Professional Experience
Teleperformance - Remote, WI
Medicare Sales (August 2021 to Current)
As a captive agent, I sold Medicare thru open enrollment, then after annual enrollment, they changed the
department I was in, and I went to customer service. From there (when they were not as busy) I (and hundreds
of others) were transferred to Catalog sales for over the counter, then I (and hundreds of others) were
transferred to OTC catalog sales, and after a brief stint we were moved to outbound, and then most recently
we were transferred back to OTC catalog sales. For AEP 2022 I was selling once again, but this time for
Humana The position hopping certainly let me see much more in depth of the Medicare world, and it definitely
broadened my horizons.
