What IMO's run their contracts thru OLA. Give examples please

You would be better off getting a list of who does not. Much shorter list.

But I have to agree with Dojo on this one. It's funny to watch people bash how bad One Life, NAA, Amerilife, etc. are when they are actually contracted under those agencies and aren't aware of it.

FexContracting Agents are NOT under One Life with anything. But I would have to think we are one of a very small group. Most agencies have at least a couple of contracts under them. BUT there is a huge difference in having your Upline with a brokerage contract under them or anyone else compared to being one of their semi captive agents with everything under them.

I do agree with DOJO that sometimes your upline will have contract under let's say Amerilife. BUt was never aware that OLA was on that level

They are smaller than Amerilife. But are well represented on this forum. From many of the recommendations you have made often on this forum, I assumed you had contracts under them. Could be wrong. That's what I get for assuming.

Anyone know what kind of volume One Life and Amerilife do each year in life premium?

Probably in the hundreds of millions.

Almost everyone has their AIG fontract with AmeriLife.

OneLife was sold recently for a lot of money. So they have to be doing a lot.

I do have to say I'm surprised you guys have no contracts under One Life. But I suppose you guys are big enough now that you're going direct?

No idea on One Life but Amerilife is in the billions. They are huge. Everyone else is small by comparison. Then your next tier down would be NAA, Premier, One Life, type agencies. Still very large as far as agencies go. But I thnk Amerilife could buy anyone else with just the spare change in their ash tray. (Do cars still have ash trays?)

OK I'll bite. How so? We seem to be one of a very small group of agencies that have very happy and high producing agents who are making a lot of money. Great relationships with insurance companies. In the #1 spot (of national production) with a couple of companies and in the top three with a couple of others) which is amazing to me with our tiny agent force compared some of our competitors who are 10x the number of agents we have. And we know our strengths and weaknesses. We definitely don't try to be all things to all people. It seems that every agency/builder I talk to is Trying to get to where we are. They all tell me that in those exact words. I'm a little biased of course but I think of us as an American success story. David competing against a LOT of Goliath's.

So what's the joke?

Can't stress how much Alvin from Trinity or other carriers literally praise Scott and Travis lol.

Nope no One Life. Not that their NMO division isn't just as good as anywhere else. It's their semi-captive division that seems to get most of the bad press. And who knows if that stuff is even true anymore.

But we have always been direct from day one with our main companies. Our secondary companies we have always leveraged higher contracts through other agencies just like everyone else does. We've just been very open about it.

Yeah, at least around here they are called windows. And they only work at stop lights so I can enjoy the smoke as well
