What agents are saying about the SMS Agent Onboarding Program
“Hi Brittany. You and your team have done more for me than any other FMO. Next year I am planning on getting licensed in other states and Rachel has been very helpful and informative. I like that you have provided a newsletter that I can share with my clients and the quote engine makes my job a lot easier. My only regret is that I did not find you sooner. I have cancelled my contracts with the other FMO and have since signed on with SMS.”
“SMS is always open to share ideas to grow my business. I’ve never been involved with a FMO that offers the level of training, a dedicated representative, and the sharing of information that SMS offers to help me and my team succeed.”
“I’ll have to say… You are a huge help so far and I want to thank you!! I am new to all of this and I have not received this much help from anyone, you guys have a great operation and any agent working with you guys and gals are lucky. As soon as I am able to move all of my companies to SMS I will do in a heartbeat. I really appreciate the help… You will be hearing a lot from me at first until I start understanding everything more. I am so excited!!!!”
“Rachel, Brittany, I want to thank the two of you for all you do and continually staying in touch with me and updating me. I wanted to let you know I just signed up my first client on IAC through telapp. This is by far the easiest app for both agent and client. Again thank you for everything.”
