Agents are torn between doing what is right by their clients and keeping their agent contracts in good standing. Every year we have agents who move substantial, if not all, of their clients from one carrier to another. Naturally this angers the losing company and they are within their legal rights to TERMINATE the agent's contract. Agents call us freaked out that they were getting their clients a better plan and they should not be terminated for doing the right thing! But carriers can terminate an agent with 30 days notice without reason - and they do! Tread lightly, because not only do they terminate agents for this, they bar them from ever re-contracting.
