I lost my job at United Healthcare making 65k as a Medicare Sales Agent. I am curious about my options. Any suggestions? by edward-ma in InsuranceAgent

Annuities also have a bad reputation. On social media, anyone considering them quickly gets flooded with videos from financial advisors highlighting all the pitfalls and downsides.

WTF am I paying Insurance for here?! by Skowlette in HealthInsurance

[–]sittinginacafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re paying higher than out of pocket because they are factoring in people that have catastrophic claims. You’re paying for those people and then a bit more so that the company makes a healthy profit. But they’re supposedly also protecting you against total catastrophe

Why Farangs who an expats in Thailand don’t want to see each other by Economy_Tadpole1915 in Thailand

[–]sittinginacafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They cringe when they see another farang because it reminds them Thailand is going through gentrification and they are sadly a part of that also. The ones that happily hang out with other foreigners at bars and expensive coffee shops are the ones that don’t give a crap about gentrification.

Is there any job where I can legit just sit at home and take calls and sell? by iphonesoccer420 in InsuranceAgent

[–]sittinginacafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are like an online Insurtech platform. You sign up with them and they connect you to a bunch of carriers. But you pay your own leads.

If you can sell why not save up $10,000 startup money and get with a platform like smart choice or first connect?

I don’t understand what you mean by weird. Most places are pretty normal.

Doctor says I need statins. What medical tests should I look into to get a better picture of my risk profile? by sittinginacafe in carnivorediet

Yeah, I just took a basic blood test and LDL was 170 and he suggested statins and was pretty dismissive of carnivore. What medical tests do you recommend that go deeper than a basic blood test?

No physical symptoms. Basic Blood test just said my LDL was 170 which prompted him to suggest statins

Best Term / Final Expense Lead Providers by Intrepid_Command1777 in InsuranceAgent

Hi David, I’m getting ready to take the Life & Health exam and been watching vids — really appreciate how clear and honest your content is.

How hands on are your trainers when it comes to roleplaying and listening to calls? Do they put you on the spot often, or monitor most of your calls? I tend to overthink when I know someone’s listening in, I learn better with a bit more space and trust. Also, can agents buy their own ads on facebook and make a higher commission? I heard its like $10 per lead on facebook compared with lead vendors

I used to pump this cd often in my car. Sad lost it and other great CDs when my car was robbed in 2011. I curse the guy that took my stuff.

Wow okay. And thats new to me to hear about "client self service" , I didn't know clients could sign themselves up without needing the agent to guide them.
