Top 3 FMO's

If I miss anyone I am sorry, there has been too many posts to keep up with. As far as the guy only writing 2k that week, I just want to clear up he was not there to ride with me. He came to where we were to WORK. So he was not in the car riding with me training everyday. I did help him on a few points that will make him money for years to come.

As far as the SNL production website, if I recall I did not see JD or Travis or Newby on that page either. Man those guys must suck and not sell any FE since they are not on that ONE companies website (hope you see the joke in that and not attack me for saying you three suck :) )

As far as the leads and talking about SUCKY (or was it crappy) tele leads...John and Gooner don't you sell leads that are either 22 or 25 per lead for a press one and you pay if the lead is 30 years old or 75? An agent that buys those leads has to be able to sell term because it costs too much and data is too limited to make the data more generic. And if they order 25 leads they actually have to give you 5 counties in order to get their order filled? You talk about an agent driving all over God's country? 5 counties for press ones that are EXTREMELY overpriced seems odd to me. If you want to say this is not true, I can post the entire sales pitch for you to hear.

AARP comment...I really had no idea who posted it, but I remembered it. I was just saying what is the point in posting it if you are not going to share it? You just did that to RECRUIT agents or make FEX look so good. It is the same thing you two do with your leads. I remember a post that said something like. "Hey gooner (or John...cant remember who posted it) can you believe how many leads we produced today. That was crazy" Or something like that. That couldn't have been sent in a text message? NO you were wanting to promote your leads without promoting. Just like the thread John Galt and Gooner knows leads. All I am saying is, if you are selling leads, JUST COME OUT AND POST IT! I can't stand little childish ways of beating around the bush.

As far as me recruiting, every post I make to someone about contracts is as follows:
360
FEX
Todd King
Then the next thing I ask is what state are they in? If they are in Indianna just say, FEX is HANDS DOWN the best IMO I know of for them to go with PERIOD! But lets say they are in Mississippi....Well I am sure I can give them more help and guidance since they are a lot closer to me. Also when people read those posts and call 360, that does not make them go under me. I have had agents call Brad and REQUEST to be with me, and that is the ones I get. The others come from outside sources. Keep in mind I live 5 minutes for ONE LIFE and I also have ties to UNION NATIONAL (Debit company) that I get a lot of agents from. I do not post on this forum to recruit. I see posts all the time where someone asks a question about something. The responses are...If your upline can't answer this maybe you need a new upline. But guess what, when I answer them I just ANSWER THEM!!! That is if I know the answer.

Back to my production...Gooner you strike me as a guy that will really make it far in FE or whatever you pick to do. I have been at this for 7 years now and I have never had an agent under me until Jan 01 2014. So I will say this I am debt free and don't have any bills...I didn't do this in the last 6 months. That was done from my production the last 6 years as a personal producer. Guess what....I have never ever ever seen JD's production, but guess what...I believe he writes business. It is kind of like LH since all I did was give a little advice on one thing I thought would help FEX and then production gets brought up??? I am not bashing FEX! I have no problem with an IMO that gives high contracts and training and a lot more, I AM GRATEFUL! I was just giving a tip and since I have done that, my phone has been blowing up with people telling me they are glad I said it. It was getting old seeing these roundabout posts that really made no sense except to shine light on FEX and get people to call and join up.

Newby I do apologize because you really do help a lot on here, actually more than I think I will ever be able to help. This hasn't been going on for a while but it was just here recently that you could tell it was more of a my **** is bigger than your **** and it got old. I just wanted to bring up the fact that there is probably 50x more people that read this forum than there are that posts here. I just like when an agent asks a question and gets an answer instead of your IMO sucks and you should call me.

John, you told me to not be jealous, I really hate to say this because I in no way try to boast or brag and I am here only to try to help people and it gives me something to do if I get stood up and I am bored in the car...but here it goes. You say I am jealous of FEX...then why have I not released ONE SINGLE AGENT to FEX but have received agents FROM FEX? Please don't ever think I am jealous.

And for the record...I have talked to Travis before and think he is a really great guy (from what I can tell). Newby is a great guy and that goes without saying. I like John Galt and Gooner a LOT! And I have no problem with JD, I just try to ruffle his feathers from time to time because he gets so stern :) I really made an informative post to try to help a couple things and it gets turned around to production? I will tell you this, the guy that asked about my production...I will personally compare with you if you want, but it shouldn't be about that. FEX has a lot to offer and contributes a lot, but there has just been a lot of posts that were (in my opinion) below FEX standards and I was just informing you all. Kind of like the friend that will let you know if you have a booger in your nose or something in your teeth...that is all I was doing.


Ben, they dont write SNL so they would not be on that board. It was being used as an example of you saying SNL was one of your top 3 companies per a conversation you had with Gooner, he will back this up.

Now, onto the leads, post whatever you want about our leads, we have never ever said anything other than what you just said. Other than being overpriced, they are not, considering we got Scott 20 leads in 2 days and another agent 61 leads in 3 days I think you need to re examine your post. And not just that....but tele lead companies usually have data requirements, but you would not know this cause you just subbed your sh*t out of the country. From what ive heard from agents that have used your leads, they may be cheaper but they suck. We are a wide open book on how much our leads cost, what to expect and what to not expect. And to add to this Gooner wrote $13,000 off of 6 appts with "OUR" leads, JD could have written 3 extra policies in KY but he does not write GI. Who cares the cost of the lead....its the ROI!!!! And $22 per lead is not over priced for a good quality lead, Mark Forte (Your Buddy) charges $25 for his telemarketed lead and Ill put ours up against his any day. And Im not arguing about the term comment, sell what you want to, if you are too stupid not to have a carrier that sells whole life from 0-85 that is your fault not ours. Gooner wrote a $750,000 Transamerica Term policy last week off our leads and I have done the same thing to a lesser amount, there are plenty of carriers and I personally feel you need to have more than just FE WL in your bag. Disclaimer: Gooner is in my ear on the phone as I type this and he approves of this message.

So whats it gonna be Ben, me and Gooner busted our ass, spent a ton of money on being able to put together a lead program in house, what did you do...Hire an Asian or Indian call center to generate those leads, man, I bet they are top quality;)
 
I'm not arguing about selling term. But if I want a FE lead and spend $22 for it, I should be able to pick FE ages. Didn't Newby bash 360 DM because you had to mail to 50 to 80? But now you want agents to pay 4 dollars less than a direct mail lead for 21 to 89? Just hypocritical. Gooner wrote a 750k term? GREAT! Go to the life insurance forum and read. They do that all the time. I'm not trying to buy leads on young people. I am not bashing so I can sell my leads. That would be pointless since I don't make anything off of my leads. I do it to give agents someone to go see when they can't afford direct mail. Also do you give the agent the recording of the person agreeing to hear the recording?
 
I really think my main problem I see with FEX is the "Monkey Dust" and can't get this or that unless you are with us. This forum is for sharing ideas and helping fellow agents. Comments like, hey you should have been on the call this morning, that was a VERY GOOD tip about replacing AARP!!! Then Joe Blow agent asks what the tip was, oh you have to be with us to get that. Ok well if that is how it is, don't come on here talking about it. That is hidden recruiting trying to get people to want to come there. If you want to recruit, it does not bother me at all, but please come straight out and say it. Don't use tricky tactics. Do I have agents under me? Sure do! Do I contact them to contract with me, sure don't. I get on here and help anyone that I can if I can. I have had agents reach out to ME! But if I decided I wanted to start recruiting on here, I would put it in plain writing!
I really like most of the people I have talked to that are with FEX and I am in no way bashing them. JD asked to point out the things that they could make better, and this is one big one to me. I don't look at agents as my competition. If your license says Life Insurance on it, guess what...You ARE on my team in my eyes. I will help you in ANYWAY I can.
Fex wants to keep the "Monkey Dust" to themselves and the whole time I have been field training a FEX agent this entire week in Huntsville Alabama. He called me up this weekend asking me a couple questions and needing some help with a presentation and I told him that he was more than welcome to ride with me all week and get some guidance. He said well I would but I like FEX and don't have a problem with them. I told him I didn't care what company he was with and I am not worried one bit about him transferring to me. I just wanted to help him learn how to make money PERIOD!
I bring this up because I have heard said here that field training is not as helpful as a Friday call. He has been on the calls and trust me he has learned a lot more in this one week than he has since he started in insurance. I say that for one last closing comment...Just because you don't offer something, do not knock it. I offer field training, and I feel it is extremely helpful! But guess what, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the idea of the Friday calls. They are helpful to agents also. Just because you don't offer one thing, don't knock another company that does. FEX has A LOT of good things to offer and an agent will be very happy there. Are they the BEST IMO out there? That is impossible because every agent is different. They will be the best for some and not the best for others....NO ONE will ever be the BEST IMO. Just like one insurance company will never be the BEST! They might be the best for diabetics but suck for COPD.
Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to point out the hidden tactics and "Captive" mentality to get help. I can understand not wanting to give out your secrets, but 2 things...not one thing anyone has is exclusive. Someone else before your time has used/said the same thing. And also if you are not willing to give out your "Monkey Dust" or helpful presentation or script ect, then the only reason you would be on an Insurance Forum would be to recruit correct?


Benny,

It is obvious why you don't understand "Monkey Dust" and the reason why some things are confusing for you. You are young and have very limited experience of the business side of Insurance, outside of running your own appointments. This "Good Samaritan" agent persona you put off is friendly and I think you mean well; however some of your "good deeds" may end up putting you in a bad way someday.

Benny you have agents under you. How did you get them? You came across most of them because of this forum. So really you do use this forum as a vehicle to recruit. You do it in an "Aw Shucks" good ole boy way, but you still are on here all the time, chiming in on every thread. After agents read your spill about how you just want to help everyone, even at your own expense, that you crowbar in everyone of your post, they send you a message asking you questions and you contract them and add them to 360's down line. That is you M.O. If you truly want agents to be successful, and your not recruiting why are you hating on FEX? We are improving agents lives over there. :)

You spout that you will train any agent, they can ride with you, and that you will more than likely split the deals with them. That is back-handed, sneaky recruiting tactic. If you have to give whatever knowledge you have away, and drive to go see them, then pay them with commissions from your sales to build your down-line then apparently that's what it takes for you to do if you build a down-line.

I'm proud to say that FEX has never payed a perspective recruit. Agents come to work with us guilt free, with no feeling of obligation because I split one of my sales with them after driving to their city to train them.

Here is some free information that I hope you are aware of, you are on the hook for all bad advances and debt that may be incurred from your "down-line." That's all on you. You are plopped in the middle somewhere, insulating 360 from any debt roll ups. That's a good deal for B.

FEX agents give a ton of information out on this forum, and this forum is more than just helping new, or unsuccessful agents. However, their is a reason why the "Monkey Dust" is just for FEX agents.

I'm all for helping everybody and I really do want everyone on here to be successful and experience awesome success selling FE... right up to the point where it may interfere with the pursuit of success of a FEX agent.

If my brother was sick along with ten other people, but there was only enough medicine for one guess who I'm going to make sure gets the medicine? I will hope for the best for the others, but I will always choose my own. Maybe a goofy analogy, but it correlates my attitude towards FEX agents.

I hope every agent is successful, but I'm going to do everything I can do to ensure FEX agents are successful. I'm sure you have a struggling agent in your down-line, and I imagine that he would be pretty pissed to learn you spent some of your "agent support" time training a FEX agent when you are making on overrides on him.

"Monkey Dust" is selling information, tools, and tips that are shared by vetted and proven Producers, who not only produce, but do so at a very high level.
 
I think little Thad got his feelings hurt on the first page of this thread when he wasn't mentioned. So he mentioned himself and put down the other FMOs.

And you can put down JD all you want to, but he has more integrity than anybody I have met in this business. I've been burnt and lied to so many effin times since I started this career. I have made a few friends, but there are only two guys that I wholeheartedly trust in this industry and that's John Dugger and Travis Tubbs.

I won't go into what all John has done for me, but I can say I'm truly privileged to have his friendship. And that is a 100% genuine statement.

I realize FEX isn't the only good FMO out there, but they're building something that is going to be very special and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Neither are we...the point being made was be flexible. The lady was at her mother's house and answered the phone and left her info. It was a pittance of a case...whopping $50/month deal. The point to be extra clear was...why limit yourself.

My feelings are now hurt I am not on your "friends" list, I got you in my contacts on my Iphone man!!!!:D
 
You just did that to RECRUIT agents or make FEX look so good. It is the same thing you two do with your leads. I remember a post that said something like.

NO you were wanting to promote your leads without promoting. Just like the thread John Galt and Gooner knows leads.

The AARP thing, if I remember correctly was in another thread where everybody was talking about the FEX call and the forum being empty...I think Rouse started it...blame him...in context my friend..in context.

OK, I'll give it to you the JG post about "Hey Gooner, can you believe blah, blah" Truly, he was pumped..we were about to release it to FEX that week...he was totaling promoting the leads...after a combing 2,000 post...well, why the hell not.

The John Galt and Gooner knows leads thread...you've got that one way wrong man. If you haven't noticed by JG's last couple of threads...he's on a bit of a tear with lazy ass agents. That was supposed to be a follow up to the lazy thread. His ending line was, "Go read a book" Simply meaning, if you want to be successful, then figure out how to control you "pipeline" ESPECIALLY in this line of work.

Ummmmm, yes what he ^^^^^ said.
 
Haters gonna hate, dont be jealous.


Newby I do apologize because you really do help a lot on here, actually more than I think I will ever be able to help. This hasn't been going on for a while but it was just here recently that you could tell it was more of a my **** is bigger than your **** and it got old.
