Our 100 sales and marketing tips list this year is broken down into 10 important categories. We've already covered social media, old school, new school, inspirational tips, planning for tomorrow, getting back to basics, education, self help and thinking outside the box. This list focuses on that little law called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

91. Be PPACA's myth buster. Most consumers (and your clients) are blissfully unaware of, or simply confused by, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

92. Register with the exchanges: Register with your state's health insurance exchange to be a certified producer. That way, as you're helping individuals and small businesses, you can offer a full spectrum of options, and gain policy sales from those who qualify for the federal tax credits and purchase a policy through the exchange. —Christina Merhar, Zane Benefits
