Evolution: Human-to-Human & B2B
Hi– I’m Pam,
President of Evolution Partners.
I’ve been in the insurance industry since 1992, starting in retail when I owned my own agency. I later moved to the commercial carrier side where I approved or rejected agents seeking direct carrier appointments. Yes, unfortunately, I was the bearer of bad news for many independent agents – which is how I came to realize that the market needed a constructive alternative.
Thus the concept of Evolution Partners was born: a team that is your partner, supporting and developing your business to allow you to grow your sales and profitability.
We’ll help you build the lucrative agency you’ve always dreamed of.
Expansion is difficult to achieve on your own, regardless of the time and effort you invest into your agency. Most carriers require agencies to have a high minimum production goal – plus, you must agree to a substantial ongoing commitment to receive direct appointments.
It’s a frustrating Catch 22 that keeps you from growing.
That’s why we started Evolution Partners. Our team has a profound depth of insurance-related knowledge and well-developed industry relationships connecting you with the resources you need to succeed, grow, and prosper.
We’ll help you build the lucrative agency you’ve always dreamed of.
Pam Meisl
President, Evolution Partners Insurance Marketing
Working with general agencies or wholesalers has its place– they’re needed for many hard-to-place risks. However, when you use them for all risks, you create a book of business where policies aren’t in your name and you don’t control your own book. You give up nearly 50% of your commissions you’ve worked so hard to earn. You don’t get to service your own policies. In short: you have very little say over the results of your own hard work.
Our Team
Pam Meisl, the President of Evolution Partners Insurance Marketing, started in the early 90’s in the Insurance industry, as a retail agent and quickly opened her own independent agency.
After a few short years, she decided to change directions and work on the carrier side, specializing in all aspects of Commercial insurance. This would include, running the Small Business divisions for 2 major insurance carriers, for the next 20 years in the Western region.
After all these years of experience, Ms. Meisl decided to leave the company side and branch off on a new venture, partnering with Eric Magee and Chad Bitterlich to form a unique Exceptional Partnership Program called, “Evolution Partners Insurance Marketing”.
As President of the company, she has helped hundreds of independent agencies evolve and reach new heights. She has connected them with the carrier partners they need, to grow and sustain their success in the marketplace.
Living in Greater Los Angeles area her whole life, she has owned several businesses. Her first professional carrier originally started by helping others as a Certified Hypnotherapist. She continues to help others, but in a completely different industry.
Today she still holds all her insurance licenses and accreditations.
She lives In Los Angeles with her Husband. They have raised 3 grown children, that have also thrived and are living successful fulfilling lives.
Mr. Bitterlich entered the insurance industry as a commercial lines underwriter for a regional excess and surplus lines broker. He then transitioned to a regional insurance carrier as an underwriting manager for personal lines.
In 1998, he returned to commercial lines to build and manage the workers’ compensation division for a regional wholesale broker and managing general agent.
Mr. Bitterlich now brings his underwriting knowledge and diverse insurance industry expertise to the clients of Evolution Partners.
He is a lifetime resident of Southern California and graduate of the University of California, Irvine.
Mr. Magee began his career in the insurance industry with a prominent national carrier while attending the University of California, Los Angeles.
After six years underwriting commercial lines, he transitioned to the agency side of the business where, over 15 years, he cultivated a substantial client base and developed an agency division specializing in closely held, private clients.
Mr. Magee then took the opportunity to act as President of a large, regional wholesale firm where he was responsible for managing the operation’s insurance programs and sizable staff.
He has since returned to the retail segment to work directly with his clients. Mr. Magee is also closely involved with the Center For Insurance Studies at California State University, Fullerton.
