Most people don't think about Medicare until they have to.
That's exactly why this conversation matters.
In this episode of Capital to the Coast BNI, Mike Manning sits down with Bonnie Beliveau of Beliveau Insurance to discuss how she left a successful corporate accounting career and built a thriving Medicare insurance business centered on education, relationships, and referrals.
Instead of confusing clients with industry jargon, Bonnie simplifies Medicare into understandable conversations that help people make confident decisions—and that simple approach has fueled consistent business growth through referrals.
You'll learn:
• The Medicare enrollment deadlines everyone should know
• Common mistakes that can create lifetime penalties
• Why working with a local specialist matters
• How exceptional customer service creates loyal clients and referral partners
• The role BNI played in growing a successful business
• Why entrepreneurship often takes longer than expected—and why consistency wins
You'll also hear Bonnie's entrepreneurial journey, lessons from leaving corporate America, how she built credibility from scratch, and why treating clients like family has become her greatest marketing strategy.
If you're a small business owner, networking professional, or someone approaching Medicare, you'll leave with practical ideas you can put to work immediately.
Capital to the Coast BNI features conversations with successful entrepreneurs and professionals from across North Carolina who are building businesses through referrals, relationships, and community.
Hosted by business coach and BNI Trainer Mike Manning, each episode explores the stories, strategies, and simple ideas that help service-based business owners attract better clients, strengthen their messaging, and grow through trust instead of transactions.
