Mr. Wieniewitz welcome to this forum.
I've found this forum to be one of the best on the net.
Regarding your question:
Quote:
I am wondering if there are any FMOs out there that people are pleased with.
Yes, Creative Marketing.
Quote:
1) What do you like about them?
A human being person pleasantly and politely answers the phone. They have, I believe, 6 full time great receptionist. It is simply a breath of fresh air to actually speak to a human being person to direct your call. They still clearly understand that our business is dealing with real people human beings and not just buildings, phone systems and computer models, like AIG.

2) What do they do for you?
Anything I need, when I need it and almost immediately.
Other than that, nothing.
Quote:
3) What could they do better?
They run a first class operation.
I'm sure they could do something better but I'm without knowledge what that would be. _________________ Gary Spicuzza, *SAFE

I am just looking at how to make ours better. We have a recruiting structure as well as split overrides with our producers so that they can build their businesses.
Besides this and the training that we give, I am just feeling things out to see where we can expand.
Would someone care to explain what does FMO stand for? The google seems to be giving every possible acronym for FMO, but I’m sure they don’t fit at this situation

Field Marketing Organization or (IMO) Independent Marketing Organization
These are companies that have independent agents that work with them. Years ago, insurance companies cut their marketing departments and up popped FMOs. They are supposed to provide the agents they service with Marketing, Training, and Support. In my experience, there are not many that do a great job.
They get paid overrides off of the products the agents sell.
