New Contracting Procedures for Agency Appointments

 

New Contracting Procedures for
Agency Appointments

   

Please alert your licensing staff to this requirement.


To streamline and ensure accuracy of commission payments, EquiTrust will revise contracting procedures for agency appointments. Effective January 1, 2016, agency contracting must include the attached Agency Business Entity Certification Form (Form ET-AGT-ENTITY-3503), as well as a copy of a corporate resolution.

In addition, certain requests for changes to currently contracted agencies will require this form. These include, but are not limited to, changes with respect to:
• Authorized signors
• Agency banking information
• Address changes

Current Rates and Rolling Commissions

Fixed crediting rates increased on our SecureFore 3SM, SecureFore 5SM and SecureFore 7SM fixed annuities, as well on the ForeFreedom SaversSM fixed index annuity. Please refer to the new rate sheet here to get the most current rates.

In addition to these changes, don't forget that Forethought's Elite Agent Bonus Program rewards you for sales performance based on the last rolling four quarters - not just by calendar year. When you sell Income 150+SM, ForeSpending SelectSM and ForeFreedom SaversSM, your commission bonus is always based on production from the four most recent quarters. So if you've had a stellar 2015, all of your hard work may help push your commission percentage even into next year!

Additionally, up to three trailing quarters will receive a true-up retro to dollar one to cumulatively match the current quarter bonus.
