I currently work in telesales selling AARP supp & RX plans as well as AARP Delta dental plans. I've been doing this for 4 years and I'm pretty good at it...I think lol (my best month I sold 126 plans). I'm usually in the top 25 selling agents.
Anyway the company has started messing around with our scorecards and I'm seeing my bonus get smaller and smaller. I usually only get a $900 bonus but with recent changes I'll only be getting a $600 bonus...per month. I also only make a little over $16/hour. But I get to work from home, I get a 4% match on my 401k, and I get to buy UHG stock at a 5% discount. All in all I make right around $40,000/year, not including the stock of course.
I've been talking with the agent manager for my area (Orlando FL) and contemplating going to be a captive independent agent.
My big concern is that I HAVE to contribute to the family bank. My hubs and I owned a dog daycare for 8 years and it took all of our savings, Roth, 401k. We got out of it with our sanity and marriage lol.
I know during AEP I would be pretty busy but do you think the rest of the year would keep money coming in? I am a realist and don't expect to make gobs of money. I just need to make as much as I do now. If I make more, excellent! I just can't afford to make a wrong decision again...the dog daycare was my idea...which would have been a great idea if we didn't open it a year before the economy took a nosedive! lol.
I really appreciate any advice you guys can toss my way.
