Through my research and a mistake on their part, this company, "Apex-Elite" is connected with "Senior Healthcare Consultants", a Dallas based company that has much written about them on the web in various forums. Please do your homework. If Apex-Elite is run the same way SHC was, then I seriously urge you to proceed with a tremendous amount of caution and healthy skepticism. "Caveat Emptor".

Not doubting you, but can you verify this? lf this is true, I was wondering how long it would take until SHC would create another name.

What was the offer from MoO? Was it 100% commission or a base salary plus commission? Wondering...

It is a decreasing base salary during your first year and is not a loan that you have to repay if you leave. You are paid commissions during the first year and the % increases as your base decreases.
I did not get into exact weekly base amts. or comm. % because I ended discussions with them after it became apparent they wanted a new rep to focus mostly on financial services and products.

WOW !!! Called that number and lets just say there seems to be some shady stuff going on here first she says yes we are SHCC and are Apex elite (one in the same) when speaking with her I told her a friend in the biz had gave me her number and name . I asked so you would want me to ccome to Tx for a week and she said yes and changed the subject quickly she seemed nervous and asked if I was in there system ( I too have been contacted by them and have been researching there company thats what lead me here) By the end of the call she said there not SHCC I said I would need to check my email for the name of who I had been talking too (it was to shady of a convo I was ready to get off) I have tired to call back to get someone else to ansewer but no ones picking up ! Ok they just picked up and said this is customer service I asked is this SHCC customer service she got all umm umm and hung up .
Thank you for saving me time and money ! These guys are shady !

Oh and FYI I know from my start in the biz 5 years ago that customer service for these types of places are always in house I started with a company called F&RHC outta TX not as shady but about as bad as these . SO Iam sure there having a little meeting right now about what to say and what not to say over the phone now . I love how when they answer its just customer service and not the name of the company since there is more than one company coming out of that little office in TX .
I have worked for Genworth not a bad company but they have restructured alot over the past year and I had a divorce going on at the time andd took time off . I am ready to get back in the game but you would think its like pulling teeth to get with a decent company with leads , a good reputation and products in my area . I hate to say it but about about to throw in the towel with this career . Anyways again thanks guys for saving me on this one !

I called the above number, it rang about 7 times and someone finally picked and said "customer service", I said is this Senior Healthcare Consultants Customer Service"? She replied whom are you looking for? I said Senior Healthcare Consultants? "That is us" she replied.
Stay way from these clowns.. This individual was very nervous that someone was looking for SHC.

If your in Ohio i can help you out. TLC Insurance Group can help you get started as far as getting you some of the companies you need to have to be competitive with everyone else. They do alot of training in house and with webinars. You can get into some good marketing deals they have with a couple carriers where they will supplement half the cost for you. They also have a couple of lead companies you can buy leads from that have worked well in the past for me. With AEP so close the last thing you want is to be captive. You would be leaving so much business on the table, and by selling one company you are not serving your clients best interest. After you contact TLC, go to Ritter and Senior Market Sales for GPM LIFE and Philadelphia American/ New Era, get licensed in two other states because no Ohio cold calling. The best leads your going to get are the ones you can make on your own, cold calling is still the most effective way to do it. The one thing you'll learn about leads is that 95% of the ones you'll call you have to convince them to listen to you anyways. The person who contacted them is a minimum wage employee and is not going to have the same knowledge you will. Telemarketing lead companies exist because cold calling works, and it will save you a bundle to do it yourself. All the training you need is right here in the forum, and in the books you get from the carriers. You really don't need the classroom training your looking for. Just the drive and determination to learn it yourself.
