Effectively Managing your Leads Using bconnected
Opportunity Status New leads are In Progress until the sales process has been completed. As the sales process is completed, a sales opportunity may result in any of the following resolutions: Closed/Won Ensure HICN and Requested Effective Date are accurate; proceed with enrollment Closed/Lost, ClosedIneligible or ClosedDuplicate Closed/Won The applicant is enrolled, this status is automatically set by the system upon enrollment activity Closed/Lost Benefits/Network/Cost/PTC=No The sales lead was lost due to cost, benefits, network, or because you are unable to contact the consumer by any means including a lack of Permission to Call (PTC=No) Closed Ineligible When a prospect is not qualified and cannot enroll for reasons such as age, geographic location, ESRD, or lack of Medicare A or B. Closed Duplicate The opportunity is closed because the applicant has an existing opportunity
Rules for Lead Management All new leads on the agent s dashboard are considered In Progress New leads must be acknowledged within 2 business days of receipt It is required for all agents to have a scheduled future activity for all In Progress leads. (This is also mentioned in bconnected Terminology) Keep all In Progress opportunities updated throughout the sales process New marketing-generated leads for each sales period (AEP, OEP, SEP) are to be sold or closed within the selling period All sales must be entered in bconnected. Agents are expected to use electronic enrollment unless paper application is the only option Sales Managers will reassign (sweep) leads to another field agent or channel, or will adjust routing rules if the following guidelines are not followed
Guidelines for Successful Lead Management Acknowledgement of new leads as soon as possible, or within 2 business days Same day appointment requests must be called within 3 hours of notification Follow up and complete all open Activities based on the due date and activity type Request for Appointment call schedule specific date and time (system sets callback 2 business days from request) Community Meeting RSVP confirm attendance (system sets callback 2 business days from request) BRC confirm receipt of information and move to next step of selling process (system sets callback 2 business days from request) Inquiry Leads (fulfillment requests and generic opportunities) confirm receipt of information and move to next step of selling process (system sets callback 7 business days from request) Always make sure PTC=YES before making any calls (it can change daily) Keep up with callbacks, complete them before they become overdue If a meeting or in-home appointment exist on an opportunity and the event has been completed, the opportunity record should be updated to reflect this A Community Meeting and In-home Appointment cannot exist simultaneously on an Opportunity Record, one activity must be completed or cancelled before a new one may be scheduled
Working From the Callbacks Queue
Working from the Callbacks Queue Callbacks have a designated activity type associated to the reason for the callback. After new leads have been acknowledged, work from the activities in the callbacks queue. Callback activities should be worked according to the following priority: Appointment Requested CM (Community Meeting) RSVP Lead Reassigned Callback Scheduled Each callback activity is assigned a due date. The due dates are in the left-most column of the queue and are color-coded. Red = Overdue Green = Due today Black = Due in the future
Working from the Callbacks Queue Work each activity from the queue when completing the outbound call to the consumer; all callbacks must be resolved in this way Once a callback has been worked to completion, it will no longer appear in the queue All calls should be completed before they become overdue.
Completing a Callback Activity Double-click the callback that you are working from the queue This will open the lead record Notice the Call Reason that populates in the upper-left corner of the Contact Record After completing the outbound call to the consumer, disposition the record by setting the accurate disposition and resolution, then click Finish Select the Resolution that is appropriate for the result of the outbound call The Contact Record must also be dispositioned; set the appropriate disposition/resolution on the Contact Record as applicable to the selections made on the Opportunity Record
Schedule or Reschedule a Callback To schedule a callback: Click the Schedule Callback button at the bottom right of the Opportunity record. Enter the date and time of the call, as well as the Reason for the callback Click Commit To reschedule a callback: Click the Existing Calls dropdown menu and select the call you wish to change and change as necessary Click Commit
Scenario-Based Training: What will you do with the UnitedHealthcare Medicare leads you receive?
New Lead Appointment Request When a new lead is received and the activity associated to that consumer is an Appointment Request, the agent must call the consumer to confirm the appointment and set a date and time for the in-home visit.
New Lead Lead Reassigned When a new lead is received by an agent as a result of a manual reassignment completed by a manager, the agent must reach out to the consumer to initiate the relationship and proceed to the next step in the sales process.
New Lead - Inquiry This type of lead means that a consumer has inquired about our products and we have sent them a fulfillment sales kit. These leads must be followed up on to initiate the next step in the sales process
New Lead Community Meeting RSVP A new lead with this Activity Type means that the consumer has registered for one of your scheduled Community Meetings. Contact the consumer to verify their registration
Closing the Opportunity
The End of the Sales Process After you have completed all steps in the sales process with the consumer, the Opportunity is eventually closed. All sales must be entered in bconnected thus closing the Opportunity as Closed/Won. In the event when a consumer does not enroll, the opportunity is closed for the appropriate reason the sale was lost, the consumer was ineligible, or after exhausting all means of communication, the consumer was not responsive. Closed Won Closed Lost Closed Ineligible Closed due to PTC (lack of)
Closing the Opportunity at the End of the Sales Process Closed/Won Ensure HICN and Requested Effective Date are accurate; proceed with enrollment The applicant is enrolled, this status is automatically set by the system upon enrollment activity Closed/Lost Benefits/Network/Cost/PTC=No The sales lead was lost due to cost, benefits, network, or because you are unable to contact the consumer by any means including a lack of Permission to Call (PTC=No) Closed Ineligible When a prospect is not qualified and cannot enroll for reasons such as age, geographic location, ESRD, or lack of Medicare A or B.
