As we leave the 2024 enrollment period, the ladies stress the necessity of evaluating what works and pivoting to more effective strategies. Joanna emphasizes refining actions proactively, while Kathe advises maintaining an inventory of time and actions to ensure maximum productivity. They underline the value of carrier training sessions, which mitigate inefficiencies and frustrations in handling applications, thereby keeping your operations smooth and profitable.
Joanna passionately advocates for diversifying services. It's essential not just to focus solely on Medicare but to include products like critical illness and hospital indemnity insurance. Cross-selling has proved financially beneficial for many agents, with some doubling their income. Kathe is gearing up for a cross-selling training in Houston, spotlighting annuities and life insurance.
Reflecting on the last AEP, Kathe reveals the pitfalls of handling numerous requests for Personalized Drug Plan reviews. Both hosts resonate on this challenge, discussing the frustrations of non-commissionable plan enrollments and advocating for self-sufficiency in learning through consistent training. They suggest using systems and automation to avoid manual errors in scheduling, as well as recording training sessions for future reference.
A key theme throughout the discussion is balancing business profitability with providing necessary services. Kathe and Joanna stress the financial impracticality of taking on pro bono work without compensation. They highlight the need to prioritize tasks that yield productive outcomes. Joanna and her assistant have developed a system, including a document to streamline client communications and set boundaries on service limitations.
Finally, the hosts shed light on the importance of prospecting and advocating for clients. Training agents to overcome fear and actively seek business is crucial. The episode ends with the poignant reminder that selling Medicare isn't merely about making a sale – it’s about providing necessary services and protecting clients from potential financial risks.
