Leverage Chat GPT For Your Insurance Practice

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Mon, Jul 31, 2023 @ 01:27 PM

Leverage Chat GPT For Your Insurance Practice

Insurance agents can leverage ChatGPT for marketing purposes to engage with potential customers, generate leads, and provide valuable information. While this is not an exhaustive list, it should at least plant some seeds on new ways to make your business more efficient and scalable.

Here are 8 ways on how insurance agents can use ChatGPT for their business:

Lead Generation:

    • Create a conversational lead generation system using ChatGPT. This system can engage website visitors or social media users by offering them personalized insurance recommendations or quotes.
    • Prompt users to provide basic information like their age, location, coverage needs, and contact details. Use this information to follow up and convert leads into customers.
  1. Automated Customer Engagement:
    • Use ChatGPT to automate initial customer interactions and responses on your website or social media platforms.
    • Provide general information about insurance types, coverage options, and frequently asked questions.
    • Ensure that ChatGPT can collect customer information, such as name, email address, and phone number, to enable future follow-ups.
  2. Personalized Recommendations:
    • Train ChatGPT on customer data and preferences to deliver personalized insurance recommendations.
    • Gather information about customers' needs, budget, risk profile, and preferences. Then, use ChatGPT to generate tailored recommendations based on these factors.
  3. Policy Explanation and Education:
    • Utilize ChatGPT to explain complex insurance terms and policies in a user-friendly manner.
    • Provide interactive and conversational explanations about policy features, coverage limits, deductibles, exclusions, and other relevant details.
    • Address customer concerns and help them make informed decisions.
  4. Chatbot Integration:
    • Integrate ChatGPT into chatbot systems on your website or messaging platforms to handle customer inquiries and provide real-time support.
    • Customize the chatbot's responses and prompts to align with your marketing goals, ensuring it can gather necessary customer information during conversations.
  5. Content Creation:
    • Use ChatGPT as a content generation tool to create blog posts, articles, social media posts, and email newsletters on insurance-related topics.
    • Provide ChatGPT with specific prompts or topics, and it can generate drafts or outlines that can be refined by human writers.
  6. Customer Retention and Cross-Selling:
    • Leverage ChatGPT to engage with existing customers and encourage upselling or cross-selling opportunities.
    • Provide personalized policy reviews, offer additional coverage options, or suggest bundling opportunities based on customers' needs and policy history.
  7. Continuous Improvement:
    • Monitor customer interactions with ChatGPT and collect feedback to enhance its performance and accuracy.
    • Regularly update and expand the knowledge base used by ChatGPT to ensure it remains up-to-date with industry trends, policy changes, and new offerings.

Remember to regularly evaluate the effectiveness of ChatGPT in your marketing efforts. Adjust and refine its usage based on customer feedback, lead conversion rates, and the overall impact on your marketing strategies.

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Thu, Jul 27, 2023 @ 01:49 PM

Retail Program Updates-3

The goal of a retail program is to reach and engage potential Medicare beneficiaries in person, allowing them to learn about Medicare Advantage plans, ask questions, and enroll in a plan on the spot.

Retail programs can be particularly effective in areas with a significant senior population and in locations where there is a higher demand for face-to-face interactions.

If you think you would be a good candidate and would like to participate, please request details here, or give us a call at 800-998-7715.

Retail programs can be an effective marketing and sales channel for agents, complementing other methods such as direct mail, online advertising, and telephonic sales.

Savvy Agents Can Expand Their Medicare Business Cross-Selling Ancillary Products

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Tue, Jul 18, 2023 @ 09:17 AM

Cross selling ancillary

Insurance agents can have successful careers building a significant client base by selling Medicare Advantage (MA) coverage to beneficiaries. Agents wanting to expand their business beyond MA coverage and move their earnings to new levels can do that holistically with ancillary products. Along with the potential for increased revenue, agents cross-selling ancillary products could help their clients save money on health care expenses while setting themselves apart from the competition.

One cross-selling technique is packaging MA and ancillary products as a bundled approach. This minimizes the likelihood of clients seeking alternative coverage options,
which increases their long-term commitment to their agents and their carriers. The key isn't only knowing all available products and coverage benefits, but how they compliment MA coverage to best meet your client’s needs.

It’s important to remember that cross selling occurs when an opportunity to sell a Medicare plan is also utilized to sell a non health related product (such as life or home insurance or financial planning services). This activity is prohibited during individual appointments, marketing/sales events or when providing Medicare plan enrollment materials (such as the “Enrollment Guide”) to consumers.

Let’s breakdown the three most popular ancillary products.

HOSPITAL INDEMNITY PLANS

Hospital Indemnity (HI) plans provide Medicare beneficiaries with financial protection for medical expenses associated with daily hospital confinement, ambulance rides, diagnostic tests, lab work and prescription medications.

Agents can share with clients that the plans are designed to supplement other health insurance policies and can cover deductibles, copayments and other out-of-pocket costs. HI policies don't have network restrictions, meaning policyholders can choose providers that are both in and out-of-network. Networks become very important, especially when a person wants treatment at the best facility available after a diagnosis of a critical or complex disease, such as cancer, renal failure or heart disease. An added benefit: many HI plans come with riders, such as coverage for cancer costs, emergency room visits and outpatient services.

FINAL EXPENSE PLANS

Final Expense (FE) policies provide clients with a sense of security for their loved ones and protect them from unforeseen costs associated with medical bills and funeral costs. With the right guidance and product knowledge, agents can provide their customers
with quality coverage at affordable rates. Clients would be interested in knowing that
FE qualification thresholds are usually much lower than for other life insurance policies
regarding a policyholder’s health.

Agents can also stress that FE products go beyond burial costs and can include leaving financial gifts for clients’ family members that can go to settling debts.

DENTAL, VISION AND HEARING (DVH) PLANS

Dental, Vision and Hearing (DVH) coverage can increase a client’s financial protection
beyond what is available through traditional MA plans. Agents can let clients know that as they age, they are at a higher risk of needing DVH-related care. DVH plans offer additional access to coverage for these unexpected costs not covered by some Medicare plans.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ANCILLARY MARKETPLACE

The ancillary marketplace lets agents leverage their already-existing client base and build longer-term relationships with them through cross-selling opportunities. Once agents are comfortable with selling MA products, they can take the following steps to move into the ancillary marketplace:

  • Learn about the available products and coverage benefits.
  • Do the homework and uncover how ancillary products can complement clients’ current coverage.
  • With recent changes in CMS guidelines, it’s important to understand their impact on cross-selling opportunities. Ensure you understand all government, state and local regulations.
  • Contact your clients and holistically market these plans. Agents who want to grow their business beyond Medicare products would be well advised to consider the holistic nature of ancillary products. These plans can diversify their product portfolios and maximize their earnings while providing their clients with added protections from unanticipated medical costs.

    -

“Cross-selling occurs when an opportunity to sell a Medicare plan is also utilized to sell a non-health related product (such as life or home insurance or financial planning services). This activity is prohibited by CMS during individual appointments, marketing/sales events or when providing Medicare plan enrollment materials to consumers. Review the current Medicare Advantage Marketing Regulations and make sure you’re complying with Medicare’s rules regarding cross-selling.”

The New 60/40: Replacing Bonds with Fixed Indexed Annuities

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Mon, Jul 17, 2023 @ 03:16 PM

The New 60/40: Replacing Bonds with Fixed Indexed Annuities

Financial market upheavals and bank instability have left Americans feeling uncertain about the safety of their money. Recent failures of large banks have had a mobilizing effect on investors nationwide. American consumers, now fearful of depositing money into their once-trusted bank accounts, are in search of safe havens for their money.

But it wasn’t just the recent banking failures that caused concern. As the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, banks didn't do the same for depositors. Deposits overall had been in a steady decline over the past year. Combined with rising interest rates, less competitive investment rates for bank accounts offering next to nothing returns and the fear of further failures, many people have decided to park their money elsewhere.

Fortunately, there are ways to protect and grow your clients’ hard-earned and astutely saved assets without taking on too much risk: Replacing volatile traditional bank bonds with more durable and dependable fixed indexed annuities (FIA).

FIAs pay an interest rate based on the performance of a market index, such as the S&P 500. However, money isn't invested or exposed to the market. It’s a blend of other annuity types and applies beneficial elements of each. The FIA offers the protection of a fixed annuity with the potential for growth like the index annuity.

What is the old 60/40?

The old 60/40 portfolio is a 71-year-old investment strategy, first proposed by Nobel Laureate Harry Markowitz in 1952. The strategy involves investing 60% of a portfolio in stocks and 40% in bonds.

It's an easy-to-follow approach to diversifying investments — but it comes with a significant amount of market risk. The 60/40 has been popular for decades, but with recent changes in the financial landscape, it may be time to rethink our strategy.

In “The New 60/40,” you’re replacing bonds with FIAs, which can offer more market protection and more robust growth opportunities. For example, whereas bank CDs carry a 3% to 10% financial reserve, FIAs are a 100% financial reserve product, which allows investors to access all their funds at any time, without any restrictions or limitations. Being a 100% financial reserve product allows investors to keep their funds in a safe, secure and liquid form, while still earning an attractive return. A 100% financial reserve product offers investors the ability to access their funds immediately and with no hidden costs or fees.

FIAs can help clients protect their principal and generate market-like gains without financial market risk. They can help to generate important retirement income without having to withdraw funds from the growth portion of a portfolio. This makes FIAs an attractive option for those looking to protect their retirement savings and build income.

Impacts of the 2024 CMS Final Rule

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Mon, Jul 17, 2023 @ 12:39 PM

Impacts of the 2024 CMS Final Rule

Before we dive in, it's crucial not to solely depend on these key points, as they are only a portion of the overall impact. We strongly advise reviewing the regulation and guidance thoroughly in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of each requirement and the potential changes you may need to implement. Also, be sure to visit https://yourfmo.com/cms-faqs which is frequently updated as we receive guidance from CMS and our carrier partners. 

Sales and Marketing Activities 

  • Visiting a beneficiary without an appointment is always prohibited, even when the beneficiary has expressed an interest in MA products.

  • You may no longer set up future personal marketing appointments or have beneficiaries complete Scope of Appointment forms at educational events.

  • Marketing events are prohibited from taking place within 12 hours of an educational event in the same location. The same location is defined as the entire building or adjacent buildings.

  • You must wait 48 hours between the completion of the Scope of Appointment and the start of the personal marketing appointment except when:
      • SOAs are completed during the last four days of a valid election period.
      • Unscheduled in-person meetings (walk-ins) are initiated by the beneficiary.
      • Note: CMS has indicated that this 48-hour period is not required for inbound calls from enrollees. At this time, unless CMS provides further clarification, this requirement applies to outbound calls.

  • The pre-enrollment checklist (PECL) must be provided prior to enrollment, including telephonic enrollments. "Effect of current coverage" has been added to the PECL.

  • TPMOs must provide the number of plans and products it offers, as well as SHIP contact information in its disclaimer. TPMOs who offer all plans and products must also provide a version of this disclaimer.

  • TPMOs must record all marketing, sales, and enrollment calls, including the audio portion of calls via web-based technology, in their entirety. Other types of calls have been excluded.

Marketing Materials 

  • Authorized TPMOs must submit multi-plan materials to HPMS after pre-review by MA organizations.

  • The use of superlatives such as "best" or "most" is prohibited unless specific criteria for supporting documentation are fulfilled.

  • Do not use the Medicare name and CMS logo in a misleading way. Use of the Medicare ID card image must be authorized for use by CMS.

  • The MA organization name or marketing name(s) as listed in HPMS must be identified in the marketing of any products, plans, benefits or costs.

  • Marketing communications may not include information regarding potential savings that are based on a comparison of typical expenses borne by uninsured individuals, unpaid costs of dually eligible beneficiaries, or other unrealized costs of a Medicare beneficiary.

Gaining Leverage

As a modern sales leader, you focus as much on marketing as you do on sales. You are 
constantly attempting to solve for targeted outreach to attract more talent and net new 
clients to your organization. It’s all about growing your # of stores (advisors/sales reps/
offices) and your productivity/profit per store (production) – at the same time! Not an 
easy task.

In some cases, you depend on a marketing or recruiting department to do it. In other 
cases, it’s totally on you. Either way – you want to feel in control of your destiny and 
influencing others to drive results to hit your goals. More often you feel less control and 
more frustration. This is particularly true in today’s ever changing marketing environment 
where all forms of “stranger marketing” (email, job boards, social media, LinkedIn, etc.) are under attack. These platforms have become very noisy, with lower trust, with more filtering leading to lower conversion and higher cost.

As a result, many leaders and organizations are “going back to the future” by 
recommitting to referrals as the primary way to do business. Referrals to quality recruits 
and referrals to ideal clients. This is worthy and perfectly aligned with consumer interests.

  In fact:
  • Trust in referrals is up: 91% of consumers would refer if asked vs. 83% 5 years ago.
  • It is the #1-way consumers want to learn about you and your services.
  • Consumer preferences, however, have changed to more technology based - #1 
     way is email and #2 is text/SMS.
