“The love boat soon will be making another run, the love boat promises something for everyone, set a course for adventure…”

Some of you may not remember the lyrics, but you remember the people. Captain Merril Stubing, Doctor Adam Bricker. Yeoman Purser Gopher Smith. Bartender Isaac Washington. Cruise Director Julie McCoy. Even Vicki Stubing and Ace Covington Evans if you want to dig really deep into the show. Who doesn’t remember Isaac pointing his fingers toward you with that smile during the opening credits?

AIP Marketing Alliance is throwing The Love Boat references out there in this week’s Don’t Miss the Boat segment for multiple reasons. Like the theme song, AIPMA promises something for everyone with multiple products, resources, services, and technology for independent wholesalers and agents nationwide.

The song also references how “it’s an open smile on a friendly shore.” AIPMA’s culture starts at the top and flows downstream to all our managers and employees as we believe in a professional, fun-loving culture focused on building relationships with our downline wholesalers and agents.

Once you’ve settled in, you’ll get to know a lot of our names as well. President Rick Kisser. Chief Financial Officer Kym Kisser. Vice President of Business Development Chris Howe. Vice President of Marketing and Compliance Officer Darron Markwood. Vice President of New Business & Licensing Alice Spalding.

These experienced managers become your cruise ship directors for questions, answers, resources, and anything else you or your agents need. The rest of AIPMA’s crew also follows in these footsteps by helping with contracting/licensing, following up on applications and new business, creating illustrations for appointments, and even discussing product options for niche clients and prospects.

Our staff also can help you throughout the process including transitioning your current contracts to AIPMA, adding new carriers/products, setting up your personalized agent portal and SureLC contracting (as needed), and connecting all the dots to start you and your agents with AIPMA.

Throughout the onboarding process, AIPMA also will schedule online meetings with the names mentioned above, introduce your dedicated Business Development and Case Management contacts, and align our resources with your launch timeline and business strategy.

Need a demo of myAIP, Business Builder, iPipeline, Annuity Rate Watch, Wink Annuity Specs, Accelerate On-Demand Video Training, or the Dynamic Quoting platform for term life insurance? We have you and your team covered as we want you to STRIVE in ’25 – and build a solid foundation for many years to come.

AIPMA may come off as exciting and new once you get to know us, but there are multiple wholesalers and agents who have leveraged our resources for 20+ years if not more. We believe in building relationships with our downline agencies and agents for many years to come.

What are you waiting for? Come aboard. We're expecting you! We think you will truly love working with AIPMA!
