Medicare Agent Training - Ritter, Todd King, etc...

Even at that, it's a paid site, and the person on the other end, their voice, their questions, their personality, are being used for training - and if they didn't give permission, it may not be "OK."

Now, I know it happens frequently, and other "trainers" have put their calls online, edited and cut - but that doesn't make it right.

I can almost guarantee that 99.999% of those "training" calls - the agent did not ask the prospect if it was OK for them to use their conversation to "train" other agents on how to sell properly.

I don't see how this is a problem if it's on a paid, private site. People are recorded all the time unknowingly. That's the way of the world. Every time you stop at a light the government takes a picture of you.

Having said that, these conversations should always have last names and personal details edited, which is easy to do, and I've never seen anyone who doesn't do this. Of course, there are some states with laws that prohibit this but I don't live in one and I can't say I understand the paranoia surrounding it.

I can almost guarantee that you'd never get in trouble for it.

That still doesn't make it right.

If I'm talking with Jane Smith about her medicare supplement options, then I want to use my conversation with her on a website, training other agents, then I would think it would be best to get Jane's OK. That one extra step is just part of doing things right, imho.

Jane Smith might not want the world to hear her talking to you about vaginal suppositories or female Viagra when you ask her what she's taking.

If she starts telling you about those things, I don't think it's the insurance she's interested in.

Todd would know all about dry giners. He's done 90 year olds to make the sale.

Instead of a training site, it'll turn into a porn site. Might get more traffic.

I was told early in my career that you have to make sacrifices to be successful. I figure that's just one of those sacrifices!

contracting, and quote engine for a new agent just getting their feet wet in the business. Does one provide better service, training, support, tools, commissions, etc... than the other?

Go with Todd. The other guy's a lying snake.
