Going to feed my unicorn now.
Lead costs are up. More and more agents doing telesales, more and more cross-selling ACA and Medicare, and more and more failing out. That's just in the few years since I started FE.
All that being said, business is very good!
Telesales and fe is only good for the marketers, FE and x-selling medicare is probably the best way to roll now

Been good for me. I'm trying to slow down a bit. And I have. But I had my first $300K year last year. Pretty close to that pace thru the first quarter. I made CEO level again with KSKJ. Was in PR with them a month ago.
Well ahead of CEO pace with them right now.
Still getting 15 DM leads per week. But going to turn that down soon. FEX's 10 year anniversary is in June. I was the first agent to sign up with them when they started.
So I'm looking forward to the symposium this year. The anniversary makes it extra special.
I don't have the problems making appointments that some here seem to have.
But neither do the other FEX agents. You just don't hear the problems on our groupme chats and calls that you read about here.
There's some challenges now but nothing like you read about here.
I don't dabble in Medicare. I wrote my last MA plan in Feb 2009. I used to do 20-25 sups per year. Hardly any now. I would prefer to never write another med sup.
But sometimes I get talked into it. I wrote 2 in 2022.
I'll write the occasional CI plan on current clients that ask for it. I don't prospect for those.
May be more info than you asked for.

I've always found it interesting that so many producers have "something" or "someone" to blame. Whatever it is, they always have reasons why they are not (more) successful. That said, I sometimes meet top producers in other fields -- FE, medicare, group health, individual health, and so on -- and the top 1% are just that...the top 1%!!! No excuses, no nonsense. They just do it. Yes, I know there are people who have an edge that others don't, but that's more the exception than the rule.
You want to be successful, there are ways to get there. Yes, you might not have what it takes, but if you do, the blame game, the finger pointing, etc., is a cop-out. If you have what it takes, the answer(s) are right in front of you to write $1mm or $2mm in premium, or $5mm in premium. Whatever your number is...if you have what it takes, there are ways to get there.

This is something I have saved on my phone in my notes. I don't know the author;
It's about staying the course. Not everything is going to translate the next day and the next week and the next month. You're not going to go at a steady uphill the whole time. You're going to go down. You're going to hit a plateau. You're going to be stuck for a little bit. But no matter what, as long as you keep getting better, working hard, whatever it is you're doing and whatever situation, you will get there!
I'm still worried that you just don't have what it takes to make it in this business.
Seriously though. Congrats. It's called busting ass and following the plan.
Here's an idea. Years ago, you posted on here a more detailed description of what your typical week looks like. How many appts, what days you run appts, etc.
Why not post it again for some of the newer guys that haven't seen it?
That s good stuff there, 10 years, man did that go fast, I'm really thinking of just stopping actively marketing medicare because of all the bs and ramp up fe again, fex still the right place to be for the fixed price leads and support
