How FMOs Help New Agents Launch Their Careers
Entering the health insurance industry as a new agent can be both exciting and overwhelming. The market’s complexity and competitive nature often require guidance and resources to achieve success. Field Marketing Organizations (FMOs) play a vital role in supporting new agents as they build their businesses. Partnering with the right FMO can provide essential training, tools, and mentorship that pave the way for a successful career.

Comprehensive Training and Education Programs
One of the primary benefits FMOs offer new agents include comprehensive sales strategy & product trainings. These educational resources cover a wide range of topics, including:
1. Product knowledge for Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and individual health insurance plans.
2. Sales techniques tailored to different demographics and insurance products.
3. Regulatory compliance to ensure agents adhere to federal and state guidelines.
We at Agent Boost provide webinars and in-person workshops to accommodate our agents. By equipping you with industry knowledge and practical skills, we help new agents gain confidence and competence in selling insurance products.
Marketing and Leads Support
Leads are always a part of every conversation we have with agents. For new agents, its common to spend more time searching and buying leads than you do working and selling them. This eats up your valuable time earning revenue and can lead to burn-out. FMOs provide valuable marketing support by providing things like co-branded marketing materials, lead generation tools, and leads themselves.
We at Agent Boost work within an ecosystem that has about 1 million leads at any given time. These resources can save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on building relationships and closing sales rather than creating marketing content from scratch.
Access to Carrier Contracts and Competitive Commissions
FMOs simplify the contracting process by offering access to multiple insurance carriers. This arrangement allows new agents to:
1. Expand their portfolio with a variety of products from leading health insurance providers.
2. Enjoy competitive commission structures often unavailable to agents contracting independently.
The ability to represent multiple carriers enhances an agent’s marketability, enabling them to tailor solutions to individual client needs and secure long-term client relationships.
Tools For Efficiency
Efficiency is key for success, and FMOs equip agents with technology platforms that streamline operations. The tools available to you at agent boost include:
1. Rocket CRM (CRM) to organize client information and track interactions.
2. Quoting and enrollment platforms for quick and accurate insurance comparisons and enrollments.
3. Compliance department to reduce the risk of regulatory issues.
Having access to these tools enables new agents to manage their workload effectively while delivering superior service to clients.
