    Latest Trip

    I posted before on the Trip i was trying to qualify for . The last one i believe was Aruba which i made. I figure if i post this one since i feel i am at least in the running right now , will bring me some luck. Plus i wanted to see where you guys would go because this trip is different from all the others.

    The others they have a single trip. Most you have to end up as a top agent to get it. Cigna was Top 45 in the Nation. I just snuck in at 45 .

    This one is you qualify automatically depending on your sales. Starting at $110,000 you get a list of trips to choose from. You have from 1/1/2016-12/31/2016 . Every $10,000 is another list of trips. So i am not competing with other agents . I believe hopefully i can get to the $110,000-$130,000 levels. It will not be easy because they only count fully underwritten applications which means if someone is in an Open Enrollment and i sign them up-it will not count towards the trip because they did not have to answer the medical questions.

    So far in the years i have done this i have had a few trips which are awesome which is a great perk for a Job. Aruba,Barbados, and Paris are where i have gone so far. At present i am at $50,000+ but i just handed in a bunch which should hopefully get me much higher.

    So here are the list of trips at the $110,000 level. Some offer add on perks like gift cards. All include of course Air fare and hotel . And also different unlike the other trips is you pick when you want to go.

    $110,000 LEVEL
    - Las Vegas (Weekend Getaway-Free show tickets)
    -New Orleans(3 Nights-$200 Gift Card)
    -New York Times Square(Weekend -$200 gift card)
    -Miami Beach(3 Nights )

    The trips of course get better as you go up. What would you guys choose if given the chance?I may not make it but i think it will be close and i have a shot.

    Actually that was my first choice too as i have never been there. My wife has but i have not. I would love to see the French Quarters. These are the trips at the $110,000 level some time if it looks like i have a shot at the $120,000 or $130,000 i will put those on here. There are higher then that but it would be really hard to get to. But the $130,000 had a couple really good ones .

    That is interesting how they have changed the program on you. I'm curious what are the location of the trips at the highest level?

    New Orleans is one of the food capitals according to a lot of different ratings. First place on a bunch.

    They actually did not change anything . This is a totally different company that happens to have great prices on the Plan F .Which is the best plan there is.

    Other companies still do it the other way. One trip and you either have to reach a certain amount by the end of the year or be one of the top agents and meet a certain amount to get it. A few of our agents(I did not qualify for this one) Just got back from Iceland.Two of our agents got that one.

    This one myself and one other agent are in the running for. It is the only company i ever saw that actually lets you pick from a list of trips and you say when you want to go. I actually like that better . However you will not get all the extra perks that come with a single trip. When i qualified as one of the top agents for Cigna(I was the only one from my office that did) we went to Aruba and they pretty much had stuff for you to do every day everything included. PLus you get free gifts every day. Gift Baskets, Rum cakes,Picture Frames with your group picture,etc...) We did have one day to do what we wanted which was nice. This one will not give you all the Extras. It includes the Airfare and hotel and some include extra stuff depending on the trip . Like the New Orleans includes a $200 gift Card. The San Fran one includes tickets to the Zoo and Sea world and a Panda acess to meet the panda . Stuff like that.

    I actually liked the $110,000 -$130,000 levels better then some of the higher ones. You get more days. There was a 7 day Caribbean Cruise at $130,000 .The higher levels had some good places but way less days.Like Level 4 has St Thomas for 4 nights. That is $140,000 of sales . So i can sell $140,000 and get 4 days or do $130,000 and get 7 days on a cruise. There is also at the $130,000 level Jamaica for 5 nights all meals included. The top level has some neat stuff but i need $180,000 . There is New Zealand 6 nights Breakfast included,Spain 7 nights includes cheese tasting and wine,and a 7 day Hawaii cruise .Bali for 6 nights is there too.

    from the opening post, I'd pick Miami

    but from the last post, if you get to a higher level, I'd pick any of those over Miami

    New Zealand would probably be my first choice then Bali or Jamaica

    The only reason i would not take Miami is because i have already been there. I have never been to New Orleans would love to see the French Qtrs. I landed in NZ on the way to Australia for like an hour at the airport. Long flight. Here is what they include for that one. But i would have to reach $180,000 which will be extremely hard since everything has to be underwritten. If i was able to include Open Enrollment i would be at least $20,000 more right now but it does not include it.But if i can keep pressing i do think i can have a shot at $110,000 - $130,000 . Got to get to the first level first though to get at least something out of it.

    Here is New Zealand

    This 6-Night Experience includes:• Roundtrip coach air for two persons from any major airport within the continental U.S to Auckland• Roundtrip airport transfers• 6 nights classic dexule accommodations at The Langham Auckland• Breakfast Daily• Coast-to-coast helicopter tour of Auckland’s West Coast• All applicable room taxes• Travel package is based on two persons; doouble occupancy• U.S. passport required to enter New Zealand

    Been by the Hilton in Rose Hall many a time. Looks like a nice spot. I'd go to Jamaica over the rest of the choices, hands down. Not far from the city, golf at Cinnamon Hills or Half Moon is right there, and you can go see the haunted Rose Hall Great House which is right across from the hotel. Oh, the beach and ocean are fantastic too.

    Cool that is one i really am looking at and i love that all 3 meals a day are included. But i have never been on a cruise either . I love stuff like haunted Halls though i would like to see that. I have to get to that level first though. Need to get to $110,000 then go from there to at least insure i get something out of all this.

    And i just officially broke $110000 today. Still have sales pending too and if they go through i will be even closer to the next level of trips. But as for now i have qualified to go on the New Orleans trip. There are other ones too but that is the one i liked the best at that level .

    So my years end total is $143000 in sales so i reached the 4th level of trips. I really like the 3rd level better then the 4th even though they are supposed to be better.

    I really am looking at either the 7 Day Cruise or the 5 day Jamaica Trip. The 4th has a 4 day Canada trip for skiing (We don't ski ) ,St Thomas for 4 nights, Cancun 5 nights(Been there a few times already) and Belize for 5 nights and that only gives you a one day tour with a BBQ. The Cruise gives you all the food included even a free day at one of the specialty restaurants and a gift card. And it s an Ocean View room. The Jamaica gives you all meals included none of the next level gives you that some just breakfast.

    I am leaning Cruise !!!

    I agree - i looked at the picture and it said Radiance Of The Seas. I looked that up online and it says Royal Caribbean . Now i do not know if they just threw a picture of any cruise ship up there but it is the exact same picture i see on the website that they have for the contest too. Eventually Medico will i guess call me and ask what i want . Then i will find out if the picture actually is the cruise ship. i am assuming it is though.
