Insurance Newbie Breaking into Senior Market

[Nimos]

Hello,

I'm brand new to the industry (still studying for my license) and would like to focus on the senior market, especially Med Supp. Since I am brand new I need to get some good training and/or a mentor to help me. I'm looking at Senior Solutions and I've read about them on this site. It seems to be a mixed bag except for the guy in Dallas who had a really bad time.

It is very important to me that I help people rather than just sell people. I want to make sure that Senior Solutions offers products that are beneficial to people.

I see that Frank is a great resource but I'm not sure someone so green could start out through him so I thought I'd throw this post out there. I'm concerned about being captive but I think that I cannot immediately start out as an indy, which is my ultimate goal.

I also don't want to put people in products that are not beneficial or cost effective for them. I tried to figure out which companies Penn Life uses on the IL website but I can't find where this info is located. I made it as far as the State of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation but don't know where to look from there. I did, however, find a great brochure: Medicare Supp. Premium Comparison Guide which I can use to help educate myself.

Once again I'm working on the avenues suggested in various threads, however, I believe all the reading in the world will not be as effective as having a mentor/trainer of some type.

I plan on working, working, working to become a knowledgeable asset to my potential customers. I study this website and I've learned so much. Everyone says don't be a captive but most started out that way. It appears I have no choice at the beginning. How do I make sure I don't get bit when I leave and I can't sell what I had before?

Is there another company I should try to go after? I'd really like to work with a seasoned independent to mentor me in the senior market but I don't know where to find someone locally. Everyone seems to be calling Frank and I didn't want to put him on the spot without putting this out there first.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. I hope to provide expertise to others newbies later in my career.

Over the last six months, I have been working on a turnkey system for people that want to get involved in the Medicare Supplement/Advantage market.

While it includes the education you need on Medicare, etc., the most valuable part is a marketing system that encompasses five different "how-to" lead and prospect generating methods - complete with examples, samples, methods and strategies that I have tested and used myself.

There will also be phone and email support.

It's not quite ready to be released yet. I demand a very high quality product. If interested when it's done, shoot me a PM so I can let you know.

Your ideal situation would be to have someone local that you can contract under and use as a mentor. You can also buy Frank's YIO program and benefit from his training as well.

Before you SIGN anything, I would get all the details and call Frank and run it past him. He has a good smeller on him and will tell you if it stinks.

There are some GREAT local opportunities but also more really bad ones. You are too green to know the difference. The good ones are usually harder to find. The bad ones will find you.

That's one of my concerns--not knowing who to trust.

I'd love to contract under a local agent but don't know how/where to find one. I'm in the Chicago suburbs so if anyone has any networking out here let me know.

Moonlight--I'll keep your opportunity in mind as well.

So you'll be sure to keep it a secret from the rest of us, right?
