Medicare Advantage plans have specified networks.  There is really not a simple answer to this question as there are many components to consider.  Contact me at 504-267-8370 so we can chat.

Yes depending on which members are in the group. BNI is much like this group but there are weekly meetings and a cost to join. Groups that are beneficial usually consist of real estate agencies, bankers, property managers as so on but remember you also have to be able to send referrals.  (more) Yes depending on which members are in the group.

Social media hasn't helped to promote my business. Word of mouth and asking for referral form current clients works best for me. (more) Social media hasn't helped to promote my business. Word of mouth and asking for referral form current clients works best for me.

I do not believe business cards are out dated. I use these all the time when I meet prospects and use these to give them a way to remember me, my phone number and address.

Depends on who you are speaking with, if a millennial this maybe acceptable but to and baby boomer this would not be acceptable. "You are Welcome" would be a better response for a baby boomer.

Compare the products offered usually there is a reason the competitor received a lower price because the products are not the same. Remember the old adage you get what you pay for. This is true with most products. (more) Compare the products offered usually there is a reason the competitor received a lower price because the products are not the same.
