Not sure what you are looking for from those of us that have already given advice and answered your questions. Sadly there is nothing more you can learn from us until you look in the mirror. I'm guessing that you are still too young to be able to empathize with the people that you want to work with. Since you cannot open your eyes inward to see your role in the negativism being directed at you, then I agree that this is not the business for you. These seniors look to us, not only for knowledge, but also friendship and understanding for the time we're together. Best of luck in your future.
Has anyone had an issue selling Medicare?

I think ur very confused. I have no attitude except kindness towards them. They are rude and very mean literally. They know I'm kind and rather than being friendly or nice they are very very mean. It's a rudeness that I've never experienced before. They will steal your soul and Ive been in sales for 22 years and no customers are this cruel or mean. they react to kindness with anger. The min I answer the phone some of them respond with an angry MM HMMM! maybe they're jealous of me But I'm just a random
voice and person how much jealousy can u feel for someone.
No one cares if they're old people anyone can be evil or mean. They are all very aware of their behaviors and most of it is talking over you non stop, rudely cutting you off constantly, yelling at you being overly mean verbally abusive or nasty. Many just put you down for no reason. They rudely tell you to speak clearly and I'm very articulate. They cut u off over and over angrily. Most behave like out of control 15 year olds very juvenile mean rude disrespectful. No one is as rude as these people. their behavior is beyond abusive. They show extreme disrespect and are uninhibited in their rude behavior.
they criticize your speaking abilities in the meanest way possible and I speak very well. Many of them mumble and speak poorly- however they're the ones putting u down no one knows why. People call me and market I don't start yapping at them and terrorizing them rudely- I just hang up. They have no right to treat anyone this way. They sit on the phone just to be jerks too and harass people. Only a tiny percentage are nice or civil. They are narcissistic entitled and the rudest people u will ever encounter. The level of disrespect they show is something I can't describe. They will keep cutting u off until they've drained your energy and do it on purpose. They'll repeat something over and over and force you to keep saying yes? Yes? They talk down to u as if you're stupid or speaking another language.
Many times I leave conversations in shock and floored or can't handle the level of nonsense going on. A lady was so rude to me I couldn't function the rest of the day. Some will keep you on the phone just to reject you in the end in a rude way and hang up to be mean. These are not the elderly with dementia or something they're just random people over 65. This is unheard of nonsense and it's not fair to those encountering these people. No one deserves to be treated this way or should put up with this.
The people I speak to who arent 65 and who have disability are very different. They're respectful and nice and civil. When I talk to someone who isn't 65 or over anyone in their 40s or 50s they're pretty nice and appreciate my kindness and reciprocate back nicely. I'm in so much shock now they're nice to me I feel some gratefulness inside. That's how bad the abuse from these mean older people is.
it's affecting my life I'm starting to be unable to cope with some of their behavior. At first I had self esteem issues bc of the level of insults I got by them of anything possible. I was starting to get nervous socializing with people bc they made me feel like there was something wrong with my voice. Im still having a fear of socializing with people and losing my confidence. At first I just thought ok maybe old people just don't like me? I'm super kind and nice so it was baffling. But the level of unnecessary hate they show is confusing. I've been in sales for a very long time and was a top seller in most positions and have never had anyone personally insult me at all much less any level of abuse or brutality but these older people are another story. I've conversed with thousands of people but talking to these people is a nightmare esp all day. Every person I speak with is another psycho of some sorts who chips away at my self worth. What are they getting from being this mean or abusive anyway. Not a single person I've talked to has been remotely friendly maybe a few are passive. The rest are the most abusive hateful people I've ever encountered. If everyone you speak with insults u in some way things can be difficult.
I have never encountered people this malicious and mean in my life. These old people are not nice good people they're entitled evil people. They are not stupid either many are more aware than younger people. They're aware of their malicious behavior and have no issue being this way. Despite being older they have an arrogance you can't imagine. They think they're better than you and others and display that. I've sold anything to anyone out there and the randomly elderly people Are the rudest. And yep it's most of them. No wonder doctors are so miserable I get it now.

I cannot believe you are kind to them. You have not said one thing kind about them in all your posts.
You do not think there is a reason you are the only one on here that deals with seniors on a regular basis that is having this problem? Believe me, the problem ain't the arrow or the bow.
What is funny (strange) about all of this....literally, no other agent complains about this as the rest of us find this is not the case. So, either you don't know what you are doing or you are just a troll making this up. Either way, you are wasting our time because you are not listening to the possible solutions to your dilemma, if it actually exists. You have ignored every and all advice given to you. All you seem to want to do is to repeat yourself over and over again.
So, if this problem does actually exist, the problem is obviously you (obvious to everyone but you). Now if the problem with this whole scenario is just that you're trolling for kicks, then you are still the problem!

after almost 25 years in the business & "relatively young in my early 50s", I would take a full schedule of age 60-85 all day, every day over any other age bracket. I have found them to be the most appreciative of the effort to educate & not sell & are blown away with the pro bono suggestions & referrals that have nothing to do with products I or the agents I mentored were selling. they rarely blow off a scheduled appointment, they go & follow through quickly on getting needed documents, processes done & many times tell family & friends about how great it was. And on some occasions, they give you gifts they are so appreciative.
Contrast that to chasing non-stop young parents & business owners that are extremely busy or distracted that it can take numerous scheduled appointments to finally run an actual appointment.
All age groups need our products & services, but I by far prefer the over 60 age group.
But, then again, I was getting involved with existing relationships or extremely warm referrals. If you are getting in the door based on some false pretense & trying to pivot, I would likely be on the phone messing with you too as a reverse prank--cause that is just how juvenile I can be to people who start with 1 approach & change the story later as if I am just a # to them.
If you are as good as you say you are, a new marketing plan might be warranted so you don't start every relationship on the wrong foot.

That's quite a lot of negativity directed toward an entire segment of the population. If you don't think these feelings impact the way you speak to them, you're kidding yourself. I'm willing to bet you go into every call at this point expecting something negative and it comes through whether you think it does or not.
Best thing for you to do is take a break. It might also be helpful to get a clear understanding of how the leads are derived. One of two things are happening, the people developing the leads (if they are telemarketed) likely get paid on the number of transfers they make which leads to high pressure and misleading information. Or, the lead is being sold to multiple agents and they are being bombarded with calls. Imagine getting a dozen calls within about 30 minutes time all for the same reason. You'd probably be pissed by the third or fourth call, let alone the 10th. It doesn't matter what age you are, you'd be frustrated.
Haven't seen your review on You Tube yet..

The moment you used this word, I knew it was about you and not them. Only people with a chip on their shoulders see entitlement in others.
