Wow Ben Bowman Was Going to Leave 360 and Go to Efes?

Not really sure what I saw d that made you think my move only benefited people wanting to move.

For a high producer, I can get him to the comp levels he deserves without being restricted by several uplines. And then the leaderboard would be nice for some agents that like recognition. Lastly, the support staff would really come in handy.

For a new to FE agent, it's an unbelievable training system we've built. National sales trainer. Reports to monitor their numbers so they know where they are done my good and where might need improvement. They get all this without compromising comp. Our agents also get paid on issue to help with paying for leads. They even get this on companies that pay others on draft date.

So still unsure where I said anything about building a team.

I've always found their back office support services to be unrivaled by other organizations.

So many factors, but in a nut shell...Me and Eric did a merger and it opened up a lot of opportunities for me. I am no longer several levels down. I am equal levels and it allows me to never be in an agents way. The support from the new business department, contracting department, lead department, etc. gives me way more freedom and time to spend with my agents. The training now is 2nd to none since it is a click through course with tests, slides, videos, etc. to get a new agent trained on EVERY single aspect of this business without worrying about skipping over something.

I also love how the agents have control over lead flow. They get to talk to the lead department weekly and control their leads instead of crossing their fingers and hoping. EFES was known by some for not being consistent with lead flow and we figured out EXACTLY why that was and it has been fixed. EFES was not charging up front which was hard to continue to drop back to back to back for an agent you just met and had no idea if they would actually go to work. Now it is the deposit setup like agencies that use RGI have, so none of my agents flow has been messed up at all.

I also just added in a National Sales Manager that will fly to an agent and train them for a full week in the AGENTS AREA and the agent doesn't give up any comp for this. The agent doesn't go under the national sales manager...we handle paying them.

Also when I have my blitzes, everyone shows up to them. Before it was just me doing EVERYTHING. Now I have people working WITH me and it has been a night and day difference.

That just touches on some of it and I was not going to say anything about it on here, but you asked twice. I didn't want you thinking I was dodging the question.

And Spur didn't move over to EFES. He probably saw the leaderboard from a fellow agent or something. Spur is still doing his thing with The Squad.

It's unbelievable to see how your opportunity keeps getting better and better. & to offer ALLLLL of that and still not cut comp... crazy.

Thanks buddy. See you in Cali in a few weeks. Also are you coming in for the St Louis blitz?

Correct. He's one of my top producers on a consistent basis.

I was referring to the fact that you seemed to indicate your move enhanced your opportunity to build a team. I was asking what would be the advantage of an agent with no desire to build a team would be to come to EFES.

I have several hundred agents and only around 5 build a team. There are several benefits for me since the move and the main one I can say is the support. Also the fact that I don't have to worry about my team being recruited INTERNALLY like I experienced before. Even though they were unsuccessful, I didn't like someone TRYING to steal my downline.

But you can see my previous posts about why it's good for agents. It also frees my time up a lot so I'm able to drive/fly around and spend time with my people. We can use the reports to see if there are things we can improve on. Love having a report that will show an agent their closing %, total AP across all carriers, placement, premium per lead, etc.

It's just been an unbelievable experience. I've spent so much with Eric already. We go do something almost weekly. Big difference from my previous upline that I was more unplugged from.

Eric is one of the finest men I've ever met in my life. Not just the insurance business. I can describe him in one word, honorable. There's very few people that can be described that way.

Yea he is a great dude for sure.

I haven't read or followed the entire thread but I do have one question. Who's Eric? is he on the forum and if so what's his handle? I do know who some of the guys being talked about are but I have never heard of Eric.

Also, congrats Ben on your new joint venture. Hope things turn out well for you. You going to Alaska?

Eric is the President of EFES. That is who I merged my company with and did a partnership. He is as good as they come for sure. Laid back, honest businessman.

I am not 100% sure on Alaska yet. Doubt I'll be there though. It can be 110 degrees outside and I am good to go, but if it gets below 50, I can't move
