Florida blue cutting commissions

[Medicare bro]

there must be a lot of new agents here.

12 years ago, a lot of smaller regional and local carriers didn't pay FMV, and you had to wait 3 months before you got your commission.

Many plans also pro-rated the initial commission back in the day, so you rarely got the "full commission".

Non-commissionable plans have always been a thing.

dental, vision and OTC were gimmickee add-on benefits (even more so than they are today).

10 years ago we went through a hard market as well. dozens of local carriers went into receivership and/or were bought up by the big guys. This will probably happen again over the next 12 months.

All joking aside, If you are stressing out about this you should exit the business now. It's happened before, its happening now, and it will happen again. If you cannot handle the economic cycles go get a "safe" W2 job at your local post office.

Trump wants to shut that down too. Haha
