You need appointments with carriers prior to writing. That’s the biggest thing Todd King does. He’s the middle man between you and the insurance company (who doesn’t want to deal with agents.)
Once you’re appointed, you can write business.
Todd and Matt do a great job of analyzing your market and showing you the best companies (for the agent and client) to represent. Also, the off you phone assistance as well.
I’m signed with another imo for my IL contracts and don’t even suggest them.
So being "appointed" is just a euphemism for being set up to sell insurance?
Who am I officially appointed to? The FMO or to the various insurance companies? Do you have to get appointed to each and every company for which you sell products?
What's relationship between independent agents and FMOs? How are they FMOs imbursed by the insurance companies?
