AEP is in the air and Kathe and Joanna are not entirely thrilled aboutit. In this episode, the ladies get into what's frustrating about thisseason (carriers releasing first looks in late September, non-commissionableplans, and plans being suppressed off Medicare.gov entirely) and whatagents can actually do about it. Then they shift to the part most agentsskip: getting yourself ready before October 15th hits.

What they cover:

- Why waiting on carrier first looks has agents stuck in "hurry upand wait"

- Directing clients to Medicare.gov for PDP reviews and what to expectfrom the accuracy

- Guaranteed issue confusion, and why unlicensed guidance costs consumersreal money

- Why your business address should not be your home address (especiallyfor women)- Pre-AEP admin: license renewals, CE hours, FFM certification, carregistration. Do it now

- Health prep that protects your season: doctor appointments, mealprepping, grocery delivery, and walking while you work

If your birthday falls during AEP, this one's especially for you.
