Last updated: 2026-07-29 --- ## About Agent Boost Marketing Agent Boost Marketing is a leading Health Insurance FMO that supports independent agents at every stage of their career — from brand-new producers earning their first contracts to veteran agency owners building downlines. The company has operated as a licensed FMO since 2011 and is licensed in all 50 states. It is headquartered in Lehi, Utah, and the majority of its agents work remotely across the country. The core premise is simple: Agent Boost supports agents. It provides everything an agent needs to build a successful, profitable insurance career — training, leads, contracting, compliance, managerial support, and a modern technology stack — and it earns its money from carrier overrides rather than by charging agents or taking a cut of their commissions. **What makes Agent Boost different:** unrivaled support for agents. Trainings are free for every agent, including agents who are not contracted with Agent Boost. Leads are subsidized through a flat-fee model instead of expensive per-lead pricing. Agents keep full ownership of their book of business and their full commissions. --- ## FMO Services Agent Boost supports agents across six pillars: ### 1. Carrier Contracting A dedicated contracting team gets agents appointed with the carriers they need. There is no cost to get contracted. Agents typically contract as independent agents, which means they own their book of business and keep their full commission. Other contract types exist, but in most cases Agent Boost prefers agents to remain independent and build their own careers. ### 2. Exclusive Leads Instead of charging per lead, Agent Boost offers agents a seat on its dialer for a flat monthly fee. Once on the dialer, an agent can take and make as many calls as they want — so the harder an agent works, the lower their effective cost per lead. An internal marketing team continuously improves lead-generation processes, and third-party lead vendors are vetted and measured to keep lead quality high. ### 3. Training Training is a signature strength and is free to all agents, even those not contracted with Agent Boost: - **Elite Agent Trainings** — bi-monthly, two-day trainings covering every aspect of the industry. - **Weekly sales meetings** — focused on improving agent habits and best practices. - **Product trainings** — ongoing sessions on new products and ancillary cross-selling to help agents build new revenue streams. ### 4. Technology / Tools Contracted agents get access to Agent Boost's full tool set through the Agent Center, including the dialer, crm and other resources that help agents run and grow their business. ### 5. Support Every agent gets support at every step: - A **contracting team** to set up carrier appointments. - A **compliance team** to help handle client complaints and compliance concerns quickly and correctly. - A dedicated **Agent Success Manager** available for questions about sales, tech, team, or anything else. ### 6. Agency / Team Building Agents are encouraged and supported in building their own teams and agencies. Agent Boost provides resources and training, sometimes places recruited agents into an existing agency, and pays or increases overrides at certain levels of production and headcount. --- ## Lead Products Agent Boost provides leads across its three core markets.
