I have Assurant and Golden Rule contracts available Nationwide. Humana is available in certain states (mainly midwest)

Assurant is annualized and starts at 20% (can be higher based off production)

Golden Rule is a 9 month advance (can be higher based off production)

I can also give you the ability to recruit agents and receive an override if you'd like.

I'm going direct from now on. Enough with agencies. They go out of business or just tell lies.

Sales Wolf isn't going anywhere... I've personally spoken to this guy and he's a "class act". New agents looking for contracts could do a lot worse than contracting with him.

Thanks for the kind words JOSHRIL.

JE- THere are many reasons to utilize GAs or other agencies to get appointed.

-Higher Commission

-Training

-Ability to move your contracts: With some carriers you get pigeon-holed into a contract if you direct. After a small amount of production it's almost impossible to switch your contract to a GA. If you go through a GA like me or JOSHRIL you will have the ability to move your contracts if you're no happy.

-Recruiting other agents- Lots of GAs will give you the ability to bring in new agents and receive an override on their production

-Special prices or contests- GAs sometime offer special trips, money or other various programs to their agents that you can't get direct.

How is this beneficial? The commission is the same or lower than an agent can get on their own. Are you offering leads?

What training does anyone really provide? Getting thrown into the deep end of a pool isn't training?

I spoke to about 60 agents over the last two months and everyone said that had little to no training.

Nice, an agent can win a trip from the money they happen to be making the GA, instead of paying for their own trip with their own money.

Maybe I'm different but there's no reason to work for anyone anymore.

Exactly! Part of being Independant is standing on your own two feet. If you want a hand-out, just remember: "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch".
------------------------------------
To be truly independent, an agent should not be dependent on a government bureaucrat for contracts or commissions.

Re: Assurant and Golden Rule Appointments             Go to Top

Haven't posted in awhile because I've been so busy and wanted to update this post.

HealthGeneralAgent.com now offers contracts with Humana, Aetna, Assurant, United and Coventry for health insurance.

As well as Life and Medicare products.

With the option of Advanced commission on most of the major carriers.

The advantages of going the GA route are numerous unlike what the great uninformed "Sales Mentor" Rob Liano states.

- Training. I personally give you individual 1 on 1 training. Doesn't cost you a dime. I would venture to say I have written more apps than any of the Sales Coaches or Association starters combined.
WE also offer daily webinars for additional training.
-Commission - You WILL NOT get a higher contract if you go direct. For example: United starts you at 15% with the ability to go all the way to 22. We start you at 20 with the ability to make more.
-Contests and Incentives - You don't lose out on most of the contests the carriers run but we also offer additional contests, trip, bonuses, and compensation.

In my opinion it's absolutely ridiculous to go direct. Once you go direct you are stuck with that carrier. If you go through a GA like myself you can always go back to direct or switch to a different GA.

"I would venture to say I have written more apps than any of the Sales Coaches or Association starters combined"

You might be right, but I do have 29 years of apps to count.

A bit unrelated...Assurant terminated my Oh contract. I guess I haven't written any apps with them in a few years. I suppose thats the reason.

We talked one time, might be interested in talking again. Do you offer a quoting system? Do you track and followup on submitted cases?. How difficult is it to move from being direct? Do you offer an in house UW screener?

Re: Assurant and Golden Rule Appointments             Go to Top

I am contracted through "TheSalesWolf" for a few of my carriers and I'd have to say that he's great. His training is excellent, I know because I went through it. I am by no means a "heavy hitter" yet in this business, but I do think I write more than average. 9 apps in the last 7 business days. I literally doubled my closing ratio from just 1 thing that he recently had me do.
Anybody new in the business or starting out, will benefit from him as your GA.
