Attention All GFI Independent Licensed Agents
 
Due to the exponential and historical growth and production of our company here at GFI, one of our providers, has become very overwhelmed.  This provider has readily admitted that they were caught off guard with the explosiveness of GFI.
 
Also, because of our world class opportunity, there have been a tremendous amount of interest from, and the recruiting of, agents and teams from competitor IMO’s who offer this provider. 
 
The provider being referenced is, National Life Group (NLG).
 
Starting on April 19th of 2024, GFI and NLG entered into an agreement to have a 90-day probationary period between our companies.
 
 
The following is a list of actions that you as an agent and GFI as an agency must immediately implement and adhere to.
 
1.        No agents shall seek to become associated with Equity Services Inc (ESI).
 
2.        There is to be absolutely no advertising showing or referencing NLG.  This includes, but is not limited to, mentioning of NLG (or showing NLG logos) on social media or recruiting presentations.  Using of NLG illustrations for advertising sales, or the prospecting of agents (even without showing the NLG logo), is prohibited.
 
3.        There is to be no advertising of, or disclosure of, or reference of, or comparison of, any compensation from NLG when it comes to talking to agents from other independent marketing organizations (IMO’s), or marketing general agent (MGA) contracted with NLG in connection with the recruitment of new agents to join GFI.  Comparing of GFI compensation from NLG with any other IMO or MGA that is contracted with NLG is prohibited.
 
4.        There is to be no recruiting or attempting of recruiting new agents from any agency, IMO, MGA, or other organization contracted with NLG.
 
a.        Any and all agents licensed with any another company (Agency, IMO, MGA), that are currently contracted with NLG, that approach you about joining GFI, are required to sign the GFI firewall page located at http://infogfi.com (http://infogfi.com/) prior to any GFI agents talking to them.
 
5.        As with every GFI carrier along with every GFI new associate, there is to be no implying or stating that a requirement of an agent joining GFI, is becoming a client.  This does not mean that a prospective or new recruit cannot become a client through GFI, it does mean however, that the new or prospective recruit cannot and should not be pressured to purchase any life insurance or annuity products as a requirement of being associated with GFI.  Including NLG insurance and annuity products.
 
6.        NLG now prohibits any GFI agent from submitting business to NLG that involves the replacement of any policy issued by any other insurance carrier on which any GFI Agent was the selling agent.  This rule includes prohibiting having any licensed spouse or licensed downline writing the new NLG contract in lieu of the original agent who prospected the potential client.
 
 
Both GFI and NLG values the relationship we have that enables GFI to conduct business with NLG.
 
In order to keep NLG and GFI in good standing with each other, it’s imperative that you as an independent agent with GFI strictly adhere to the rules and guidelines listed above.
 
Your prompt, immediate cooperation and implementation is greatly appreciated.
 
 
 Sincerely,
 
Global Financial Impact Executive
