FMO's are another story... worthless as teets on a boar hog...... they need to be eliminated
Have there been Commission reductions recently for Assurant and UHC? That is what my MGA told me unless they are trying to get an extra point out of me saying that Assurant has just recently dropped their commissions by a point.
Also saying that UHC Golden Rule just came recently out with their commissions for 2015 and is paying different commissions in different states with states like PA and TX paying the worse commissions 3-4 points less than states like florida.
Just have very little trust dealing with under 65 health insurance MGAs vs FMOs in Medicare which is the business i am coming from. they are more straight up . Any commissions changes always come from the carriers not the MGA or FMO.
Is Golden Rule paying an advance?
Any thoughts
Cash advances after year 3 in the biz is just silly. If your book isn't there, its time to move on.
From what I've read, the Advance Commissions are being paid out of the Field Marketing Organization's (FMO) business account. They (the FMO) still are paid month to month by the carriers. Agents who have a lapse rate over X% are either put on Earned Commission, or terminated.

you have several of these in #1 and now new client calls in march for sep you the agent know you owe xyz carrier 2500$ in charge backs even though you know in your heart xyz is the correct choice you sell abc company to at least get paid something
I have been in the biz 22 years and have a large book and KGB mom is correct and smoraco too... you still need advances go find a new job. The cash flow comment is just crazy thinking in an ObamaCare era.....
I say any agent taking advances in an ObamaCare era... 22 years or 2 months.... your placing your neck in the chopping block
if your getting an interest free loan, your advice is not to take it?
I didn't know this was a convo about the need for advances, if you need an advance, you most likely SOL, but it seems like you and Bob and some others, don't get the concept.
If your's or anybody else's book is sooo big ( not a dig at all) , then I would assume you would qualify for advances direct? I wrote 700 health apps since Feb this year, if I would of had to go as earned on all of those, I never would of hit that number .
The last month of OEP, I wrote about 160 apps x $100 COA, was about $16k in leads, now if I would of been on as earned I would of gotten an as earned check for about $5k 30-90 days later vs a check for $43k....which would you rather have?
doesn't matter how many clients you currently have, that's just bad business sense not to take a free loan on money owed to you.
your boys just keep taking advances.... however mark this down, on Oct 22 at 5PM you were told.... when they blow up we will all laugh at you.....
I will say this, I have NEVER had an agent with more than 5 years in business disagree with me on this. Successful agents are out of the advance business by year 3.
BTW, I wrote 87 in one week during AEP If we are comparing sizes to your 160 in a month
and in my view its just bad business to take advances on such a fickle product.
I wrote 500 during AEP and those on here know it.... I call BS on 700....unless you have help, other agents doing it for you or some other type of support
If your selling correctly there wont be any charge-backs especially if your selling on exchange and target people who are getting basically free health insurance because of the subsidy
