How to Increase Your Medicare Supplement Insurance Sales Online

Are you an independent agent looking to increase your Medicare supplement insurance sales?

If so, we have some good news for you. First, the overall trend when it comes to Medicare supplement insurance is one of growth. According to data from the BLS, Medicare spending grew 6.7% to $799.4 billion in 2019 alone and made up 21%of the total NHE.

If you're looking to tap into this growth and increase your Medicare supplement insurance sales, targeting leads online is the way to go. Consumers are increasingly looking to digital avenues for purchasing insurance. 

Marketing insurance online is not only an effective strategy; it's also cost-effective. Selling insurance online can reduce your overhead and travel costs and give you access to a wider target market. 

Selling Medicare supplement insurance in-person restricts you to the areas you can physically service. On the other hand, selling insurance online means you can serve clients throughout your state. You can even sell insurance to clients in another state, providing you apply for a non-resident insurance license.
