This is surprising to me that you could get a decent showing with these. In my area we have many agencies (state and local), health care companies, and insurance companies doing these seminars. I could name about 15 off the top of my head who do these on a regular basis. Is it the same in your area?

Yep. It’s the same everywhere. Plenty of business to go around. If it works, other people will do it.

Around here Oak Street Health (for profit senior clinic, corporate is in Chicago) appears to have relationships with just a couple of carriers as they invite those to their clinic to sell (they have to be in the non-patient area however the local one gets away with not doing that on a technicality as they very visible from the lobby through glass doors).

They go around to senior huds (about half in those are dual eligible) and run workshops with free food, bingo with mostly cleaning supplies as prizes, etc. They were bought fairly recently by I forget whom and AARP lends their name to them. Surprisingly UHC is not usually whom they flog. They are big Humana fans around here (and also try to convince people to switch to them for primary care).

But back to the point, finding avenues you have the right market and can come up with a reason why they should come (or, depending on your point of view, bribe them to come) you might get people that way. Not sure what the yield is though as in senior hud many come for the free stuff.

Same. I used to do them during open enrollment. Out of 7 seminars, I’d get an average of 1, maybe 2 people per seminar. Some had 0. Closed maybe 2 people total. Was a waste of time, at least in my area.
