Got this emailed today. More for me to laugh at.

Don't they realize they are giving me a gameplan of how to work around them?

It's almost at the point that the senior market almost isn't worth the trouble. For every sale, you have to walk through a mine field. I refuse to do meetings, or, see someone at their house. I will only write senior business in my office. Even then, I guess I could still get secret shopped.

I bet you a shiny nickel that's exactly why they sent it!

I'm conducting sales seminars about every two weeks. A CMS rep usually calls me the day before the event to tell me he "might" be there. I think this is smart. It saves taxpayers dollars from being spent for him to actually attend. Put me on notice and that's all they want.

How's that working out for you? I've heard the response this year has been higher because of premium increases and plan cancellations. Avg attendee numbers vary between 12-25. Wish I had set some up.

Got off to a slow start, but it is ramping up.
