The company has once again been recognized as a Best Practices Agency for 2026, earning a place among an exclusive group of independent insurance agencies nationwide. In addition, SSP received the distinguished “Top Performer” designation, recognizing it as the highest-performing agency in its revenue category. The Best Practices Agency designation is awarded to participants in the Best Practices Study, a comprehensive analysis of the business operations and performance of the insurance industry’s top-performing independent agencies. Out of 1,190 independent insurance agencies nominated, only 300 within the United States qualified for and maintained their Best Practices Agency designation.

Each year, Dowling Hales ranks the top 100 commercial-focused agents and brokers in the United States. Based on 2025 revenue, the “Hales Top 100” U.S. agents and broker composite grew 5% year-on-year to represent $85B of aggregate revenue. SSP is included at number 49, reflecting 9.3 percent growth from 2024 to 2025.
