Postal Service Delays Affect Insurance Policies (and Leads)
Agents have been saying, since the 4th quarter of 2020 that mail delays and disruptions have greatly affected the delivery of direct mail lead pieces and the return on investment into direct mail, altogether.
On March 6, 2021, the Maryland Insurance Administration notified agents and insurance carriers that the delays by the US Postal Service were affecting the delivery of premiums, and policy lapses were now a concern.
For agents considering the use or continued use of direct mail for their business, this should be of great concern.
This is ANOTHER REASON for clients to NEVER choose Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual PAPER billing OR a credit card, which is bound to expire and then, too, they miss the notices.
This phenomenon happens all the time, originally covered here:

Hiring for Medicare Agents? Wait Just a Minute…
Many new members of Medicare Agent Training are coming from their independent discovery that there is a whole new world of Medicare out there that their agencies never told them about = Medicare Supplement.
Many of these agencies are running ads on Indeed and elsewhere, advertising for “jobs” that are commission-only and have various methods of contacting seniors for the SOLE purpose of selling Medicare Advantage plans.
Why is that?
The override for a new-to-Medicare Advantage client is HUGE, let me tell you (over $600 at FMO level).
Making over $150 to up to $300 per sale (the difference between what the agent will make) is a HUGE incentive to push Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement.
These new agents are discovering that they have been misled, or at least, left out of the education about the alternative to keeping Original Medicare and using a Supplement plan to fill in the gaps.
Be careful when looking for Medicare sales Jobs on Indeed!
