Would you care to share the DM methods you use?
PM me if you like. I might have some online methods that would complement your offline marketing ad vice versa.

Seminars and sitting in kiosks are two ways some cash strapped agents get started in MA.
I've never done either. I had a good book of individual health business before I got serious about MA. I did OK just selling to my clients who were aging in.
I've heard success stories from agents who have done seminars. Not so much with kiosks. Some of the more successful agents only do seminars.
Another way around the PTC rules is to connect with a broker who doesn't sell in the Medicare market. If they have an existing business relationship they can call.
Maybe you can telemarket for them in exchange for any MA sales.
"Hello Mrs. Gordon, I'm ___ calling on behalf of your agent ______. Do you have any questions about your ____ policy? ...
____ will be in your area next week and would like to go over your options with you...
... I noticed that you will be turning 65 soon. Is that right? Would you like to receive information about Medicare?"
I do not know if this is complaint, but if it is, you can generate leads for the other agent for the lines he or she sells and get the MA leads as compensation.
The agent has to trust you, but if they do, (and this idea is compliant) you can set up annual review appointments for the other agent and you'll both make out.
This will not work in Ohio.
