How to market a Medicare business, from the first ad to the renewal.
Live training Marketing masterclass
I was in the trenches like most of you.
Now all I do is market, and train agents to market. Everything today comes out of my own ad account.

Today, you'll learn how to build your own Medicare Marketing Machine.
01
Consistent, predictable leads
How to generate them, every month.
02
A full campaign, from scratch
Campaign, ad set and ad. What to set at each one, and why.
03
Scale predictably
Know when an ad is really working, and how to scale the budget without breaking it.
04
Turn leads into clients
Then into more policies per client, with the cross-sell.
NextBut first, imagine this.
Imagine if…
+Leads came in every day, predictably.
+You knew exactly which ad was working, and why.
+You knew exactly when to scale, and by how much.
+Your funnel turned clicks into booked calls.
+Your follow-up ran on its own, so no lead slipped through.
+Every client turned into two or three policies.
NextSo why doesn't that happen for most agents?
Most agents
One month the leads are great. The next month, they dry up.
Type in the chatType 1 if that's you
NextIt's not your fault. Here's why.
Most agents were taught the old way.
The old way
Hunt for the perfect audience
Stack interests and hope you guessed right.
The old way
Only in person
Seminars, events and knocking on doors. It works, but it doesn't scale.
The old way
Buy leads
Rented, shared, and gone when you stop paying.
the rules changed. nobody told you.
NextWhat works now.
What works now
The Medicare Marketing Machine.
Leads in, every month, predictably. Because you built the machine, and you own it.
NextFour myths you have to stop believing first.
But before we start, let's break four myths.
these are why most agents' ads get stuck.
Myth 1
The magic is in the targeting.
The truth
Your creative is your targeting.
Meta has gotten very good at finding buyers. The ad itself tells it who to go find.
Nextmyth number two.
Myth 2
Make one great ad.
The truth
Testing is the name of the game.
Test different formats and angles: AI videos, regular videos, images. Then put the money behind what wins.
Nextmyth number three.
Myth 3
Go by industry benchmarks.
The truth
Beat your own numbers.
Every business is different. Your account average is the only benchmark that matters.
Nextthe last myth, and it is the one that costs agents the most.
Myth 4
If it is not working, it is the ad.
The truth
Sometimes it is your system.
The leak is often after the click: the page, the booking, the follow-up.
Nextthe four rules that replace them.
The four rules of the Marketing Machine.
Rule 1
Creative is the lever
Not the targeting you try to set up.
Rule 2
Angles and formats
Each one opens a new pocket of buyers.
Rule 3
Kill fast, scale slow
Cut losers early. Grow winners carefully.
Rule 4
Know where the ad sits
Top, middle or bottom of the funnel. Judge it by its job.

NextHow to make ads for each level.

An angle is just a different way to speak to the same customer.

Justin knows sign language. Working with Johnny, he found a way to get booked appointments with ASL clients. It worked so well, we had to turn his ads down to $1 a day.

How to tell where an ad sits.
Look at one number in Ads Manager: frequency, by the day. It's how many times one person sees your ad.

the higher the frequency, the lower in the funnel.

Setup
Campaign, ad set, ad. What to pick at each level.
coming up: the one setting that decides who Meta finds for you.
01Creative02Setup03Numbers04System
Every campaign has three levels.
Campaign
What you want. The result you tell Meta to go get.
Ad set
Who and how much. The audience, and the budget when you are testing.
Ad
What they see. The creative. This is where the real targeting happens.

Go broad.States and age. Let the creative do the targeting.
Quick tip: a bigger map.Adding states beyond the ones you're licensed in lowers your CPM, and that lowers your cost per lead.
One angle per ad set. One or two ads in it.
The ad set
Broad, one angle
Your licensed states and age. Each angle gets its own ad set: AI ads in one, Q&A in another, testimonials in another.
The ads
Only one or two
Put four in, and Meta spends on one and barely shows the rest. One or two gives you a real test.

Numbers
What is winning, what to kill, what to scale.
coming up: the two questions that tell you exactly where to look.
01Creative02Setup03Numbers04System
Two questions. Every time.
Question 1
Is my cost normal?
Compared to my own account average. Not the industry.
Question 2
Is my volume normal?
Am I getting the usual number of booked appointments?
if one is off, that tells you exactly where to dig.
Kill fast. Scale slow.
Your benchmark
Your own numbers
Read every ad against your own account average, not generic benchmarks.
The metric
Cost per booked appointment
The number you actually manage to.
Kill
3x your target cost
If an ad costs three times your target, it is dead. Turn it off.
Scale
Holds under target
Winners that stay under target earn more budget.
Alone, each number says nothing. Together, they tell the story.
