Has anyone had an issue selling Medicare?

Ok. Stuart Smalley. You can sit in front of your mirror & tell yourself that a million times, but it just isn't true based on every other single thing you have said on this post

Right. That makes no sense. I definitely have no issues with any market. I'm positive and friendly and extra kind and get bombarded with hate and negativity. Only negative morons like you would react with such negativity and stupidity . Along with the bullies who are liking these posts. many of these people are extremely negative mean and hostile people or many have gotten old bitter and are angry. Oh yes every person I talk to is sensing an inner contempt I hold for the elderly behind my extreme kindness so they're being rude to me. Even idiots wouldn't be this pathetic to say that. They're the ones reacting with hate And negativity.

I'm extra polite and respectful and a decent person. I don't talk over others treat them poorly and act belligerent. These people have zero manners respect and are the rudest people out there. They're the ones who hold a contempt for me or anyone I'm sure due to their extreme negativity and lack of class respect manners. Many of these people lack the concept of basic human respect.

Most customers tend to be glad to encounter a kind agent, rep etc. they generally will show or say it. Not everyone is nice and there are jerks sometimes but the people in this situation are mostly awfully rude mean people extreme jerks, hostile, immature, belligerent, arrogant loud, obnoxious, rude and want to fight dominate and reject people. I just didn't think anything like this could ever come from a group including older people.

there's no way most of u are educated people that's for sure. You just have an insurance license which is why ur spewing inanity.

It is a shame that you have a much higher opinion of yourself than anyone else has..

Do you need a hug? From one educated, degreed, compassionate agent to whatever you think you are......go kick rocks

I agree with Vic. Generally seniors aren't rude at all. Usually, they do the opposite and lead you on and just agree when there aren't interested.

A few things that threw a red flag up for me:

"They act stupid and I have to repeat myself."

Naturally, as we age, cognition slows down.
Furthermore, people get hard of hearing.

Speaking slowly and deliberately helps resolve this. Producing information in bites and asking if they understand helps too.

I speak very fast and direct. So when I'm on the phone with a prospect, I naturally slow myself down and repeat what I say a couple of times. Then affirm they understand.

Secondly, you really have to put yourself in their shoes. They have people calling them constantly. They're targeted by scams and salespeople daily.

They don't trust you and honestly they shouldn't.

I ran a test a few months ago using a giveaway to gather interest for insurance off Facebook.

Want to know what the primary comment was, even though I had never done anything like that before?

"This is a scam"

And I was pretty shocked. I didn't go that anymore because the feedback that I consistently got made people think I was trying to trick them.

No offense, 99% of the time you are the problem. Figuring out what isn't working and evolving will make you successful in this market.

OR you can bitch at people online because they're telling you the truth and you don't like it.

Is there something wrong with these elderly people

Pretty much... they are all old.

Look at @rousemark, he ain't no spring chicken. After his initial response can you imagine meeting him at the door?!

A lot of the other guys are card carrying Medicare members too... some so old their cards are moldy.

I don't blame you, after 65 they start smelling, going blind, and become half deaf. Not to mention they move and think slower than molasses, while looking lost most of the time.

Yep... your right it's not you...

Can I ask how you made it in sales for 20 years?

And what about their negative traits too. You can't just list all the positives. On an ironic note, we get to pick one to be our president....lol

I had another agent vent to me about some clients he dealt with. He sounded like he was going nuts. Yes it's just that many of the elderly have issues are impatient rude juvenile obnoxious arrogant. It's ok if people have Alzheimer's or issues like that but some of these people possess a narcissism that you cant imagine. One client accused me and another agent of lying to him so did another. He acted rude belligerent and was just delusional. One lady was angry at another agent just bc he was doing his job a certain way and told me if anyone talked to her that way she'd backhand them. She felt the agent was putting her down and she decided not to go with the plan bc of him. I'm pretty sure she was delusional or misinterpreting things. She told me I was respectful and nice. The other agent wasn't rude to her it's just how they do the job. These people some are angry bitter and delusional. These people are out of control really. Angry rude ballistic. It seems to be the norm when dealing with these people.

I also had a client who just talked over me talked over rudely talked over me then rejected me rudely and hung up. That's the norm too with these rude people. They treat people in the most horrible way possible. Arrogant narcissistic rude mean weird. Many are beyond crazy. Many of These people are mad it seems.

The older people hear and understand everything fine. They're not idiots in fact they seem more aware than most people. They just behave like immature rude juveniles rather than mature nice adults. And yes many are really rude. No I'm not the problem I'm nice and polite and several have complimented me for being courteous and respectful while they were behaving like jerks. Some even say "I'm not trying to be RUDE" but they are. They're more aware than the avg person and purposely act like childish jerks

possess a narcissism that you cant imagine

Oh, believe me, the more you post & comment, I get a clearer & clearer image in my mind about narcissism
