Definitely compare commission levels both ways first though.
Same with Ohio National. Check with a regional GA vs. a GA that is way out of their local region. Huge differences.
Add to that ONL's tiered comp schedule. Makes it hard for an independent unless they put a significant amount of business with them.

Someone mentioned Sagicor earlier. I admit that I've only had limited experience with them but I've found their underwriting to be extremely tough and have never had a policy go through with them.
When I try to find out what the problem is with a application, I'm given the run about. Needless to say I dropped them after a bit.
I've always found Pru and Banner to be could companies.
I like Pru and banner for FU term as well.
I have had the opposite experience with Sagicor GUL. Need to understand that it is Non Med, not SI Issued. Also it is computer underwriting and if sent to underwriting review it usually is something that we already are aware of and just need to clarify with an email.

Go to carriers all depend on the product.
For Term & GUL I mostly use LFG & MNL/NA. Protective, AG, Met, Pru are all good term carriers as well.
For IUL I use MNL/NA & LFG. MNL/NA has the best IUL hands down imo. UW isnt as loose as LFG though.
For participating WL it is MM, Guardian, & Penn all the way. ON is a strong choice too.
For IAs I like AE, AG, NWL, GA
For FAs MNL/NA, Guggenheim, F&G, Deleware
Lafayette WL does not compete well with MM/Guardian/Penn last I saw a comparison.
Ditto. LFG has been very good for me. They do like larger cases as well.
