Aren't those Medicare seminars just sales pitches in disguise?

Answered by 6 licensed agents

Mostly, yes they are. They benefit you as you can meet the agent, ask questions and gather information. They are not supposed to have a sales pitch attached, or even any obligation for follow up contact. However, as polite human beings, many feel obligated to follow through and set up a meeting. To be fair, most presenters are salespeople, and we can't help but sell.

As an agent with 30 years behind me, I always have preferred one on one meetings. I have always felt they are far more personal and efficient for the customer. Skip the seminar and go see an agent.

If they're done right, they can be both informative and also gives the broker a chance to show the audience that they would be the right choice for people to work with. "Its all in the delivery" as they say, so choose your broker wisely.

No! They are educational in nature. It's your choice to follow-up and set an appointment for further assistance

Seminars are a chance for an agent to spotlight what they do well. You don't need to attend a seminar to get the same information if you are speaking with a seasoned agent who put YOU first.

I would have my radar up. Like all industries,there are good and bad . Choose wisely and carefully.

In my opinion, they are supposed to be informative. Most agents are there to help you understand the complexity of Medicare and to guide you to the plan the provides for your needs.
