TESTIMONIALS

I can’t begin to tell you how much my Medicare business means to me, both personally and professionally.  It really was the start of the success I’ve had in this business, back in that cramped conference room in the old office, and I owe it all to you and the training you provided to me as a brand new agent back in July 2005. 

 

I still remember that as my first experience with Gordon Marketing, including how long it took me to tell the difference between you and Rebecca!  And I thought I would never comprehend the difference between a HMO and a PPO!!"

- Jay, IN

I used to work with several FMOs and thought nothing of it but once I started putting more of my contracts in one place it really made my life easier. Not only do I now know all their key staff and they know me and how I work, but I'm not just a number anymore. Instead of doing a little here and there, now I consistently win their trips and that means a lot to my wife because she loves the comeraderie with the others and pushes me to win each year. I haven't missed an AEP kick off in 6 years and I know I'm getting better support and more opportunities than I was before. I'm not captive, I can leave at anytime--but there is no place that has ever worked harder to earn my business."

Working with GM has made my life a lot easier. I don't have any staff so I rely on them to be my back office and keep me on track. Sometimes I think they know me better than I know myself. I had 8 agents when I joined GM and now I have over 120. I copy GM in everything they do and that has helped me grow my SGA contract!"

I've finally found a partner in Gordon Marketing. I'm a refugee from two captive FMOs who took my renewals when I left. GM helped me start over and now my agency is bigger than it ever was and I own it. They have been invaluable with their marketing support, lead systems, custom training classes around the state for my team...I'm home for good."

I toughed it out in the lean years and now I'm enjoying the career I aspired to. GM told me it would be hard for 3 years and it was, but it was invaluable to have a whole support team there to keep me going and to show me what obstacles to avoid."

They can't make insurance less frustrating, but they sure do make it more fun. I really enjoy their training classes. The time just zips by and you won't find more knowledgable instructors."

I just want to thank all of you at Gordon Marketing again for inviting Jeana and I to Costa Rica.  We absolutely enjoyed our time there, but I am even more excited since I have gotten to know Gordon Marketing as an organization. I am beyond impressed with the forward thinking and professionalism of your organization, but also the ability to be a little crazy and have some fun! but more than anything it is the knowledge of products and sales techniques that you as a group offer, that has me the most excited. So again, thank you for helping me realize what you have to offer and that you can be my go to FMO in the future. 

​

We also had a great time the few extra days that we stayed in Costa Rica. We rented a car and drove up to Monte Verde and La Fortuna and spent several days relaxing and seeing the beautiful rain forests and cloud forests in the area, waterfalls, volcanoes and interesting towns. Thanks for working with us and allowing that to happen!"

This is a relationship business! One of the few busiensses where people still make housecalls and work with the same person for decades or generations. Insurance is a great business (don't quote us on that some days) and it is our pleasure to work with the hard-working, small business people who are insurance agents. Thank you for giving our family the chance to earn your business.

President, Sylvia Gordon is a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Law and brings a wealth of experience in issues affecting Seniors. Together with her sisters, Rebecca and Theresa, Gordon Marketing is unique as an old fashioned, family business, and at the same time a state-of-art modern marketing company. Rebecca has an undergraduate degree in communications from Indiana University. If you have ever sat through one of her training sessions, you will know that her parent's investment in her degree was well spent! An inventive and highly entertaining speaker, Rebecca is a very sought-after speaker and trains hundreds of agents annually around the nation. She is one of the foremost experts on the Affordable Care Act.
 
Being a second generation company has been a blessing for the Gordon Sisters, and they are very grateful to be able to work each day with their parents (semi-retired but still very active in the company) as well as their brother Frank, and all their spouses! A true "family affair" Gordon Marketing is more than just another FMO, they truly enjoy insurance sales and bring a fresh perspective to the industry. All the principals are licensed agents and still sell in the field.
They each sell the products they represent -- which makes their training advice more authentic. You can't fake it in the field.

From time to time every agent gets disillusioned with his or her FMO. "When agents contact us because they are mad at their FMO, the first thing I want to hear is why?" stated Sylvia Gordon, "because I know most of the other marketing companies and chances are the reason the agent is mad is not the other FMO's fault, but the nature of processing business, normal delays or unrealistic agent expectations. We don't want agents to feel that those things will never happen in our office--because they will. We can't control a lot of the frustrations in this industry and we are frank about that. But, we will be honest and work hard for every agent."
​
"One of the greatest things about Gordon Marketing is our ability to adapt, " remarked Rebecca Gordon, Vice President, "We have been on the national leader board for health, life and senior products. The industry keeps changing and we will change with it. Agents put their trust in us to steer them toward the right products and we take their trust very seriously!"
​
As Health Reform grips the independent agent, Gordon Marketing has been very vocal with our national political leaders about the impact the ACA will have on agents. Working behind the scenes to protect the agents who make us who we are. 
 
(So what IS an FMO? Field Marketing Office also known as an IMO, NMA and by many other terms, is a distributor of insurance products for insurance companies. We wholesale. Agents are the retail sellers of the policies and we operate in the background between the agents and the companies in a supporting role. 
 
We do what the large companies can't--or won't--do due to their size, geographic limitations and budgets. We can work with agents on a face to face basis. We travel non stop so that we can build relationships with the agents that we support. If there are agents contracted with Gordon Marketing, chances are 90% or greater that Sylvia and/or Rebecca has done a training meeting with those agents--personally!
