Let’s start with the technology platforms. Being able to quote, save, and compare Medicare choices for your clients is imperative. When CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) removed your ability to save drug plans, this opened up innovation in the independent distribution. Now you have the ability and convenience with Search & Save options that allow you to load your clients' medications and then recall that list and simply update it instead of recreating it every year.

Now as we head into the holiday season, it’s time to think about 2022 and the possibilities it offers for your business. That means getting ahead of the game and planning your marketing strategy for the new year.
