Follow the Same Playbook Used to Grow Our Agency to $40MM in Just 7 Years

Follow the Same Playbook Used to Grow Our Agency to $40MM in Just 7 Years Darkhorse founder, Dan Garzella, left a successful Farmer’s agency he had spent 10 years building to start from scratch. Through trial and error, Dan built a system that crushed any carrier or independent brokerage model in existence. After only seven years, Garzella Group had grown to $40MM. Dan quickly realized he could help other ambitious agents do the exact same thing – and Darkhorse was born.

How Darkhorse Compares

Using data from Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, Garzella Group found that the Darkhorse model yielded a significantly higher growth in net commissions year after year.

Sales velocity was also found to be significantly higher than industry averages (and even top industry performance).
