First and foremost, regarding FFL being a company only for “pros," we'd like to state that this is most certainly not the case. In fact, just last week we had 52 brand new agents issue pay over $2500 for the week; all agents who started after January 1st of this year. Beyond that, FFL goes the extra mile and is willing to help individuals who'd like to get started with a career in insurance by offering a free pre-licensing course so that they can become certified. We have and will always be a company that strives to work with people who have a passion for helping others, regardless of their current experience level.
Moving onto to the comments about FFL's lead program, we'd like to state that they are all absolutely untrue. We do not own any of the lead programs and, in fact, work with multiple different companies that specialize in lead distribution. It's possible that an agent might purchase a lead from an outside vendor that sells to multiple IMO’s but with that being said, FFL has and will never sell a lead to more than one FFL agent. We have also never heard any feedback from our agents stating that they had to wait for months in order to obtain leads. Our lead department is extremely focused on addressing any issue brought to them by an agent. We have a clear and open line of communication and encourage our agents to call our lead department directly with any concerns they may have.
As it pertains to building an agency, FFL has never forced this upon any of our agents. We support our managers in their hiring efforts if that's what they choose to do, but the core of our training has always focused on how to become a better producer. We do this because we know that it will have a greater immediate impact on improving that agent's income for themselves and their family. All of FFL's training is conducted by our top agents who ar personally producing at least $20,000 in a month. That being said, the training is not designed for these agents to "thump their chests", rather it is to share the sales strategies and techniques they are utilizing so that other agents may learn and benefit as well. FFL is also aware that some agents may benefit more from hands on training, so our top producers will even train and make live sales call at our regional sales conferences. These trainings are designed to be interactive with the agents attending so that we can make sure that everyone who's interested in learning has the opportunity to do so in a variety of ways.
FFL prides itself on being a company that was built by agents and for agents; Therefore, we will always encourage any type of constructive feedback so that we can continue to improve and offer a safe and productive environment for our agents. Please keep in mind that FFL is currently hiring for life producers all over the country. We strongly believe in our vision and steadfast commitment to putting our agents needs first. As far as we know, we are the only IMO in the country that doesn't require you to sign a contract with our IMO to get started. We have nothing to hide, and will always be upfront with who we are as a company. If you're currently a licensed agent or interested in pursing a career in insurance we encourage you to call our hiring department at 860-317-1324 EXT.1324.
