I'm definitely going to be leaving Assurance, but I have to wait a few months to be released from them so I can reappoint w/ Humana/UHC/Wellcare, etc. So in the meantime, my plan was to make some sales with Assurance while I can still get the daily pay and then use that money for buying leads. I already have the CRM, phone recording setup, quote/enroll platforms, etc.
Right now I am working w/ Ritter and I'm contracted w/ Care Source, Devoted, Medical Mutual of Ohio, MediGold, SummaCare, and Zing Health. (I know, probably not a lot of people selling these MA plans but it's what I have to work with). And then for Med. Supp. I have Aflac, Allstate, American Benefit Life, Bankers Fidelity, GTL, Manhattan Life, Mutual of Omaha, Heartland, and Medico.
I'm licensed in IL (resident state), IA, WI, MI, OH, VA, SC, TX, NM, WA, MN. I am only licensed in those states because I didn't know what I was doing at the time I got them and they were cheap. When I'm working with Assurance, I make nearly all of my sales in OH, TX, SC.
I have never sold Medicare Supplement policies since Assurance always discouraged it. But from what I've seen and heard from other coworkers it sounds like something I'm really interested in. It also sounds like what I would personally want to have when I'm at that age (if medicare still exists by then, who knows) rather than a Medicare Advantage plan which I know may work for a lot of people but to me it just seems like a bad deal.
I'm going to start reaching out to some more experienced agents to get some mentoring/training for selling Medicare Supplement since this is obviously all new to me. I just wanted some opinions on this so I have some kind of idea of what actual medicare insurance agents think/do, etc. since I'm basically coming from a call center. And I also want to manage my expectations. I have *some* experience, but I know not nearly as much as the rest of you.
