The reality

Your platform is eating your time.

The average specialty commercial producer loses 11 hours a week to administrative work that has nothing to do with clients. Certificate requests. Coverage confirmations. Carrier follow-ups. Renewal prep that should be automated but isn’t.

Most brokerages know this. They just haven’t fixed it because fixing it requires rebuilding the infrastructure from the ground up. We did.

How we’re built differently

Automated back office

Our back office handles certificates, policy docs, carrier communications, and client confirmations automatically. No ticket queue. No waiting on someone else’s to-do list. Your clients get answers before they finish typing the question.

Relationship-first culture

We recruit producers who build real client relationships, not transactional volume. Your book is yours. Your clients know your name. We’re selective by design. This is a team of serious specialty producers, not a headcount game.

Economics that reflect your value

Competitive commission splits and Profits Interest Units with real exit upside. You see exactly what you earned, every month, with no complicated tiers or mystery holdbacks obscuring the math.

Who we recruit

Specialists are the future. Generalists are getting squeezed out.

Technology is compressing margins everywhere a generalist plays. AI can commoditize coverage quoting, client communication, and renewal management. What it cannot replace is deep domain expertise: the producer who knows exactly which carriers will write a last-mile delivery fleet, or what an autonomous vehicle program actually needs in a policy form. That producer is a Vector.

The commoditization problem

A generalist producer’s edge is relationships and responsiveness. Both are being eroded by digital platforms, by direct-to-carrier portals, and now by AI that can answer coverage questions faster than any human. The value prop narrows every year.

The specialist advantage

A specialist’s edge is irreplaceable. If you know construction wrap-up programs, trucking MCS-90 compliance, or shared economy liability inside and out, no platform displaces you. Your clients need your judgment, not just your carrier access. That expertise compounds over time.

Target verticals: these and more

  • ConstructionWrap-up programs, contractors E&O, builder’s risk, surety
  • TruckingMCS-90, cargo, fleet, owner-operators, long-haul liability

  • Franchise SystemsMaster policy programs, franchisee GL, umbrella, D&O
  • And many moreEquine, cannabis, event liability, pro sports, watercraft, religious institutions, vacant property, and beyond

If your book is built around one of these verticals, or you’ve carved out a niche that isn’t on this list, we want to talk. Vector is being built around producers who own a specialty, not producers who cover everything.

The back office

You sell. We run the back office.

Vector runs one back office for every producer: a team of people and the technology behind them. Everything that comes in is routed to the right hands, worked in order of urgency, filed where it belongs and brought back to you when it matters. Your time goes to clients, not admin.

See it in action

Nothing waits.

Requests are picked up the moment they arrive and worked in order of urgency, not in the order someone happened to notice them.

Nothing gets lost.

Every conversation and document stays with the client it belongs to, and comes back to you before a date can slip.

You keep the client and the judgment calls.

The relationship stays yours. We bring you the decisions that need a producer and take care of the rest.

See it in action

Your back office runs itself. Watch it.

Three tasks that used to burn hours each week. Now they’re done before you look up from your desk.
