FE AGENT IN GEORGIA STRUGGLING NEED HELP PLEASE

FEX is very unique in that we don't want a million agents. We want to be the best place in the world for selling agents "not multi-level recruiters". We are much more of a boutique agency than any of the agencies that you see heavily advertised.

As far as getting new agents we do very limited direct mail a few times per year. Everything else (and most of our agents) have come from referrals from current agents, our website and many learn about us through this forum. Referrals from the insurance carriers is a pretty good resource also but those are completely unfiltered. The referrals from current agents are much higher caliber.

We have never actively recruited. Never emailed, telemarketed, or stalked forums with private messages. Many would say I've stalked forums with open messages. But My participation on the Insurance forum was the same back when I was just a selling agent and after creating FEX. Anyone that contacted us had to proactively do it. We never contact anyone unsolicited.

I think the passive recruiting and being very selective on who we accept has been a huge factor in our quality of agents. It's not a model for rapid growth. But we have grown larger and faster than I ever wanted to.


Well this approach has been working so.. why change it? You get to be picky with whom you open the doors to as agents - you've outlined the pay structure - who get's what and when.. all is open and fair,

There isn't someone who's going to try and spoil an account by being underhanded just to make his 'mlm company numbers. 'work" - you no..?

Tell me wher I'm wrong. Tell me how other agency's want you to change the set up -- why?

I'm not sure I understand your question. No one is trying to change anything.

Aside from my poor spelling and not not being able to explain my thoughts very well.. I was basically saying Fex seems to have a business model superior to that of a MLM structure.

Some recruiters have PM'd me in the past claiming having a downline builds your residual income stream which in turn makes the industry more profitable for you - the agent. I guess that's a reason some have fled Fex in the past - lack of business building opportunity. I don't know.

Agents have fled FEX?


If they have it had nothing to do with a lack of marketer, oh excuse me, the word of the month is "builder":D, opportunities.

There are some agents with FEX that have a downline. The number 1 producer at FEX is under another FEX agent.

You know why you are getting those idiotic stories by PM? Because they can't stand the light.

"Builders" recruiting agent to do what the "builder" can't do. I suppose they are then going to train them to do what they can't do?
 
If you hire good agents it does create good residual income...sort of. Depends. Could easily backfire and isn't as easy as that recruiter was making it to be.
If you are going to recruit, then you need to be recruiting "big time".. If it is just something you do as an afterthought, signing up the easy ones, you are setting yourself up for a disaster.. One bad agent can hang you with enough charge-backs to eat up the override on a half dozen (or more) agents. Those that promote "building" seldom tell that side of the story. They also don't tell you the reason they love for you to recruit is that way you stand between them and the agent charge-backs..

Our model is very attractive to selling agents. And it's worked very well for us because we aren't babysitting mass armies of recruits. We can focus on the producers and smaller numbers of greenhorns.

It's not going to be the easiest place for middlemen recruiters. We've got great lead programs. High commission levels for every new agent. And advanced training from Tubbs. Plus a lot of attractive extras. It's hard for a middle man to add additional value. Some do on a regional basis. But most of our agents just want to sell and make a lot of money.
 
Late to the game here, but a "lead is always just a lead". Have you tried cold knocking a names list? Ages 50 to 75 with an income range from 15K to 40K annualy.
