I did get an email yesterday that an NASB agent MAY be granted a release but the top management wants to confirm that I will release any of out agents that want to go to them in return if he allows this release.
Do you think he's unaware that any of our agents are free to go to him now? They just don't get it. That's the big difference with FEX, Todd or 360. No one is there that doesn't want to be. There are no walls.
Once an agency has that policy in place, they actually have to keep agents happy to keep them. Wow, what a concept?
Commissions have to be competitive. Leads have to be competitive. Training has to have value. And you can't waste the agent's time with nonsense.
If all agencies would simply adopt an open door policy, they would automatically adjust to be more agent friendly. Those artificial walls are what encourages FMOs to over promise and under deliver. WAY under deliver.
I don't know of any agent who chooses rah,rah meetings. They want REAL training. With real substance. No one needs to hear every morning what everyone sold yesterday. I can't imagine a bigger waste of valuable time. That's time the agent could be on appointments.
Our agency is about empowering agents to succeed. Not suckle mama. If you can't get out of bed and go to work on your own, maybe NASB has your business model for you. But if you are someone that just needs good training, good leads and commissions that allow you to realistically earn $10,000 to $20,000 monthly right away and build from that, welcome to the real world of big-boy final expense sales.
So here is breaking news if anyone didn't get this before, ANY FEX agent that would like to jump over to NASB and move all your contracts, you are granted permission. Now hopefully NASB will create that same open door policy and they will become a better agency for it.
Well said Scott, Amen.
