More than 10,000 seniors age into Medicare each day. During the last enrollment period, 36% of Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, an increase of 9% compared to the previous year, according to the American Journal of Managed Care.

Everyone knows that follow-up is part of the sales process, fine and good. But how do you pull it off in a way that helps to seal the deal - without making you feel like a bother?

Get ready for AEP. The Medicare Annual Election Period for 2020 coverage starts October 15, 2019 and ends December 7, 2019. That may seem like a long way off, but it will be here before you know it. Here’s why it’s shaping up to be a busy year.

AEP is right around the corner. According to Harvard Business Review, different studies have shown that acquiring new clients can cost anywhere from five to 25 more times than retaining existing clients.

The annual election period for Medicare is over. This can be a relief for agents who finally have time to breathe, but it can also be a source of anxiety. For many agents, AEP is the most productive time of the year by far. In fact, the rest of the year can be downright slow. The  scarcity of work – and of commissions – can be scary.

Do you procrastinate? Don’t feel bad if you do. It’s human nature. But when it comes to preparing for AEP, procrastination can be disastrous. There’s so much to do – if you put it off until the last minute, there simply won’t be enough time to do everything right.

The first quarter is almost wrapped up!  What have you done to make sure you have a great AEP?

By 2030, people aged 65 and over will account for at least 20 percent of the U.S. population. Every day, approximately 10,000 people celebrate their 65^th birthday, according to Pew Research.

The most successful insurance agents are motivated, outgoing and care a lot about helping others. They also have one other trait in common: They are impeccably organized and never forget to follow up.

How do they do it? By automating the sales process with an insurance CRM system.
