About
Since 2015, Exertus Financial Partners & Insurance Agencies has offered financial marketing organization services to individuals and their families.
The insurance products and services offered by Exertus are all presented to customers by independent contractors that are licensed to sell financial services.
Products
Here is an overview of the products you would sell if you worked with Exertus Financial Partners, as well as some information on how their commissions work.
Life Insurance
Life Insurance products at Exertus include indexed universal life, whole life, final expense, and mortgage protection.
These packages are customizable to consumers’ needs in terms of the length of time they want to be covered and whether they want their plan to increase in value regularly or be attached to the value of a stock index.
Financial Planning
Financial planning at Exertus helps customers plan for big events in their life such as retirement or college.
These plans can be customized to fit financial needs, as well as negotiated with a trained advisor to ensure they are stable and viable plans for your clients’ future.
Long-Term Care and Living Benefits
When clients become older, they may want to include long-term care in their life insurance package, as well as living benefits that protect them as they become more advanced in age.
Debt Elimination
Unlike many insurance providers, Exertus uses its financial strategies to help customers eliminate their debt as well.
This frees up capital for their other plans as well as helps them trust Exertus’ trained advisors in matters of their life finances.
This also serves as a unique marketing tactic that draws customers to Exertus for life insurance plans by way of their debt elimination program.

One of the perks of joining Exertus is its exclusive insurance lead generation program that uses webinars, warm market tactics, and networking events to generate leads.
The virtual training system through Exertus also gives agents tools to improve their salesmanship and work efficiently within the company’s system of exclusive leads.
Agents can do this while taking advantage of the company’s revenue-sharing system, which ensures that everyone doing work goes home with a profit.

How To Quit Exertus Financial Partners
There are many reasons you may want to quit Exertus Financial Partners, for example, you ran out of money to invest in leads, you ran out of prospects to sell to, or you simply found that the business of selling insurance wasn’t a good fit for you.
The good news is, quitting Exertus Financial Partners is easy.
Here’s how to do it.
First, start by doing your due diligence and find another insurance agency to work for. We recommend you review our Free Agent Resource Guide here for tips on finding a quality insurance agency to join.
Once you find a new agency or carrier to join, you can go ahead and switch your affiliations.
You should keep in mind that as an insurance agent, you are licensed by the state and not by the company. No insurance agency can prevent you from stopping your affiliation with it and doing business with another organization.
You may need to cancel the affiliation with Exertus Financial Partners. The termination usually needs to be filed within a 30 day window, however canceling affiliation is not always mandatory.
To become properly appointed with the new insurance carrier or agency, you simply complete contracting with the new insurance carrier.
Typically, the window for companies to process affiliations is very short, with most companies approving insurance agent carrier appointments within 1 to 2 weeks on average.
Bottom line, quitting Exertus Financial Partners is no big deal. Simply find another organization that’s better suited to your insurance sales career goals, submit contracting through the new organization, and within the next few weeks, you’re good to go and can stop doing business with Exertus Financial Partners.

My Thoughts
Working as an independent agent (not associated with Exertus at all) since 2011, I’d like to point out some thoughts about what you should pay attention to before you join Exertus Financial Partners or any other insurance agency for that matter.
Is The Agency A Good Fit?
It’s important to make sure the agency you’re thinking about joining matches your goals.
There are a lot of insurance agencies in this business that are influenced by multi-level marketing. These insurance MLMs push recruiting over actual insurance sales training.
When you visit an insurance sales opportunity, see how the organization values teaching the craft of selling Insurance over recruiting.
If you hear a lot of effort placed on recruiting, especially if it’s more effort than is put towards personal production, be wary. It’s most likely a multi-level marketing focused organization.
Compare Commission Levels
One thing you’ll hear from a lot of insurance opportunities is that their commission levels are the best, the highest, or the most aggressive.
While all of this sounds good, it doesn’t actually share the facts of how those commissions actually pan out. And just as important, how commission levels stack up against other organizations.
For example, there are a number of agencies that advertise top commissions that truly are much lower than many other organizations.
They try to justify their lower commissions with the support and service that you’ll receive as an agent.
While sometimes that’s an appropriate justification, many times it doesn’t actually measure up after doing due diligence and comparing what that agency offers versus what other agencies offer.
Simply put, make sure to do your due diligence.
It’s worth your time to check around and make sure commission levels offered pan out to be what they claim.
