We can help you learn how to get appointed with insurance companies and place more business in your agency.
“The Redbird Network was created to provide an unmet education need to independent insurance agents building a career and looking for a growth partner.” – Drew Gurley, Founder
Below is a list of some of the companies the Redbird Network represents and can help you get started selling.
Assuming you don’t have any vector hits or a questionable background, insurance brokers should expect to be appointed and ready to write business in about 10 days.
Depending on the state you live in you can submit your application at the same time as your appointment paperwork which allows you to get started immediately.
This is a standard practice in the insurance industry.
In order to get contracted direct with any of our companies you’ll need the following.
Redbird does not support captive agents. Redbird is a place for independent agents to get support and remain independent and paid directly from the carriers by accessing highly qualified growth partners. You can work with us at any capacity that best supports your agency and get paired with many of the best life insurance IMO, annuity IMO, etc…
Below are the types of contracts we can support with most carriers.
There might be some other categories available, but we can support most relationships with these direct contract levels.

We have an incredible team available to help you with advanced case design for life insurance, annuities, or disability. We primarily work with financial advisors that bring us a variety of complex cases.
IMO is an acronym for independent marketing organization and sometimes known as an insurance marketing organization. Regardless, they are a source of top-level contracts.
Independent Insurance agents typically need to utilize a life or health insurance IMO or brokerage due to the support systems they can offer. Another reason is because insurance companies do not have the staff to support directly contracted agents to sell their insurance products. An IMO serves as a great middle man between the distribution force and the direct insurance carriers.
A good IMO will help you manage your book of business and provide services such as leads, CRM, marketing programs, hiring new agents, quoting tools, a dedicated recruiter, and top-level commissions as your up-line.
An FMO is a field marketing organization which is contracted with insurance carriers and manages distribution channels of licensed agents. FMO’s generally support general agencies (GA), managing general agents (MGA), and direct agents.
Your FMO should help you with marketing strategies to increase your insurance sales in your first year and beyond in the insurance business. A good insurance FMO will provide transparent communication and should be wildly focused on support whether you’re a health insurance agent, life insurance agent, Medicare advantage agent, or Medicare supplement broker.
Common services include marketing, lead generation, insight on the best lead programs, guidance on social media marketing strategies, and how to best navigate insurance carrier underwriting requirements.
All contracted agencies are granted access to broker back office which includes a very simple to use life insurance quoter that will run comparisons for term life, GUL, and final expense. Here is a demo of how to run quotes in broker back office.
We will also grant you access to Winflex Web which is a great tool for illustrating more advanced permanent life insurance illustrations.
If you’re looking for Medicare quote comparisons, we can get you access to CSG.
