Success Factors from the Front Line
Agents tell us they succeed with the AgentInsider® Lead Program because they:
  • Respond quickly
  • Designate a staff member to manage the lead flow
  • Diligently work the leads and don't give up after the first try
  • Position themselves as trusted advisors
  • Set realistic goals: Average 8-12% close rate
  • Give it some time, practice makes perfect
Consumer Behavior
Online-sourced insurance consumers are like other consumers:
  • Auto insurance is confusing and complex; consumers are looking for help in navigating to the best coverage options for their situation
  • They should be guided through the buying process, and should feel that they are making the final decisions
  • People are afraid that they will be forced to buy something
  • They are looking for an agent who is friendly, trustworthy, confident and knowledgeable
  • They won't buy unless you ask for their business
  • If they don't buy right now, listen to their needs and calendar an x-date for follow-up
  • Turn their objections into sales opportunities!
 
    Email Strategies: Don't write a book!
  • Professional, clear and succinct
  • Less than 60 seconds to read; less is more!
  • Include a call-to-action
  • Prioritize your objectives with bullet points

    Subject line is Critical
  • Get to the nitty-gritty
  • Make it personal and relevant
  • Industry experts suggest using no more than 35 characters
  • Never leave the subject line blank

    If prospects are not responding,
    reevaluate your call-to-action:

  • "I specialize in insuring Honda Accords and can help you find additional discounts. Give me a quick call when you have two minutes."
 
Keys to Success - Back to Basics:
  • Have a sales strategy in place to work Internet leads
  • Make contact with the lead as quickly as possible (5 min or less)
  • Don't give up after your first try!
  • Be prepared – know your product and your competitor's products
  • Educate your prospects, sell them on the benefits of your product
