Noble sentiments, but, realistically, are you going to want to continue working in the Medicare Advantage arena when there is no continuity from year to year? Can you afford to spend 2-3 hours for appointment, not to mention the time servicing the account? I don't mean to imply that the renewal commision isn't large enough, but this whole system is predicated on there actually being renewals in subsequent years. How long does the average mapd policy stay on the books?
I suspect that there will be far fewer enrollments this AEP and OEP. Since the system is designed around churning, the less competitive carriers that relied on high first year commission to entice agents into selling their plans will be s_____d.

) after OEP, but for now I am going with the flow.
But.. the rest of the week my wife has at least 5 appts a day with current and potential clients. I'll worry about the money later. It may not be enough to feed me but I don't live on Medicare alone, and the other business I do because I help people with Medicare makes it worth the time and effort.
