MEET DR. RASHIA BARBEE,FOUNDER OF THE ARISE INSURANCE GROUP

Dr. Rashia N. Barbee is a dynamic Team Leader and founder of The Arise Insurance Group, bringing a wealth of professional experience to the life insurance space.

Before her entrepreneurial journey in the industry, Dr. Barbee forged a successful, 25-year career at Blue Cross Blue Shield, where she excelled in a variety of roles, including Claims Processor, Trainer, Quality Auditor, Business Analyst, and Senior Supervisor. This vast background in corporate operations and compliance provides a powerful foundation for her current role and her deep understanding of the client experience.

Driven by a desire for an entrepreneurial opportunity that offered both financial success and the flexibility to be fully present with her sons during a personal transition, Dr. Barbee entered the life insurance industry and has since achieved accomplishments beyond her imagination, earning a 6-figure income in her first 10 months.

A cornerstone of Dr. Barbee’s practice is her unwavering Servant Leadership philosophy, which centers on empowering and developing the agents on her team.

Leading with more action than words, she prefers her team members see her actively engaged in the work, setting a clear

example of what it takes to succeed.

Her specific approach to mentoring new agents is defined

by two principles: Consistency and Discipline in following the UBI System.

She measures success in the agents she mentors not merely by sales figures, but by their ability to maintain this consistency and perseverance, even amidst daily distractions and challenges.

Dr. Barbee's leadership is defined by a commitment to Integrity, Client-Centricity, and Accountability. Her focus is on making a lifelong impact, viewing her role as an agent for life from the moment a client signs on until the time she serves their family at the time of loss.

Adding to her multifaceted professional life, Dr. Barbee is a bi-vocational pastor, a mother of four sons, a published author, and a certified life recovery coach, demonstrating a genuine and

well-rounded dedication to service in all areas of her life.

Questions, answered

UBI Mid South Agent FAQ

If you don’t see your question here, submit the form and we’ll cover it on your intro call.

Do I need to be licensed to apply?

No. We work with both licensed and unlicensed professionals. If you’re not licensed yet, we’ll walk you through our life prelicensing program, recommend study cadence based on your schedule, and support you up to exam day. If you’re already licensed, we’ll focus on carrier appointments and getting you producing quickly.

What kind of leads do you provide?

We provide a mix of warm, intent-based leads depending on your product focus and territory. The goal is to give you consistent at-bats while we train you on pipeline building, referrals, and long-term book growth. You’ll also have a CRM to track every conversation.

Is this W-2 or 1099 independent contractor?

UBI Mid South agents operate as independent contractors (1099). You keep the flexibility and upside of being independent while getting the infrastructure, coaching, and community you’d expect from a top agency.

What does onboarding look like for experienced agents?

For licensed, producing agents, onboarding is focused on alignment and acceleration: compensation review, carrier lineup, tech/CRM setup, and a 30–60 day production plan. We’ll also plug you into our weekly coaching and strategy calls right away.

Where are you currently onboarding agents?

We focus on the Mid South region with a strong presence in DC, DE, GA, MD, NC, NJ, SC, PA and surrounding markets. Remote and hybrid options are available depending on your role, experience, and state licensing.
