UPMC: The countdown begins…

Congratulations, brokers! You’ve made it to the home stretch of AEP. Although there’s still plenty of time to close more business, it’s not too early to express how proud UPMC is of the hard work and dedication you’ve shown. We’re excited by the preliminary sales reports, but we know your efforts go beyond numbers. You showed up to the trainings, learned about our new products and benefits, asked the questions you knew beneficiaries would have, studied how we matched up to the competition, spent long days in the car, took the time to understand your clients’ needs… and then some. UPMC appreciates everything that you’ve accomplished thus far.
 
Below are some resources that may come in handy along with some reminders, as you may see an influx in beneficiaries reaching out, trying to enroll or ask questions last minute.
