Medicare Marketing Cost for New Agents
- Thread starter Tscholar
- Start date
Probably depends on (a) targets and (b) sweat equity.
Depends on the vol you want to do . Depends on how you want to do it .Some people do seminars at library’s and other places . That takes a long time to get that rolling but it’s cheap . For low income some people work food banks or Walmarts .If you want to do direct mail to write 25 a month in the off season will take $5k a month min . If you work t-65 seminars at restaurants that’s at least $7500 a month and it will take you a yr to get to that vol . The cheapest way is telesales with Facebook leads . But you’ll be working a lot of low income with terrible persistency

Minimum $500 per week. $1000 is better. Put in monthly, 2k-4k.
An affordable option is to buy a data list and put in over 64's and cold call them. $50 a month and you can download 50,000 names / numbers. Cheaper way to build experience.

That's how I started with Medicare. Bought a list of ages 67-78 with minimum income filters calling about supplements.
Today I do it a little different. Since MA penetration is higher than it was when I started, I add a HIP and just pivot if they have an advantage plan.
Another good one is aged leads. It takes an average of 7 touches before a lead is ready to buy. Most agents don't have the cojones to call 7 times.
With seniors getting 25 calls a day I’m shocked cold calling still works . How you calling with aged leads with the do not call list ?Wether anyone abides by it aged Facebook or telemarketing leads will be illegal in a few months

Seniors are not getting 25 calls a day nor anywhere near that. I am one. I don't get 5 a month.
You have 90 days to call an aged lead if they inquired thru a lead card or website. I never buy aged leads that old.
As far as the new regs, the reputable lead companies will adapt and change. There will always be a way.
Are you saying DonP exaggerates? Never thought I would see that.
I’ve been in literally 100’s of houses were they show me there phone missed calls and there’s lines and lines of them . I’ve been in 100’s of houses over the yrs were in the hr I’m there the phone rang 10 times .Hell I’ve answered 20-30 of them for them and played along . These aren’t all Medicare of course . Many are fe and other things . These are lower income people so they get hammered harder . But I still stick by what I said . Few people answer calls from unknown people .The new law about to take place says you must have 1 to 1 consent .So that means no more selling any lead a second time no matter if it’s 30 days old or 1 yr . Will lead company’s abide by this . I highly doubt it . Know you can knock on all these doors. So the kead vendor will have a disclosure to protect themselves

Caveat, I am not an agent.
I am a senior with a landline on the DNC.
25 calls a day would be strong, especially after the first of the year.
I'm reasonably sure I've had days, not every day, but some days, over the last 2-4 weeks where I've had 5-6 calls a day from unavailable numbers.
(Nov-Dec last year would have been much higher.)
