16 Option A: Contact List Custom List Volume-Based Pricing A contact list custom ordered for you from a list vendor, based on the age range, income level and county you desire to work in.

And, not all programs allow for cold-calling. Specifics are at under the LEADS tab. 16

17 Option A: Contact List Custom List Volume-Based Pricing 17

18 Option A: Contact List Custom List Volume-Based Pricing Build your list according to your personal specifications. Consider the Turning 65s, but remember everyone chases that market. Look to the T66s & T67s for folks experiencing Medicare Supplement price increases, with fewer agents pursuing the group. Pursue 70 year olds (for the same reasons as T66s & T67s), but also because of the Required Minimum Distribution requirements. 18

19 Option B: Community-Based Marketing Complementary Community-Based marketing programs create leads organically, and renew themselves, based upon agent performance. These programs include: Retail Marketing: Through various contracted Medicare Advantage carriers, and other one-off opportunities, agents have the opportunity to take advantage of natural and driven store traffic to carrier-supported and self-augmented store-based marketing locations.
