nsurance, and particularly the Medicare business, is a great industry. This is an industry where you can use a three digit commission to earn a four or five digit monthly income, which produces a six or seven figure annual income. Insurance has a low barrier to entry. No college education required. It's an industry that requires initially time rather than a lot of money. Do you have the time? Are you willing to sacrifice to make it happen? Do you have a dream of a better life? Do you like people? Are you coachable? If you are interested in pursuing a career as an independent Insurance Professional, then you are in the right place.

OK, I know and you know veterans are convinced that if they have any of these benefits, they don't need or can't get anything further from Medicare. The first response you get is "I'm good, I got VA". This podcast is to help you to be able to help veterans go from good to better, if it fits them. Join me with Colonel Cullen Wright and Joanne French, Advocate Health, as they explain the integration of Veteran benefits and Medicare. Leave a comment.

Long time friends and associates, Rick Vega and Deb Pecoraro join me in this special podcast to share what success in Medicare looks like for them.  These two wonderful people decided a long time ago that they wanted to help the consumer more than they wanted to help the corporate office.  The results, a thriving Medicare business built on trust, honesty and runs on referrals.  When you want to see success look at this video and learn from Rick and Deb what success in life really looks like.  Thanks.

I am joined by none other than the "what's up" guy, Christian Brindle as he announces his latest book, Superstar.  Christian has written after a few years of contemplating and compiling a book about the top 1% of sales people.  Christian explains that this book is not just for insurance, but, the principles and the characteristics of the top 1% earners can be applied to any industry. The success of an individual starts with mindset and the book gives the pattern for a positive mindset.

This episode is about retaining and maintaining customers no matter what time of the year it may be.  Retention is an important part of building residual income in your business.  Listen and prepare to maintain customer trust throughout all enrollment periods.  Don't let them slip away.

When this episode is broadcasted my friend, Melissa D Hall, have been a panelist at 8% Nation in Charlotte N.

The Medicare business, as any other business, is based on customers.  The number of customers you have is important to the business.  It is always important to grow by having new customers, however, the potential for a strong Medicare business is based on how many of those customers your retain.  The fourth quarter of the year is spent writing business for the first quarter of the next year.  The goal is to increase the number of customers on December 31 beginning January 1.  How are you doing with retention?

My guest, Christian Brindle, has been in the insurance industry for some time and says since he was 20 years old he's written insurance.  As Founder and CEO of Christian Brindle Insurance Services, he has formed an insurance dynasty that serves both the consumer and other agents.  From a single shop, Christian has grown the agency side to 100 agents and is now making the big move to expand even further.  Listen as Christian tells how he arrived at this point in his business, the actions he has taken and how he plans to move forward.  Thank you, Christian.

This episode of I Sell Medicare Plans uses the analogy of learning to swim to demonstrate the methods of success in the insurance business.  There are two ways to learn to swim, 1.  take lessons and learn slowly and gradually and perhaps be relying on the safety net of the instructor for a while, or 2.  get thrown in or jump in feet first and it's sink or swim.  Listen to the contrast of each way to learn and decide how you will "swim" into the deeper waters of Medicare and Final Expense selling.
