My boss is encouraging me to sell supplemental Medicare insurance. Don't know much about health insurance but seems fairly easy. Thinking of doing this next year and wondering if anyone has done this

If you can do it easily where it's not taking a ton of your time or detracting lots of attention from your securities, seems like a no brainer having that kind of list.

From what I understand, you really only work this type of insurance during open enrollment (Oct-Dec). While October is usually a good month for me, Novemeber and December are completely dead. I figure if I can focus on this during those months, even Saturdays, I may be able to have some decent reocurring revenue each year that's independent from this. I just don't know how much time one needs to devote to staying on top of everything that changes with health care.

I do a fair amount of it.

I get a lot of investment business as a by product of helping people with their Medicare. You have a reason to talk to them frequently and learn everything about them in the process. And if you are not doing it and have a lot of clients turning 65 you can keep me from stealing your clients.

I do it a lot. Know your products and the ins and outs of Medicare and if you sell the Part C Advantage Plans and Part D Drug plans you are required to certify annually which is time consuming and the compliance requirements make DOL look like child's play. I have a Welcome to Medicare Seminar that I target 64 olds with.

Anyone else have a need to exercise daily? A lot of people judge me in a negative way and in reality it is because my ADHD brain needs it. 1) the consistency for schedule 2) exercise can help tone down the symptoms before I sit down for the work day 3) it is the only thing I can control to make it look like I am not a mess (disorganization, interrupting) - basically trying to stay in the game at work based on perception of “having it together”. Just wondering if anyone faces the challenges.
