You don't agree with him so you've determined he shouldn't post them here? Who died and left you in charge?
Well he's been here a WHOLE month. ha

You're missing the point of the whole post here, I think.
While I do agree that time is money, sometimes you just don't have quite enough money to buy leads. You have to buy cheap lists (scrubbed against the DNC of course), and cold call.
What if an agent just starting out only has a couple hundred bucks to invest in leads of some sort? Is he going to buy mailers? Not at that price.
Cold calling is so 1980's. To say that it "works" is disingenuous. Blockbuster worked until it didn't.
Make no mistake about it, cold calling still works in 2013...
It's particularly effective in the b2b arena, but folks still do well with it in the b2c arena.
The "newbie individual med supp agent" that is reading this thread can take the advice of a paramedic and a Cold Calling List vendor or they can take the advice of experienced insurance agents who are actively writing policies everyday in the senior market.
Two questions if I may.
1. What would you like to say to the agents on here that are currently using cold calling to sell Medicare supplements to seniors every week?
2. What would you suggest as an alternative?
Per the title, this thread is aimed at the "Med Supp newbie." To tell an individual newbie agent that cold calling is a good idea is not just a bad opinion, its a lie.
