Medicare agent sales training
As the demand for Medicare coverage continues to grow, the role of Medicare agents becomes increasingly important. For that reason, Medicare agent sales training is crucial. Agents need to be prepared to provide guidance for beneficiaries to ensure they receive the health care coverage that fits their needs and budget.
There are various training programs available to equip agents with the necessary knowledge and skills. Agents need to take in a lot of information including; rules, contracting, benefits, quoting, certs and much more. We will discuss some of those things below.
Initial Training Programs
Newer Medicare agents require comprehensive initial training programs. These programs should provide a solid foundation of the Medicare system including eligibility, coverage options and enrollment periods as well as how they work together. We provide a weekly zoom training for all our newer agents that need the extra time to get up and running.
Product-Specific Training
Because there are so many coverage options for Medicare beneficiaries, including Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage (Part C), and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D), agents need product-specific training. This training ensures that agents are well-versed in the details of each plan, allowing them to match individuals with the most suitable coverage. Each carrier provides it’s agents with product training opportunities. We also offer training when a new product that shows potential is introduced into an area or if agents show an interest in learning more about a specific product. Agents can either join one of our weekly zoom meetings or webinars or find information on our website or YouTube channel.
