Selling for Multiple IMO/FMO'S

Sorry for acting so stupid. I'm new to insurance sales (FE is my main interest). 30 years in sales mgmt in the car business. My question is , is it ok and legal to sign with more than one IMO?

I'm in CT. What would any of the pros on here recommend to work with?

Thank you for any help.

You can sign with more than one as long as they are not captive. Not a problem as long as they offer releases to put all with one.

Sure you can sign on with 10 IMOs, it is your business although I would recommend sending the majority of your production to one IMO.

Personally, I feel the opposite. I like to spread it around...don't like to put all my eggs in one basket. That way if things go south with an IMO...no big deal.

Why do you recommend sending the majority of your production to one IMO?

Why would you recommend 360 over other IMO's you've been associated with?

I Cant speak for JG. The reason for sending most of your buisness to one IMO.

1. For some reason the deserve it, the treat you better, trained you, whatever
2. I believe it makes it easier for them, and more likely, to increase your contract level.
 
Anyone familiar with SMS? I know there is a lot of SMS's but the one I'm referring to is Senior
Marketing Specialists. They seem to have a ton of carriers, and also do Medicare Supplements, which intrigues me. The only problem is they
seem like everything I'm looking for.......almost too good to be true, which of course.... we all know where that leads.

Thanks for any help. This is a great place to pick up tips, some knowledge and occasional entertainment ?

Loyalty means a lot to me. Loyalty's a two way street. With that being said, I've spent half of my 34 years in the insurance business with a captive company, and saw first hand how they repaid loyalty to long time agents and Branch Managers. Loyalty meant nothing to them.

I've seen what loyalty got JG and Gooner in their public break ups. They both defended and promoted their former IMO right to the end. JG even had a link to his former IMO in his signature for a long time. With both of them that the appreciation was gone in the blink of an eye. Even though they got released, they still had to go through the hassle of the extra paperwork of moving from one to another.

1. If they give you a little training, should you be beholding to them forever?
As far as treating you better...shouldn't they treat you good anyway?

2. I can see being offered more to put all your business with them, but I'll bet that in most cases you can get a bump by just asking.

I have good relationships with several IMO's, but in the end, my loyalty is to me and my family first. To each his own, but I want to be as independent as I can...and I am.

They seem like a good one to use. I wouldn't be afraid to use them. A former mod on this Forum went to work for them doing webinars. They have about the best website of any IMO. I don't have anything with them...no particular reason. I guess the timing was never right. I did have Lincoln Heritage Med Supps with them years ago.

I think you know what I am going to say...

1. 360 Financial Group has access to a KILLER $26 Direct Mail Lead

2. Added to Street Level and Above Contracts

This combination has put me in the position to MAXIMIZE my production and Income Level

NOONE has come even close to being able to provide ME with THIS

For this, I would be an *** to spread my contracts among other IMO's:swoon:

My income level has EXPLODED thanks to 360 Financial Group

I challenge ANYONE to do better for me than what I have with 360.
