Well, it was only a matter of time before anonymous reports were filed. As an association we currently have more than 20 affiliates. We have affiliates for leads, CRM's, errors and omissions, web design, etc...anything agents use so we can offer them a discount or make sure they get the best deals possible. I guess since we also drive members to our E&O affiliate that means we're not independent and we're just a marketing arm for them? The truth is there are a lot of disreputable agencies and GAs our there. They attempt to place agents on below street level contracts, advise they sell uncompetitive products and will not release agents upon request. This is when most agents come to find that unless a release is sign they are "trapped" in their contracts. Health Choice One does not trap their agents in contracts and honors requests for a release. Before of that we recommend them. We also get around 10 requests per week from other agencies who wants us to drive traffic to them. However, we have requirements most simply do not meet. Of course, it's not a great conversation at the end when we tell them that since they don't offer the best deal we cannot recommend their agency....hence you see what's most likely a disgruntled agency owner who made that post. We're not only not a "fake" association - we're as real as it gets. We conduct 2 live webinars a day plus a country-wide morning chat. If anyone wants to see the training topics just go to out site and click on the calendar. We also put on free live training. We're in Atlanta on the 22nd of this month conducting a 6 hour free lunch and learn training workshop. If anyone reading this wants to tour the member's site to see exactly what we offer just contact me at the number on the site. I'll be more than happy to show anyone exactly what we offer.
