Working at Aflac

I have read most of the discussions and replies about AFLAC. I have found that the negative comments were short-term agents. I have recently hit my year mark, and have never been happier! EVERYTHING I have been told during the first year is true, from the hard work required to the enormous amount of money you can make. All I had to do was give it a year. I gave my last job 12 years, and am now making twice as much money. If anyone ever has a question about AFLAC, just ask. I am on my way to a State Trainer Position!

two words flim flam, if you want to "work for the" you had better just bring $600 for all the fees and classes and shit. they dont tell you this on the phone but they will not even touch you til you pay.

I've been considering selling Aflac, and I heard that a salesperson needs to buy a laptop through Aflac for $3000 which has the SNG software required to register new clients. I was wondering if SNG is available as stand-alone software through Aflac, or if you have to buy the computer also to obtain it. If so, how much is the software? Can you buy a used Aflac computer? I feel quite apprehensive about spending $3000 (before even selling any policies) on a more-than-likely low end computer loaded with programs that can only be used for one specific purpose. If anyone is trying to get rid of one of these laptops, feel free to contact me. Perhaps we can conduct a transaction via Ebay or something. Thanks!

Do you work at AFLAC? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview? Any advice for someone trying to get in?

I have an AFLAC brick (hard drive) for sale, along with the Signature pad and carrying case for sale. They are all in very new condition, and has been used for less than a year. I paid approximately $750.00, and will sell for $650 OBO. Please send responses or questions to kland17@msn.com.

I have a SNG computer that I would like to sell. It is already completely paid for and works great. It is a Panasonic CF-W7 model. I am really looking to just get rid of it soon. $350 obo. Please email me at harolddean85@gmail.com if you are interested.

I am interested in becoming a AFLAC independent Agent, i understand is a commission opportunity, i already did my hours required in California to do my exam (Last Year) when i did this i was unemployed and with no money, so it slow me down to finish the process, know i am employed again with a great company, BUT i still want to do AFLAC on my extra Hours Starting with my friends and family, i know i can do good, Does anyone knows if AFLAC would allowed me to do this while having another Job as a primary ( that is not Insurance)? I would not be able to commit to a lot of hours. Thanks, Oscar

What do you vetreans of Aflac do for your family Health Insurance? Does anyone have the NAPA Health Plan? How is it? Any other ideas that can help us that are just starting and are looking forward to the challenge? Thanks you, Jan W. Nahorski Joliet, IL jacknash711@yahoo.com

I've been with Aflac for almost 5 years and have 50 accounts that I serivce. Even though I have a full-time admin who I share with another agent and my DCS, it's very hard to keep organized with so many different areas to manage. I was wondering what other successful agents use to manage their marketing efforts, leads, policyholder's claims and other issues, account visits, billing, to do's, etc. This is what I corrently use: Marketing. We have a system that we use to manage leads. Each lead has it's own sheet of paper where you can keep track of date and time of calls/ visits and take notes. All leads are in a binder that has tabs 1-31. Each lead is placed under day that you will be "moving it forward". For example, you call ABC company and receptionist tells you that owner will be back in few days on 1/13. You take that lead and move it to tab "13". When 1/13 comes and you open that tab, you know that you have to call ABC compnay again after reading the notes from the notes you left before. Problem: I am trying to be more efficient with my time and find a way to search all leads that I am working on by area, so that when I have a clinet visit or an appointment, I can also plan to visit thous other leads in the same area. (I have about 400 leads) Claims: Most claims are sent directly to me and I forward them to my admin, but then it's hard to keep track of the process to make sure policyholder (ph) gets paid in full. My admin will call ph back and leave a message, but then if ph doesn't respond, it's a lot to keep track of. Then when that claimant calls me back 4 wks later because his claim didnt get paid, I have to ask my admin what happened and he tells me that ph never called him back. Does anyone have a good way of keeping track of all claims and their progress? And even better if you can link those ee's to specific accts, so that when you go back for open enrollment you know exactly who got paid and where you might have an issue...

Fully loaded HP Probook 4520s, with topax pen tablet, leather bag. I have been an agent for about 3 yrs and think it's time to move on to something else. I would like to get this Hp into the hands of someone who is actively selling. It has years of credit left on it. I paid over $2200 new less than a yr ago, and my rock bottom is $1500 with everything that's included, it's a bargain. you can reach me at tripletdad3@hotmail.com
