Thank You For Your Work
Dear Agents,
As Open Enrollment comes to a close, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the extraordinary work you’ve done over the past several weeks.
OEP is no small undertaking. Long hours, nonstop calls, shifting guidelines, and constant demands are all part of the reality—and yet you showed up every day with professionalism, resilience, and a genuine commitment to the people you serve. Because of your dedication, thousands of individuals and families are entering the new year with coverage they can rely on.
Your efforts did not go unnoticed. The impact you made this season is meaningful, and it reflects the expertise, care, and integrity you bring to your work.
As we look ahead to 2026, we know the year will bring challenges unlike any we’ve faced before. The landscape is evolving, expectations are rising, and the work ahead will require even more from all of us. But with those challenges come opportunity—new ways to grow, innovative tools, expanding markets, and exciting developments we look forward to sharing with you.
At NHP, we are energized by what’s ahead. We’re building, refining, and investing with a clear purpose: to ensure you are equipped, supported, and positioned to succeed—no matter what comes next. We’re excited about the future and even more excited to move forward together.
On behalf of our entire FMO team, thank you for the focus, energy, and heart you brought to this Open Enrollment Period. We are proud to work alongside you and grateful for the partnership we continue to build.
Take a well-deserved breath, celebrate the win, and get ready—we’re just getting started.
With appreciation,
The New Health Partners Family
Don’t Coast in December: 7 Smart Tips to Set Yourself Up for a Strong New Year
December Isn’t Slow Season—It’s Strategy Season
While many people mentally check out during the holidays, top agents know December is a powerful opportunity to build momentum. The actions you take now can determine how strong—and stress-free—your January and Q1 will be. Here are practical, easy-to-apply tips to help you finish the year strong and start the next one ahead of the curve.
Tip 1: Lean Into Year-End Conversations
December is when clients naturally think about money, goals, and stability. Use this to your advantage. Protection and planning conversations feel more relevant right now because families are already reflecting on the year ahead.
Pro move: Frame conversations around peace of mind, not pressure.
Tip 2: Build Your January Pipeline Now
Your January paycheck doesn’t start in January—it starts in December. Staying active now means warmer leads, scheduled appointments, and stronger follow-ups when the new year begins.
Pro move: Book January check-ins before December ends.
Tip 3: Keep the Momentum (Even If It’s Lighter)
You don’t have to work at full speed—but don’t stop completely. Consistency matters more than volume.
Pro move: Shorter workdays + daily touchpoints = momentum without burnout.
Tip 4: Refine Your Call Flow
December is a great time to improve how you communicate. Tweak your opening, tighten your messaging, and focus on clarity.
Pro move: Record practice calls or role-play with a teammate.
Tip 5: Sharpen Product Knowledge
Confidence sells—and December is perfect for mastering explanations so you can start January sounding sharper and more prepared.
Pro move: Focus on explaining benefits simply, not technically.
Tip 6: Strengthen Your Follow-Up Game
Follow-up is where deals are won or lost. Use this month to clean up your system and stay organized.
Pro move: Create follow-up templates you can reuse in Q1.
Tip 7: Remember Why You Do This
The holidays can be stressful for families. Your role isn’t just sales—it’s service. You’re offering reassurance when people need it most.
Pro move: Lead with empathy. Trust follows.
Final Takeaway
December isn’t about slowing down—it’s about setting yourself up to win. Agents who stay intentional now don’t scramble later. They start January confident, prepared, and already moving forward.
At NHP, we’re here to support you through every season—and this one matters more than you think.
