Technology Transforming the Insurance Business: Insights from the Insurance Business Babes PodcastBig Changes and Hard Decisions In the most recent episode of "Insurance Business Babes," Kathe Kline and Joanna Wyckoff offered an honest look into the critical decisions agents face—and how technology is rapidly reshaping insurance workflows. Kathe shared her journey of moving her business to Top Flight after years with a large organization that incentivized her with significant marketing dollars. But as her marketing needs evolved and desired operational changes (like making her assistant an LOA) decreased her benefits, it became clear a transition was necessary—especially when the promise of better technology was on the table.Battling Tech Overload and Disjointed Systems Kathe discussed the costly and frustrating attempt to piece together different tech tools like Connecture and RetireFlo to streamline Plan D (PDP) processes. The discovery that critical carrier data and functions—like syncing client medication lists—were not universally available added to the complexity and inefficiency. Her experience highlights a pain point many independent agents face: technology fragmentation and the challenge of staying informed about what's possible with evolving systems.The Sunfire Revelation A key takeaway from the episode is the game-changing functionality of Sunfire's "secret" Blaze Sync URL. This under-the-radar feature lets agents send clients a unique survey link, so clients can update their medication lists themselves—automatically populating Sunfire with accurate data. The catch? Very few agents seemed to know about it, due to gaps in communication from uplines and the sheer flood of carrier and FMO emails that overwhelm most inboxes.Improving Communication in the Industry Kathe's frustration—and Joanna's insight as an upline—underscores an industry-wide issue: critical updates get lost in the barrage of impersonal emails and irrelevant invites. Their solution? Uplines must invest in real personal communication, not just mass shotgun email blasts.Conclusion This episode reminds us that while insurance tech is advancing rapidly, cultivating genuine relationships and customized support is just as essential. Whether you're an agent or an upline, cutting through the digital noise and focusing on meaningful solutions can make all the difference—for your business and your clients.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

Explore the critical role of your Field Marketing Organization (FMO) in this episode, where we question whether your FMO is truly bringing value beyond just a compensation bump. We delve into why it's essential for agents to partner with an FMO that not only enhances their potential to write more business but also contributes to their overall growth and development as an agent. Discover the key aspects that define a valuable FMO, such as training opportunities, marketing support, and access to a wider range of products. Learn why choosing the right FMO could mean the difference between mediocre success and outstanding performance in the long run. Join us as we unpack what to look for in an FMO to ensure they are genuinely invested in improving your capabilities and helping you increase your earnings.

In this episode we talk to Amy Koncar, our Head of Contracting and Agent onboarding. She talks about what specifically happens when an agent "contracts or onboards" with an FMO or carrier. She talks the work involved and why some FMOs or carriers don't give releases.

Today we're going to discussed something that most single women won't admit and that is that we look at other people relationships and say to yourself “ why isn't that me . Did I miss out on something ?” . Some of us see our exs moving on and wonder was i the problem ? Did I miss out on my husband? I guess the question of the day is does FMO actually exist? P.s I said froYo in this episode, my mistake lol . --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheknowsmsbrownstone/message
