Progressive Insurance began in 1937 when Joseph Lewis and Jack Green set out to insure drivers that other companies ignored. From the start, the company built its edge through innovation: drive-in claims centers, safe-driver discounts, and later, online rate comparisons that made pricing transparent. Under Peter Lewis’s leadership, Progressive doubled down on experimentation, technology, and bold marketing, eventually introducing telematics and the well-known “Snapshot” program.Today, Progressive is the third-largest auto insurer in the U.S., consistently profitable, and admired for staying ahead of industry trends. Its story shows how serving overlooked customers, embracing transparency, and fostering a culture of innovation can turn a niche player into a market leader.Independent agents need ways to grow revenue without adding complexity. That’s what SmallGiant delivers. It’s not insurance—it’s a membership you can offer your clients that covers towing, rental cars, and glass repairs outside the insurance system. Your clients stay protected, their records stay clean, and you get 100% of the first month’s commission plus ongoing revenue. No quotas, no extra paperwork—just a simple way to add value for clients and income for your agency.
