Our company philosophy and a message from our founder and CEO, Bo Peng

I founded Penguin Insurance Services to provide those tools and opportunities that seemed to be lacking when I began my career. Accordingly, my mission is to support new and experienced agents by facilitating direct access to multiple markets. Together, we achieve that mission under an affiliation agreement that enables the agent to enjoy ownership of the business that he or she writes. Moreover, I seek to help our agents leverage group production as a means of maximizing commissions and bonuses.

In short, my team and I will provide the support necessary for you to achieve true financial independence as a Penguin affiliate. You may think of me as your “battle buddy” in the trenches of the combat theater we call “the insurance market.”

Penguin’s philosophy of a dynamic teamwork based on common goals translates into shared commissions and performance-based bonuses. The compensation structure under the affiliation relationship is designed to foster an interdependence of financial interests. We seek to share the goals, rewards, and burdens of our affiliate agents. Insurance can be a lonely business unless you belong to a team. My corporate staff (your support team) and your fellow affiliates will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you through the joys of success and the frustrations of the inevitable setback. Our full complement of support services is extensive and will help you work more easily and efficiently.

As an agent/broker, you will not find yourself in competition against other affiliates. We have devised a system whereby you will benefit from the success of your fellow agents and the entire Penguin team. Each agent contributes to the success of the team and receives in return the stability, leverage, earnings, and prosperity that only a team effort can command.

We will earn and maintain your trust through openness, fairness, and the absence of a long-term contract. Penguin fully discloses all commission schedules and bonus arrangements. This transparency is only right and logical given that each agent may expect a share of earnings and bonuses proportionate to his or her contribution to the success of the team.

We hope you find value in our vision, and we look forward to welcoming you to our team.

Penguin’s Promise to You

• We promise to treat each member with fairness and respect.
• We promise to train and support your brokerage to best of our ability and knowledge, and help you succeed.
• We promise to listen attentively to your feedback and to improve our services accordingly.
• Most of all, we promise to treat you like a valued teammate and not a number. We promise to cherish the unique qualities and added diversity you bring to Penguin Insurance Services.

Founder and CEO
