This is a foolish approach.
How they set the appointments goes a long way towards what sort of results you will enjoy (or NOT enjoy).

That is a great marketing idea and from my understanding of the rules, is compliant as long as there are no meals, door knocking or phone calling.
I have a question in to one of the carriers asking if it is considered a meal at an event if I serve roadkill. I am considering a wild game feed at a local park. The menu will read 'Mystery Meat', since I have to advise CMS by the 15th of the preceding month, and I have no idea what I will be serving until it gets hit.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Roadkill is okay as long as it is served on white bread. However, it is not acceptable to use it to make chili unless the beans are stolen from an illegal migrant worker.
I suggest at the "dinner" you collect the annual premium in cash and not give them your card or phone number.
Rick, along with SAI have moved into another money making area. They are is offering their services as event planners to help agents comply with CMS regulations. Rick will be the one carrying the 2x4 to help those who are undecided make a decision and SAI will be the one twisting/breaking arms to make them let go of the cash.
I checked, CMS has said nothing about 2x4's or arm breaking so I guess both are within the guidelines.

That's a good idea, you can all stay out of the MA market, you're right, it's really not good at all.
As of 2010, 300,000 people per month will become eligible for Medicare and right now the share of seniors on MA's is about 19%, wanna do the math on that one fellas?
Also, stop looking for the problem in the opportunity!!
According to CMS (Sept, 2008) for Medicare Advantage, you can conduct sales activities in common areas of health care settings.
Example: If a pharmacy counter is located within a retail store, common areas would include the space outside of where patients wait for services or interact with pharmacy providers and obtain medication. So park your butt at Wal-Mart!!
You can also do an educational seminar as long as you're not steering a client to a specific or limited number of plans.
Also, last year, an agency I consulted with received a 22% response off of a mailer. 22%!!!!!!!!
PFFS plans were the problem so stop whining and sell!!!!!!
