AEP is a sprint. 54 days of intense activity that determines your income for the next year. Without a structured daily routine, agents burn out by week three and leave enrollments on the table. ## The High-Performance AEP Schedule ### 7:00 AM - Preparation (30 min) - Review today's appointment schedule - Pull plan comparisons for each scheduled client - Check overnight messages and callback requests - Review yesterday's pending enrollments for follow-up ### 7:30 AM - Early Outreach (90 min) - Call clients who requested callbacks - Follow up on yesterday's pending decisions - Confirm today's appointments via text - Reach out to 5-10 prospects from your lead list ### 9:00 AM - Appointments Block 1 (3 hours) - Conduct 3-4 scheduled appointments (45 min each) - Complete enrollments during the appointment when possible - Document notes immediately after each appointment ### 12:00 PM - Administrative Break (60 min) - Lunch - Process morning enrollment submissions - Update CRM records for completed appointments - Handle urgent messages ### 1:00 PM - Appointments Block 2 (3 hours) - Conduct 3-4 afternoon appointments - Priority: clients who are switching plans (time-sensitive decisions) ### 4:00 PM - Follow-Up Block (90 min) - Call all undecided prospects from today and this week - Send comparison summaries to clients who need time to decide - Process remaining enrollment submissions - Schedule tomorrow's callbacks ### 5:30 PM - End-of-Day Administration (30 min) - Update all CRM records - Review tomorrow's schedule - Send confirmation texts/emails for tomorrow's appointments - Log daily activity metrics ## Activity Targets | Metric | Target | Top Performer | |--------|--------|---------------| | Appointments | 6-8/day | 10-12/day | | Enrollments | 3-4/day | 5-7/day | | Outbound calls | 15-20/day | 30+/day | | Follow-ups | 10-15/day | 20+/day | ## How unLocked CRM Supports This Schedule **Morning Prep Automation**: Your daily dashboard shows all scheduled appointments with pre-pulled plan comparisons. **Appointment Efficiency**: Quote, compare, and enroll from one screen — no portal-hopping between carriers. **Arwyn During Appointments**: When you are in back-to-back appointments, Arwyn handles inbound calls, captures information, and schedules callbacks into your follow-up block. **Auto-Documentation**: Call recordings and meeting notes are automatically logged to client records, eliminating end-of-day data entry. **Follow-Up Queues**: Automated queues surface undecided prospects and pending enrollments, so nothing falls through the cracks. ## Preventing Burnout AEP burnout is real and costs revenue. Protect yourself: - **Take one full day off per week** — Sunday or Monday - **Eat meals away from your desk** — 15 minutes of actual rest improves afternoon performance - **Set a hard stop time** — working until midnight leads to diminishing returns - **Delegate administrative tasks** — use automation to handle what the CRM can handle ## FAQ ### undefined ### undefined ## Related - https://unlockedcrm.ai/blog/medicare-aep-checklist-insurance-agents - https://unlockedcrm.ai/blog/medicare-aep-client-retention-strategy --- Source: [The Ideal Medicare Agent Daily Schedule During AEP](https://unlockedcrm.ai/blog/medicare-agent-daily-schedule-aep) — unLocked CRM, the AI CRM built for insurance agents.
