UPDATED EFES/Equita does NOT give releases (New agents please read)

[WinoBlues]

This agent is basically teaching himself by watching videos and only calls a few times and he still gets chastised for taking up too much time. Furthermore he starts out producing and it only looks to get better. This is exactly the kind of agent that an FMO should be looking for, IMO.

Of course they won't release him, he is a producer and asks for little in return. This guy makes a great business decision. If you aren't getting much help and you can get better contracts elsewhere, why would you stay ? Makes no sense.

I was having a conversation with an older client about how his family came to leave the east coast and wind up in California. His story was that his uncle was caught bumping boots with a Union Boss's married daughter. Supposedly the whole family got black balled from working. I can not imagine anyone controlling my ability to do what the hell I want.

OK, OK, unless I happen to sleep in the same bed. She controls.

Easier said then done sometimes.

Some agents have their particular favorites that they are used to and it's hard for them to change course. Sometimes they may have 20 carriers with a particular organization and if they don't get released & go to the new organization who only has 25 carriers to choose from (and they're usually not the preferred carriers) It Will cost the agent money every time in that situation. Even worse Some IMO's don't even offer 20+ carriers.

There are other reasons but those are some of the biggest.

You just made a great case for NOT putting all of your eggs in one basket.

Most FE companies do not dual contract. As a matter of fact I'm not able to come up with even one in my mind at the moment.

AIG, Aetna and Prosperity and I imagine others . . .

Chase is in no hierarchy. Montrelle was direct to EFES.

And i'm not in between anyone. Me and Eric are partners.

A lot different than your setup, but good try!

Was just wondering why you stuck your nose in the thread - still love ya.

p.s. - I don't have a setup - just lil ole me writing biz part-time.

TA writes FU as well. Do they dual contract? Can you write Primier and Family Markets?

Nope, sorry....try again.

No, can't dual contract except for certain products like term, ul, etc. Not FE. Same thing as Mutual.

As Todd said this is not factual information that you are implying... i suggest you call the carriers if you have IMO status.

or

I can tell you the answers

AIG does duel contract but you cant get increased commission for the first six months when you duel contract

Gerber is the same as AIG

Prosperity does NOT duel contract for FE... the only way you can duel contract for them is if you have a med sup contract with one imo and get a FE contract with someone else... if you think i am wrong on this call Jack Heller.

Aetna I don't know because everyone stopped writing them years ago when they started MIB and Script checking

Glad he SAYS he's writing business.

Did you notice that he has to give us a financial rundown of his sales. I have never seen anyone who is successful do that.
