Unicorn IMO/FMO??????

[WinoBlues]

I'm in the old farts club too. It's been over 20 years since I've sold my 1st life insurance policy.

It's been 45 years since I won my first convention trip (selling magazines door to door at age 12. Won an all expenses trip by Greyhound bus to Disney World and Cape Canaveral.) I've won over 30 more conventions since then mostly off personal production and a few recent ones off agency production.

I may be a little out gunned in FE -only production by some of the big dogs but I'm in a very exclusive club when it comes to mixed senior market volume (FE, Med Sups, Med Advantage, Annuities and Funeral Trusts. ) and on top of that I run an agency where you actually CAN get the owners on the phone. Imagine that?

So when it comes to old farts and their bragging rights...I'm in.

Nice club. You can not post here, but a very nice club. Have you ever sold a GUL that was going to be used for final expenses, as well as a few other thigs? Sorry

You are a well rounded agent for sure.

I don't know what you are trying to riddle but DEX is not the only FE imo that has fixed price leads in Fl.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but I was just trying to answer him about FEX. I thought it might be an issue of leads, but since you said FEX has access to fixed cost leads there, I was just reassuring him that FEX would be a good choice for him.

PS. I just re-read how I said that and I can see how it might have been taken wrong. Nothing "snarky" was intended there.

There you go. I knew I would be corrected if I were wrong. It is a hard state for lead generation, but because FEX has a fixed cost program, it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Yes we do leads in Florida. We won't put too many agents on the lead program in Florida because it would adversly affect the price of leads for the agents in the other states if we go too heavy in the worse performing state. But we can handle one or two more in the right areas.

It's true that we charge $2 per lead more in Florida than we do in the other states. But I'm pretty sure we are still priced right with our competitors in Florida because we seem to be about $3 less than them in most states when you match up the lead and age/income filters.

He wasn't told that and neither were you.

Well then, I certainly feel better. Thank you.

OK, so the Old Farts Club is now 4 members strong. Do we set the age you can join at 55? Should we let JD in, even though he's a real FE guy?

Just messin' with ya JD.

I won't be 55 until next August, and I don't quite have the 20 years yet, but I'm pretty rounded in the senior market like Newby, barring the Funeral Trusts, but add LTC. I've had my share of trips as well, though many of them were through a captive agency, but very nice. I had Peter Nauhart (Sp?), then President of CGI, call me and ask me how I sold so much FE and wanted me to help train agents.

So, do I qualify for the club yet?

That's close enough Todd...you're in. No, you didn't spell Peter's last name correctly(Nauert). Rouse and I were just talking about him in the Washington National thread. I liked CGI. They were one of the 1st companies I picked up when I went independent.

Welcome to the Old Farts Club. So we're borrowing a page from Lamb Chops and making the rules up as we go. The age is now 54.

I know you won't take that personal Tom.

I loved writing their products. One of the last "easy" companies. I know Peter sold out, but I have no idea where he went. Did he retire? When he left there was rumours about him starting up another company.

Yep, sold out to CERES, who sold them to Great American, who sold them to Cigna. I see they still operate in a couple of states.

Rouse posted his Obituary in that other thread. I guess you could say he "retired" in 2007.
