Thank you for visiting, my name is Drew Gurley and I’m the Founder of Redbird. Below will explain how Redbird works and most importantly, what’s in it for you.
Our team is focused on improving the customer experience in healthcare and financial services, and we accomplish this by partnering with independent insurance agencies, financial advisory firms, and individual producers.
If you’re offering any of the services listed below, the Redbird Network will be a great fit for you.
- Insurance (life, health, property or casualty)
- Retirement Planning (annuities or investments)
- Medicare
We work with hundreds of independent financial services and healthcare companies across the country and the common factor in our growth is our ability to build and maintain relationships with our partners.
When you love what you do and you’re surrounded by great people, it makes selling and driving revenue an easier task.
How it Works
It’s simple!
We have an enormous number of services and resources that we have built over the years, and we’re opening those to you and your agency.
We place agencies, agents, and advisors with the right resources and opportunities to get the job done.
For example, maybe you’re a financial advisor and needing an extremely complex case design created. Or, you’re an insurance agent and have a client with some significant health conditions and need a life insurance company that will accept them. Or, you own a Medicare agency and you’re trying to figure out how to get additional marketing support from the carriers you’re currently selling.
Our incredibly vast network of resources becomes YOUR network of resources.
Why would we do this?
Because it’s the right thing to do and a big missing piece in the industry. I get asked all the time why we give so much free content and training away and my response is always the same…because it helps people drive success faster!
Redbird Benefits At a Glance
Below are just some of the many great reasons agencies and agents love partnering with us.
- Marketing reimbursement programs (co-op dollars). We’re always going to bat for you to figure out how to help you fund the projects that drive production.
- Advanced market analytics and insights. This is incredibly helpful for the sophisticated producer working with business owners and high net worth individuals. Our team leader Scott is the best in the industry for this and a highly sought after speaker and trainer for many of the biggest carriers.
- Strategic partnership programs (partner with physicians, funeral homes, churches, and school districts). Our physician marketing program is phenomenal and our team leader is amazing to work with.
- Marketing support (content development, SEO guidance, lead generation, etc…)
- Content library for training. Our content library is robust and extremely detailed. A lot of it is already available through the Learning Center at the top of the page, but we have an entire library of unpublished materials for our members.
- Advanced case design
- Keyman, BuySell, and Business Succession Planning
- Foreign national case design
- COLI / BOLI
- Full quoting team and case management team. I can’t say enough great things about the internal team that makes this engine run. We have some of the brightest mind in the insurance and financial services industry supporting you every step of the way.
- 24/7 access to our back office portal. This allows you to run quotes, see your cases, and request help 24 hours a day.

I’m interested in joining the Redbird Independent Agent Network!
This is not a trick question: Who would you rather work with?
- One person who knows a little, or
- A team of people who know a lot?
Take your time and do your research before choosing a place to call home.
If you’re out trolling for another five points, then “Choice 1” might be your best choice, really. If that’s all you want, we can point you in the right direction. But I’ll be honest, we’re looking to build lasting relationships with the right partners.
We’ll never say we’re a fit for everyone, and that’s okay.
