Choosing the right FMO (field marketing organization) is one of the most difficult but essential decisions to make if you are an independent health insurance agent. This decision can either help an agent’s business grow and profit or make life difficult and struggling to make ends meet. But, what is an FMO? And how can you determine which FMO is right for you?
Helping Health Insurance Agents Find the Best FMO to Work With
Maybe you found us via web search, trying to find information about FMOs — don’t worry, we’ll explain. Or maybe you’ve long worked in the health insurance industry, but your current FMO just isn’t doing the trick anymore — we’ll explain why we’re the best choice for you, too.
Whatever’s brought you here, we’d love to chat about FMOs: what they are, why agents use them, and why North American Health Plans is the best health insurance FMO for your business.
What’s an FMO and why should you work with one?
An FMO is a field marketing organization that offers insurance products and services to insurance agents or agencies (like us, North American Health Plans). While there are a small number of insurance companies that might be willing to contract directly with agents, the majority of name-brand companies require you to work through an FMO in order to sell their products. Plus, independent agents get to work for their clients, not the insurance companies.
FMOs can also make selling to clients easier than if you were to go it alone. Many offer commission contracts, training opportunities, and technology that makes it easier for you to compare products and plans so you can make the best choice for your clients.
