Shark proof

I get it is hard to believe that someone posting anonymously here has been in the medicare health plan biz since 1992 but its true.Not here to network .When i started with Combined Insurance in 1992 my manager/mentor that trained me to sell medicare supplements was very good at it but he really hated Humana Plus choice plans or whatever they called it back then and he would pull out all the scare tactics when we came across a prospect who had it.Took me a few years to realize that the Humana plan was actually good -for some people and that the same shoe don't fit on every shoe.

holy crap 1972 i didn't know insurance had been invented by then?lol

Just saying somarco could win more friends and influence more people if he had more of an open mind and not put down ma agents on every post.

It hadn't. I just figured I'd start anyway.

And it's more like every 3rd post.

I don't come here to win friends . . . got enough already.

Nor do I recruit. Been there, done that.

And I don't have to use scare tactics, lies or threats to write business. Never had to do that in almost 50 years of insurance sales (mostly health).

I find that the truth works better than all the bullshit most agents toss around.

If someone doesn't like to read what I post, put me on ignore. I probably have them on ignore anyway.

That's weird - Advantage/Select plans didn't exist until 1997. I, too, started with Combined, 1993 for me.

So is it true that Combined use to have an accident policy that paid double if you died in a burning elevator?

I remember hearing that way too many years ago.

1978 for me. When I first starting selling Med Supps, Pioneer Life and UA ruled the roost. 60-70% first year commissions were the norm. I miss the good ole days.
