Real accounts. Real agents. Real money.

You know that feeling when somebody wins the lottery and you think, “That could be me?” This is that — but for insurance agents.

Every account on this list came through Momentum Edge. A real agent claimed a real referral, made the call, and wrote a deal that changed the math for their agency. Some of these are the kind of big fish stories you tell at every conference for the next ten years. Some are quiet wins that just quietly paid for years of subscription costs in a single bind.

We’re counting them down from #10 to #1. The biggest deal ever written on Momentum Edge is at the bottom. You’ll want to scroll.

But first — a quick disclaimer. Every number below came straight from the agent who said it, in a recorded interview, in their own words. We didn’t round up. We didn’t guess. These are the real quotes, from real people, talking about real accounts. Results like these aren’t guaranteed — but they’re also not made up.

Now let’s get into it.

#10 — Corbin Norton, South Carolina

$87,000 in premium

Corbin Norton claimed a housing development referral through Momentum Edge.

He made the call. He wrote the account. Then the client renewed.

Two years later, that account is still on the books.

One referral. $87,000 in premium. A client that kept paying.

#9 — Eric Bienzle, Colorado

$90,000 in premium

Eric Bienzle claimed one commercial referral through Momentum Edge.

That single account turned into $90,000 in premium — and about $9,000 in annual revenue every year it renews.

That’s the kind of account that does not just pay for itself once. It keeps doing it.

#8 — Ben Klesinger, Indiana

$90,000 in premium

Ben Klesinger and his team at Reliant Insurance Group wrote a $90,000 account from a single Claim-it referral.

When they ran the numbers, their return on the program came out to 600%.

They spent around $6,000 on leads. They made back more than $35,000.

That is the math agents are looking for.

#7 — Kenny Branch, Illinois

$100,000 in premium

Kenny Branch, Vice President at Arial Insurance Group, has been in the program for years.

His largest single account from Momentum Edge came in at $100,000 in premium.

His take?

“The ROI is through the roof. Not everything works — and this is something that works.”

Short. Direct. Hard to argue with.

#6 — John Brittain, California

Over $100,000 in premium

John Brittain of Brittain Insurance Services has written multiple six-figure accounts through the program.

His largest account came in at over $100,000 in premium.

And he summed up the value of Momentum Edge pretty simply:

“It’s the one bill I get every month that I’m happy to pay — because I know I’m making money off of it.”

That is what a good growth channel should feel like.

#5 — Eli Gillespie, California

$115,000 in premium

Eli Gillespie of Gillespie Insurance Services wrote a trade contractor account from one referral.

The premium: $115,000.

Big enough to land in the top five all-time Momentum Edge accounts.

And for what it’s worth, his second-biggest account did not even make this list.

#4 — Jon McKinney, Missouri

$132,000 in premium

Jon McKinney of GLS Insurance Group claimed a large nonprofit referral through the Claim-it program.

He wrote the account.

The result?

“It ended up being about $132,000 in premium and approximately $17 grand in revenue from that sale.”

One referral. $17,000 in revenue to the agency.

That is not just activity. That is production.

#3 — Cameron Steele, Nevada

$150,000 in premium

Cameron Steele has been with Momentum Edge for eight years.

His largest single account came from a client with multiple commercial and residential properties.

“I believe totaling in probably $150,000 in premium — that we were able to secure.”

Eight years in the program. Still active. Still writing accounts like this.

That says a lot.

#2 — Ed Santos, New Jersey

$400,000 in premium

Ed Santos of Partners Agency & Associates had a client come through the consumer website.

He worked the relationship. The account grew.

Eventually, it became something much bigger.

“[One] client evolved from [Momentum Edge], and that became a $400,000 premium account for us.”

That is not just a lead.

That is a career account.

#1 — Nathan Breece, Pennsylvania

$600,000 in premium

The biggest single account ever reported to Momentum Edge came from Nathan Breece of America Insurance Agency Inc.

He wrote a $600,000 account through the program.

When asked about his ROI, he said 10,000%.

And even without that account?

“Even without that one account, I’ve doubled my money from what I’ve put in.”

$600,000 in premium.

That is the current record.

We say “current” because there are probably bigger ones out there. Agents do not always tell us. But if you have written something like this through Momentum Edge, we want to hear about it.
