Subject: Join the FMOs who have pledged to release agents
Dear [FMO Name/Representative],
I hope this message finds you well. As a dedicated agent working closely with your company, I’m writing to express my concern about FMOs who refuse to release agents when an agent chooses to contract with another FMO. While I have no plans to move my business, I am concerned about this industry practice and would like to see it end, not only because it limits the freedom of agents, but also it restricts our ability to best serve our clients.
I am aware that several leading carriers and FMOs have already taken steps to eliminate these restrictions, recognizing that empowering agents is key to fostering a healthier, more competitive industry. I strongly urge [FMO Name] to consider joining this movement by revising your policies to allow agents the freedom to choose where and how they conduct their business without penalty.
As an agent who values our partnership, I believe this change will strengthen our relationship and align with the best practices emerging across the industry. I would appreciate your consideration of this important issue.
If you agree with me and are willing to make your support public, I would love for you to make sure your FMO is listed with others on the FMO page of the jointheagentrevolution.com website.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

After you send the email, consider sharing your experience on social media or with fellow agents. Encourage them to reach out to their carriers as well. Every voice counts!
If you don’t receive a response within a few weeks, follow up with your FMO to keep the conversation going.
Continue to support and prioritize working with carriers and FMOs that have already made the change. Their commitment to agent freedom deserves recognition and loyalty.
