People are turning 65 everyday and also losing group coverage on a regular basis as well. So Medicare supplements are not seasonal.
Is Medicare Supplement Sales Seasonal?

I can't imagine starting up for four months and then boarding-up for the remaining eight months. Agents lose their edge when they start and stop – I know this all too well. Just like taking a dip in the ocean -- It's better to get all the way in rather than half-way.
One could start October 15th to get in front of the wave. Medicare Advantage sales and requests to return to Original Medicare can begin November 15th. Why wait till January? By waiting you will have lost January and a major portion of your potential market (>20%)?
Getting into the Medicare market without proper preparation can be a disaster. This market is very fluid and it is best to buckle your seatbelts with the turbulence ahead. Expect more regulations to appear that will severely handicap the ill informed agent.
Stephen R. Covey said it best when he said; "In these difficult economic times you'll need a new tool set, mind set, and skill set, in order to survive."

Are there any trainers you could recommend for Medicare training?

Frank Stastny. I believe he is offering training right now on Medicare related business.
I also live in SW FL, and if you would like I can sit down with you and help you get up to speed on how Medicare Supplements, MA, and PDP's work. Feel free to call me or email me

Does this mean we will have to trade in our standard socket set for metric??? Reminds me of an old (stupid) joke: What is the difference between a standard and metric screwdriver? ANSWER: vodka

No -- As you're well aware, today, you need both Metric and Standard.
Please post more facts JSA (FMO) and less bait. I apreciate Ritter because he is not here lurking for leads. At least not with every other post. I think we all want more business. Yet, this Forum is all about knowledge and the sharing of it. When someone asks a question -- answer it. I'm leary of (FMO) posters who asks for a phone call so as to have a private conversation off the Forum. On this post defenerzeta asked for it and that is OK. Yet on another post Jdeasy asked for a simple answer on Family life and you offered a personal conversation. It just looks a little cheesy!

I have never found that economic conditions have ever had an impact on my Med Supp sales.
I'm still using the same set of tools that I have been using ever since I began selling Med Supps Even after all of the proposed changes take place, I will still be using the same basic tools. I can see no logical reason to go out and buy new ones when the ones I have get the job done.
I like your answer.
