This is a follow up to the Free Training thread I started a couple of months ago.
I’ve received a lot of calls and PM’s from agents asking what the training consists of so here is a quick overview.
I have put together a Med Supp Marketing System (MSMS), of about forty pages that covers all aspects of Medicare, Medicare Supplement, how to present it, deal with objections and sell it.
Unlike some other training information that may be available, the MSMS represents sixteen years of trial and error, intensive study/research and constant updating to keep abreast of the ever changing market. Each agent who requests training receives a copy.
Training starts with a 2+ hour phone call between the agent and me. During that time we discuss any questions the agent has regarding the documents they have received or about the senior market. The information in the MSMS is pretty straight forward and at that time generally does not require a substantial amount of time to discuss. I prefer to spend the bulk of the time training the agent how to use the phone and set appointments.
I ask the agent, at the conclusion of that call, to reread the MSMS and this time to not only read it but digest it and write down specific questions they have. After they have gone through the entire document I suggest that they call me a second time so I can address and go into greater detail regarding the questions they have. The time spent during that call is determined by how many questions the agent has.
From that point forward I tell the agent he/she can call me anytime they encounter a question or situation that they either don’t know the answer to or the best way to handle.
Not using the phone and trying to do all of this by e-mail would not produce satisfactory results for the agent. It is in the agent's best interest that we actually discuss the process.
E-mail does not replace a “real” conversation.
Once again, this is free for any agent who is using "Your Insurance Office" (YIO).
