Insurance Sales: What’s in a Name

December 17th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

What’s in a company name? Apparently, there’s a lot to it. As you can imagine, if you choose the right name for your insurance agency, you’ll be able to have a lot of prospects and leads and customers to do business with. Clearly, one of the major ways to convey the credibility of your company is through your company name. You have two options in naming your agency – you can make use of your name or you go with something catchy.

The most basic rule when thinking up a good name for your agency or even what to name your website address is to consider the keywords. For example, if you’re in the business of selling insurance in California, you can go with a name that has California health insurance on it so that you can easily attract health insurance leads from California. If ever the .com suffix for a website address is already taken, you can make use of things like .net or .biz. That way, your website name wouldn’t be too far away from the type of products that you’re offering to the market.

It’s also important to think up a name that your leads and clients will be able to remember easily. If you pick a long name or an unwieldy name for you company, insurance leads that found your agency online by chance wouldn’t be able to find you again if they wanted to read more about your products or wanted to ask you for an insurance quote. There’s a distinct power to branding if you want to succeed in running your insurance agency. If you’re new to the business or if you’re just getting a website set up, you need to think about a name that’s related to your keywords – and what would be easy for your clients and leads to remember.

If you make us your partner, you wouldn’t have a problem finding medical insurance leads that are ready and willing to buy insurance from you. When you have a company name they can remember, you’re as good as being a top producer in insurance. Looking for insurance leads? Sign up today.

Make a Difference to Your Insurance Sales with a Good Call to Action

November 30th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

You’re obviously trying to target insurance leads and why you wouldn’t. Insurance is a billion dollar industry in the United States because everyone is trying to be prepared and everyone is trying to ensure that they are going to be able to secure a good future for their families.

Insurance agents like you provide a service to a huge population – practically everyone and that is how you are going to succeed. The problem is that even with so many people around to sell to; a lot of insurance agents just can’t get it right. For some reason, insurance shoppers aren’t buying and you aren’t making your insurance sales quotas. Why is that? The answer is simple – call to action.

Every insurance agent in the business has gone through the training and the pep talks but few agents get the chance to really get to a call to action and be successful. So what’s wrong?

First – Don’t get to a call to action without setting up the mood. It’s the precursor for things, the reason why they should be buying for you. Rushing into it isn’t going to work; you have to get them to see the benefit before you try to sell them something.

Second – Answer their questions first. You don’t want to seem like you’re just chasing a sale. Leads are a specially breed of shopper. Since they know they’ve got options and they know they’re going to be shelling out money every month, they’re going to want to get answers. Be patient, listen, react and answer.

Third – Don’t talk too much. Simplify your senses and don’t over complicate. Of course, that doesn’t mean leaving dead air on the line it just means talking like a normal person and not like Speedy Gonzales at a hundred words a minute.

Fourth – When they’re listening and have asked questions close in. A lot of insurance agents leave their conversations by asking their insurance shoppers to sign up for a plan. Instead of doing that, say something like “Now I’ll just need your information so we can begin the process”. Get the information and close the sale with confidence.

Insurance sales are hard enough without you making it harder – close calls with real insurance shoppers by signing up for our high quality insurance leads. Sign up now!

Getting To Your Insurance Leads Fast

October 31st, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

If you want to get to insurance leads fast then there are plenty of things you can do to make the process much easier for you. The faster you can get to your insurance sales leads, the faster you can get sales conversions and the faster you can earn yourself a profit. The advantage of speed is that your leads won’t have to wait forever to get a reply and as such they will find it much easier to purchase an insurance plan from you.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

In order to make the process faster and easier, it’s essential that you have good navigation on your website. Remember that a website that is well laid out and easier to use will encourage people to stay. As any website designer will tell you, the more cluttered the interface of your website the less likely it is that people will continue to look through it. The more they’re encouraged to stay, the more they turn into potential buyers and therefore become good insurance leads.

It is also important for you to speed up the quoting process. Traditionally, insurance agents have sat at their desks and computed insurance plans by hand with a calculator. Those times are no more and with the rapidly increasing pace of internet technology, it makes more sense for you to use an automated system in order to provide your leads with quotes. The quoting system has to be able to take in information from a questionnaire or some other input and then use the information to come up with a potential insurance plan quote. This way your leads can come up with their own quotes in a matter or minutes without having to wait for you to provide them the information they require.

If you want quick prospects then you’ve got to make a resolution to grab the bull by its horns and put in that effort to speed up your process. Making it faster and easier to get to those leads will ensure that you have much greater chance of getting insurance leads through your door and on their way to a new plan.

Characteristics of a Message in Insurance Marketing

September 29th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

Many businesses in every industry under the sun are incorporating promotional products into their marketing campaigns. If you’re running a good insurance agency, you’ll do well to follow their lead. When all the hype is about giving out the right promotional items, you never really hear advice about the message you print out on these things. If you don’t know where to start with that, here’s the lowdown of the most effective message.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

Regardless of what item you’re going to print your agency name and contact information on, you have to be sure that your message is clear. If you use font that’s just too squiggly to understand, you’ll get nowhere. Even if it’s a shirt, an umbrella or a sweatshirt, the font has to be simple and large. You can go with your logo as the art on the promotional item. Maybe someone wearing your shirt is walking on the street. From far away, people already know what’s written on the shirt. They can make a note of the details there and contact your agency for insurance – well not always but it can happen. The point is, you can put the word out about your services and there’s always a chance that it can bring out positive effects.

You also have to be concise about your print out on your promotional items. What your health insurance leads are looking for would be information about who you are, what you do and how they can reach you. If you’re working on limited a character that’s printed on your promotional item, you can print your website URL on the item. This is the best tool you can use to get people to visit your site. Higher traffic equals higher conversion rates. You can be sure that the people visiting your site are high quality insurance leads because why else would then make a note of your website if they weren’t shopping for insurance.

Promotional items that you use in your agency are just as good as the message they have. If it’s clear and concise, you’ve bought yourself a ticket to success. This would also work well in building good reputation to your existing clients.

When you sign up now and get in touch with our high quality leads, they’ll know exactly who you are and what you can do for them.

Common Mistakes People Make When Dealing with their Exclusive Insurance Leads

August 30th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

Just because your insurance leads are exclusive, it doesn’t guarantee that you are going to make a profit on them. In fact, a lot of people buy exclusive leads with this expectation and suffer the consequences. Exclusive leads are obviously leads that are exclusive, or in layman’s terms, lead that are only sold to you for a particular time. Sounds like a great deal right? Well it is, provided you understand what you’re getting in to.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

A lot of agents have the impression that exclusive leads are a sure insurance sale because there is no competition but oh how wrong they are. Consider this; do you think your lead isn’t going to search somewhere else? 8 out of 10 people regularly use the internet. We’re talking about people from all sections of society and of all ages. Do you really think your insurance lead is going to sit and wait for you to call them? Of course not, you have basically lessened your direct competition from agents who buy from the same lead company, but that doesn’t mean you’ve eliminated competition from other sources.

People also mistake of thinking that insurance leads provider companies sell them exclusive leads that they will never sell to anyone else. Insurance leads that are sold exclusively are sold under the premise that they are exclusive for a certain period of time. After that period, those leads are resold to other lead buyers and potentially even back to you in some cases.

Don’t think of your exclusive insurance leads as a sure sale. Selling is selling no matter what happens. If you don’t have the sales skills to sell, an exclusive lead isn’t going to increase your chances of a sell. You have to put just as much effort into an exclusive lead as a shared lead. You are, after all, still selling a product to a customer.

Buying exclusive leads can definitely help your insurance sales conversion, no question, but you have to remember that in order to gain profit from them, you have to treat them just as you would regular insurance leads.

Making Successful Sales to People Who Want to Be Sold to

July 18th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

Market study is important in any industry where you make some sort of sale or the other. Whether you are selling clothes or burgers, health insurance or life insurance, you have to know what markets are ripe for the picking and how exactly you are going to sell to that market. Insurance leads are plenty, but then again so are other insurance agents. So selling to a good market can be difficult. There are no guarantees when it comes to selling but obviously it’s always a good idea to look at pre-disposition to the product that you are selling. Some tips to take advantage of the market are written here.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

Location, location, location. Chances are you’ve heard that term before though the most popular usage of the term was from the extremely successful book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Location is key when it comes to sales as all good sales agents know. If you’ve checked your leads and sales recently (as you should), then you should know that Eastern and Southern markets are perfect to sell to. According to the market research these markets are much easier to sell to than their Western or Northern counterparts. Part of the issue has also been that the South has some of the highest rates of uninsured, which means a wealth of opportunity is available from Southern states.

Gender is another potential market saver. Traditional health insurance leads have always been from the male sector of the population just because men were the most likely breadwinners. Though this is true, most married couples can relate to the fact that women usually dominate household spending. This means that women are more likely to choose insurance than their husbands. This means selling insurance that is specifically catered to women is a good way to make a sale.

Age is another important factor. Remember that your age bracket accounts for a big portion of the uninsurable market which obviously is a market you want to get into because of the potential profits involved.

There are tons of ways to improve your sales but you need the right leads and the right tools to do that. We can provide you more information and better medical insurance leads and all you have to do know is sign up and give it a try!

Internet Leads – Key Success Drivers in the Insurance Business

June 15th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

You have either used internet leads or you haven’t. If you haven’t then you may be wondering how to get started. Chances are you’re also wondering if the promises you see from a lot of internet lead companies are real or not. If you’re newer to the insurance industry or even the insurance sales industry, you’ve probably wondered why there is so much attention placed on internet-generated insurance leads when really they are just contact names and numbers for you to offer a product to.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

Unfortunately that’s where a lot of people get it wrong. Good insurance leads are an important part of your work because they will get you to the right people. If your leads are old or aren’t specific, chances are your conversion rates will not be at the level they could be. Getting the right leads then or essentially the right company to provide those leads will be instrumental in succeeding in your goal to become a top insurance agent.

When selling someone a plan you have to make sure it conforms to what they need and what they expect to receive. It’s easy to understand why insurance leads over the internet are beneficial to you if you understand how they work. Essentially websites that provide insurance information can provide quotes or a sample quote for potential health insurance leads to look at. The prospect can then sign up for a newsletter or be contacted by an agent or can be transferred to a live agent. This means the prospect in question is actively looking for insurance information and is therefore a great insurance lead.

Getting a good internet lead means you have a greater chance of closing a sale. Therefore the more good leads you have the more sales you will be likely to make. Look for a leads provider company that has an extensive experience providing insurance agents with high quality leads that have made them not only successful but have helped them improve their insurance know-how.

What’s the True Mark of a Great Leads Generation Company?

May 18th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

When you’re getting leads from a leads provider, there will be instances when you get bad insurance leads.  But you don’t have to be stuck with them.  In means you should be covered in case some of the leads turn out invalid.  You shouldn’t be losing money to bad leads.  Sadly, this is what happens in an ideal world.  In an ideal world, all leads providers have a good return policy on bad leads.  When you get a bad lead, you can just return it and you’ll get a replacement or a refund – no questions asked.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

Since we don’t live in the ideal world, make every possible effort to ensure that you get high quality insurance sales leads.  You have to go with Leads Generation Companies with a good reputation.  Working with one that has a good standing, you can be sure that your insurance leads are validated, not incentivized and sent to you in real time.  Now what if you get bad leads?  It happens even to the most reputable companies but it only happens every once in a while.

So before you even buy your leads from a particular company, you have to ask the right questions.  You have to make sure that they have a good return policy – a lenient window to return bad leads without going through a headache. Actually, this is a true mark of an upright leads generation company. The moment you return a lead and it’s confirmed to be invalid or bad – you should get your money back or provide you with a quality replacement.  Remember that your money shouldn’t be held hostage or allow you to go through an inconvenient process on leads that you don’t deserve on the first place. If one of these two things happens, you better cross this company out and look for a more trustworthy provider.

Waking the Dead – How to Get the Most Out Of Your Cold Leads

April 11th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

One of the never ending questions when it comes to insurance leads is how much time you’ve got to spend on waking dormant leads. This also begs the question of how exactly do you wake those leads up. Talk to different agents and chances are you’re also going to get a lot of different answers.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

First things first, you have to have a plan which you’re going to stick to. Ultimately you will decide how you’re going to approach your cold leads and a lot of knowledge can come from trial and error – and not just listening to simple tips. You also have to remember that it’s harder to eliminate what works and what doesn’t if you don’t stick to a plan long enough.

Before we talk about how to stimulate those cold leads, let’s figure out first, how to define your cold leads. Typically you’ve got you prime leads (hot leads) which are obviously those ready and able to buy. Then you’ve got your warm leads who seemed to be interested but can’t quite decide yet and then you’ve got your cold leads who haven’t replied to you or don’t seemed to have any interest.

There comes a point when you need to ease off your cold leads. It’s common to stick to your leads and contact them regularly every week for about 5 weeks. As time progresses you need to at least contact them once a month. If you overdo it, your lead might end up more irritated rather than ready to buy.

One of the best ways to market to your cold insurance sales leads is to use the internet. Contacting prospects over the phone is usually an ideal situation when they are warm but it doesn’t necessarily make financial sense when it comes to your cold prospects. That’s why electronic methods are a great way to go.

Sending emails that contain great pieces of information will keep you on their minds and prevent them from getting extremely cold. Just make sure you don’t overdo it otherwise you risk being tagged as a spammer. Lastly of course are email responders. The good thing about email responders is that you don’t need to invest in huge amounts of money and time to send people emails.

A lot of cold prospects might not seem like they’re worth it or you may end up just chasing your warm and hot leads and converting them. The thing is cold prospects can get warmer and can still make you money, especially during those off peak times when no one seems to be buying.

Are you getting a hard time turning your new leads into sales? Sign up today and get high quality insurance leads that deserve your time and money.

Establishing a Connection with Insurance Leads – The Guaranteed Way

March 8th, 2011 by Larry Viel No comments »

Once you fully understand the situation your insurance leads are in, the faster you’ll be able to transform them into insurance purchasers.  Whether you buy your leads from online leads providers or sniff it out on your own, the fact is the same – they have a problem or a need. From the moment they fill out the quote request form, they have a need that you’re supposed to meet.  It can be the need for information. It can be the need for the best insurance plan. Either way you need to connect with this problem.

REGISTER NOW and take advantage of our lead-generation sytems to begin maximizing your conversion rate today.

When you get hold of your lead’s information, contact them quickly.  You can do a sales call outright or you can let your autoresponder send them a welcome email first. You can even provide your health insurance leads with a proposal for the best insurance plan in that welcome email.  When you work quickly, you’ll be demonstrating how willing you are to work with your clients in helping them find the best solution for their insurance needs.

The fact is, when you connect with their problem, you already have a personalized message to leave on their answering machines.  Once you get your lead information sheet, review it and think about the possible solutions you can provide them.  When you make the call, leave a message that shows you understand their situation and you’re ready to help out.  For instance, you get a lead with a pre-existing medical condition.  If you don’t get to speak to your medical insurance leads, leave a message about a past client that has the same situation they are in and were happy with the services you rendered or solutions you came up with.

With your experience, you can point out that you’ll be able to help your insurance leads find a similar kind of coverage.  If your leads need information on choosing the best insurance policy, take the role of educator and be there to provide them with the information they need.  You can send your lead an email about possible solutions and detailed information about insurance.

When you took the job as an insurance agent, it’s not only because of the profits you can get.  It’s about helping others.  Learn more about how connecting with your lead’s problem can lead you to a sale.  Sign up today and take a close look at our high quality insurance leads.
