That is funny!!! But with the MA season approaching. His target agent market is ripe for the taking...
My heart goes out to these poor folks who are hoodwinked into getting their license with the promise of easy money doing MA. Frank, I know you can appreciate this, and I am sure you have shared my same experiences with talking to new agents who started doing MA, and now trying to figure out how they are going to make a living selling insurance now that the Gold Rush is over. As if in a 20-minute phone conversation or an email I am going to be able to teach them how to be successful selling FE, or Med Sup ect. Because that was probably the extent of training that they had before they began slinging PFFS plans.
They are now forced with the task of actually collecting money, and or getting bank info for premium drafts. That can be a heavy task when your not used to asking for premium, or doing the other things to be a successful Independent Agent...
I agree, my heart also goes out to them to the point of almost feeling sorry for them.
Even though there has never been such a thing as a "free lunch" there are tons of people out there looking for a get rich quick gig.
The recruitment tactics of marketing organizations and agency owners really makes me sick sometimes. Ads like:
SHOW ME THE MONEY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Earn $150,000 first year working part time from home in your underwear. (It doesn't even have to be clean.)
Give health insurance away to Seniors. No money to collect, they don't have to pay premiums. Send in a signed application and receive a check within 15 minutes.
Contact "Stickit Up Yourbutt Agency". Turn in 25 apps and you will be a member of our "Break It Off" exclusive producers club. Among the benefits you will receive is the right to move to the front of the unemployment line.
That ain't right. Once again I'm holding back.
