My favorite holiday season has arrived! Are you ready? More importantly, is your business ready? This is the time of the year that you should be focusing on ending the year strong – and setting up your business goals for next year.

As some of you know, in January the holiday season fades away and consumers begin to refocus on their insurance needs, and we get swamped with requests for insurance quotes.

Is your account set up to take advantage of this increased interest? Here are some tips to help you benefit from this huge opportunity.

Target More ZIP Codes
AgentInsider® makes it quick and simple to add additional ZIP Codes to your account. Unlike some lead providers, we never lock you out of a ZIP Code, giving you the opportunity to expand your targeted territory at-will.

I was recently talking to an agent in Washington who wanted more auto leads. He was looking for additional ZIP Codes in his area that had high lead volume and little competition from other agents. He was targeting all the ZIP Codes within a 3 mile radius of his office, which was generating an average of 7 auto leads per day.

By reviewing the ZIP Codes within a slightly larger radius of his office, I helped him target another 12 ZIP Codes that will give him the increase in leads that he’s looking for as he approaches 2010. And because AgentInsider® gives every agent control of their daily lead volume, there is no risk of getting too many leads. He set up his account to deliver a maximum of 12 auto leads per day

Increase Your Daily Cap
How many leads do you want each day? Are you willing to let others take potential sales opportunities from you?

Many agents do not receive all of the leads in their selected ZIP Codes because they have their Daily Maximum of leads set very low. Challenge yourself and your staff next year by setting your Daily Maximum a little higher in January to take advantage of the increase in consumers searching for insurance.

Try New Lead Types
AgentInsider® has several new lead types available. If you currently receive only auto or home insurance leads, try expanding into renters leads, term life leads, health leads, or business leads. Experiment with these lead types to find out what works for you. You might find that one lead type gives you more return than others, or that cross-selling from one policy to another is easier with certain lead types.
