Trouble with Appointments

beeglej · 10-28-2009, 04:00 PM

I have been waiting for more than 2 months to get some appointments. I truly believe that the FMO I am using has submitted the paperwork and has done their job. I have called the carriers who have said we are processing the paperwork.
How do I get them to follow through? I have no history that would tie up the works. I had a few contracts returned for missed signatures, but they are all in now and have had them back for weeks.

Thanks

Can you tell us what carriers you are having trouble with?

Enjoy. Aetna drug their feet for almost four months for me, Humana for three or so. Golden Rule and Assurant were fairly quick.

Make sure you're talking to the right people. Call the carriers direct and ask to speak to the licensing and appointment department and ask what's up. Keep asking until you get an answer.
