BTW, going to Reno this weekend.
I sure hope when I grow up I don't have a gambling habit like yours. I would never waste my money on such foolishness.
I would rather waste my money at the local Asian massage parlor.

man i thought those were just suggestions.....didnt realize I was supposed to follow those rules?!?!?!
Holy Cow, I just finished my certification for the privilege to be able to enroll people in Medicare Advantage. My head is still spinning with the overwhelming number of acronyms that are used in this business. I trust that I will be able to retain enough to be effective.
The marketing regulations that are a bit concerning are:
An Agent cannot conduct marketing through unsolicited conduct including:
Door to door soliciting
Leaving door hangers
Cold calling on the phone
Another one that puzzled me in the ethics guidelines:
An agent shall not engage in any discriminatory activity such as, attempts to recruit Medicare beneficiaries from higher income areas without comparable efforts to enroll beneficiaries from lower income areas....
I will say that they never did stipulate what I could drive or what I could wear when I go out and meet with these people, but maybe that is still yet to come.
I am not sure I am going to be able to get over this feeling of being smothered by Big Brother with this Medicare Advantage business. Trouble is, we have a 5 star MAPD here in our backyard that has dominate market share, I am afraid that without having it in my bag I would be leaving a lot of business behind.
Good news is I took the course and passed the exam in just a few hours. Bad news is I almost feel like I have handed over my soul to the devil. Is this how people that work at the DMV feel?
Gotta go take a shower...
I remember this past AEP, during one company's face to face training, a girl just couldn't quite get past the idea that she thought it was legal to door knock. The trainer just kept saying, "no, it is not legal". She was so confused but failed to realize that this class and all the studying she was doing was only referring to MA plans.
I told her later it had NOTHING to do with Med Supps. You can door knock, cold call and all that other good stuff.
Then she said what if they don't want a med supp?

Be careful even with the door knocking for other products. I was following up on a FE lead and left a note when the lady was not home. Someone complained on her behalf that I was marketing Medicare advantage door to door and now I am having issues with the state and United Healthcare over it.
We have one in CA, Kaiser. Agents are not allowed to sell it. Bummer.

Seriously, if you have a 5 star plan in your backyard and are not appointed with them, you may be losing business pretty quick.
