Predictions for 2010

January 6, 2010 by Craig

I guess everybody’s doing it, so, just for fun, here are my 10 predictions for 2010:

Health care reform does not pass by the SOTU.
Financial S&P Stock index rises by more than 20%. (Bonus: this will outperform the S&P 500).
GDP will grow by more than 3.5% in 2010.
Total Medicare Advantage enrollment increases in 2010 (12/1/2010 over 12/1/2009). (12/1/2009 MA enrollment number was 11.3 Million)
“Overpayment” to Medicare Advantage decreases in June 2010 Medpac report versus June 2009 report. (Bonus: to 10% or less in 2010, per MEDPAC (see page 155, of June 2009 report).
A Modernized Medicare Supplement Plan N is filed and approved with monthly premium of less than $60.00/month in Iowa or Nebraska.
Ritter Insurance Website generates over 1.5 million page views in 2010 (versus 700,000 in 2009).
Ritter Insurance delivers over 15,000 leads to agents via it’s lead portal (versus 7,715 in 2009).
Medicare Quote Engine delivers over 50,000 Medicare Supplement/Medicare Advantage quotes in a single month. (Previous record is 26,825 set in December 2009.)
Insurance Agents working with Ritter Insurance Marketing enjoy their best year EVER in 2010.

I don’t know about 1-9, but I hope that #10 comes true for you!!

I haven’t had much luck with the lead system so far, maybe you can help me make it work.

Craig,

For any of your producers who haven’t jumped on the use of the lead system, my comment is that it’s the best system I’ve ever used. The response time, the cost and the tracking tools are fantastic.

Thanks again.
