Opportunity Status

• New leads are In Progress until the sales process has been completed. As the sales process is completed, a sales opportunity may result in any of the following resolutions:– Closed/Won – Ensure HICN and Requested Effective Date are

accurate; proceed with enrollment– Closed/Lost, Closed�Ineligible or Closed�Duplicate– Closed/Won

• The applicant is enrolled, this status is automatically set by the system upon enrollment activity

– Closed/Lost – Benefits/Network/Cost/PTC=No• The sales lead was lost due to cost, benefits, network, or because you are

unable to contact the consumer by any means – including a lack of Permission to Call (PTC=No)

– Closed – Ineligible• When a prospect is not qualified and cannot enroll for reasons such as age,

geographic location, ESRD, or lack of Medicare A or B.– Closed – Duplicate

• The opportunity is closed because the applicant has an existing opportunity


Rules for Lead Management

• All new leads on the agent’s dashboard are considered In Progress– New leads must be acknowledged within 2 business days of

receipt• It is required for all agents to have a scheduled future activity for all

In Progress leads. (This is also mentioned in bConnected Terminology)

• Keep all In Progress opportunities updated throughout the sales process

• New marketing-generated leads for each sales period (AEP, OEP, SEP) are to be sold or closed within the selling period

• All sales must be entered in bConnected. Agents are expected to use electronic enrollment unless paper application is the only option

• Sales Managers will reassign (sweep) leads to another field agent or channel, or will adjust routing rules if the following guidelines are not followed


Guidelines for Successful Lead Management

• Acknowledgement of new leads as soon as possible, or within 2 business days– Same day appointment requests must be called within 3 hours of notification – Follow up and complete all open Activities based on the due date and activity

type• Request for Appointment – call schedule specific date and time (system sets

callback 2 business days from request)• Community Meeting RSVP – confirm attendance (system sets callback 2

business days from request) • BRC – confirm receipt of information and move to next step of selling

process (system sets callback 2 business days from request) • Inquiry Leads (fulfillment requests and generic opportunities) –confirm

receipt of information and move to next step of selling process (system sets callback 7 business days from request)

– Always make sure PTC=YES before making any calls (it can change daily) • Keep up with callbacks, complete them before they become overdue• If a meeting or in-home appointment exist on an opportunity and the event has

been completed, the opportunity record should be updated to reflect this– A Community Meeting and In-home Appointment cannot exist simultaneously

on an Opportunity Record, one activity must be completed or cancelled before a new one may be scheduled

Working From the Callbacks QueueWorking From the Callbacks Queue


Working from the Callbacks Queue

• Callbacks have a designated activity type associated to the reason for the callback. After new leads have been acknowledged, work from the activities in the callbacks queue.

• Callback activities should be worked according to the following priority: – Appointment Requested– CM (Community Meeting) RSVP– Lead Reassigned– Callback Scheduled

• Each callback activity is assigned a due date. The due dates are in the left-most column of the queue and are color-coded. – Red = Overdue– Green = Due today– Black = Due in the future


Working from the Callbacks Queue

• Work each activity from the queue when completing the outbound call to the consumer; all callbacks must be resolved in this way

• Once a callback has been worked to completion, it will no longer appear in the queue

• All calls should be completed before they become overdue.


Completing a Callback Activity

• Double-click the callback that you are working from the queue– This will open the lead record– Notice the Call Reason that populates in the upper-left corner of

the Contact Record

• After completing the outbound call to the consumer, disposition the record by setting the accurate disposition and resolution, then click Finish– Select the Resolution that is appropriate for the result of the

outbound call

• The Contact Record must also be dispositioned; set the appropriate disposition/resolution on the Contact Record as applicable to the selections made on the Opportunity Record


Schedule or Reschedule a Callback

• To schedule a callback:– Click the Schedule Callback button at the bottom right of

the Opportunity record.– Enter the date and time of the call, as well as the Reason for

the callback – Click Commit

• To reschedule a callback:– Click the Existing Calls dropdown menu and select the call

you wish to change and change as necessary– Click Commit

In the event when a consumer does not enroll, the opportunity is closed for the appropriate reason – the sale was lost, the consumer was ineligible, or after exhausting all means of communication, the consumer was not responsive.
