Will Commissions Be Cut for Medicare Under the Reform?

[VolAgent]

Frank, it was MOO that cut my commissions from 20% to 15% in 2004 and from 15% to the present 13% in 2007. Since SMS (SeniorMarketSales.com) is in the "food chain" between me and MOO, perhaps they had something to do with it?

With my health clients aging and nearing age 65 in increasing numbers, it's probably a good time to seriously look at getting the middle-man (SMS) out of the equation if they're tapping my income, yet providing no value. Thanks a million for the compensation insight Frank!

I know a guy who I believe works for the same outfit. Very similiar name if nothing else. They provide pre-set appointments and he takes a very low commission on MA and MS plans. But at least he knows he is getting hosed on the compensation.

I have worked every kind of "lead" imaginable and I have found any of them worth giving up 5 to 10 points in commission.

That ain't right!
