AEP Benchmark Survey Results - over 170 responses!

[SarahJ]

Hi everyone, thanks so much to all 170 independent Medicare agents who completed the AEP survey at the end of last year. The results are now live!

I know a lot of agents are probably wondering “how did I compare to everyone else this AEP?!”.

You can also listen to the results on the Medicare Agent Podcast:

Out of those 71 apps in aep I have no question 30-40% of the business written is existing clients . I don’t believe the avg agent has 400 Medicare clients . Talking to several fmo’s they’d laugh at that .I do agree agents in the business longer term are in retention mode over growth . I also agree agents in the business a long time work mostly referrals. I also don’t believe the avg agent spends 1:17 with existing clients .

Oh no! So sorry, there was a typo in the URL. Here's the link to the report: https://www.thefairstreet.com/post/2023-aep-benchmark-survey-results

Is it possible to edit the original post so I can update the URL?

This guy has been in business like 2 years and knows everything. Very annoying. 90% of what he says is BS.

I do know almost everything and it’s why I’m in the top tier producing Medicare agents in the country . Nothing I say is bs . Im close to several top fmo’s and they tell me only 5% of agents right a fair amount of business . So either those 171 respondents are top agents or there bsing .

Edit - 95% BS. I wrote 371 apps during AEP and I’m not on here spouting off that I know everything after 20 years in the business. Stay in your lane.

Many of mine were to rewrite them to a better MAPD but still a ton of work and apps. Doubt you are in the top tier of agents. Maybe the agents that post on here you are. Big deal.

Not me; comparison is the thief of joy.
