If you read the above question, thought about your insurance leads and considered the answer – it’s likely that you would have answered yes. If you need more convincing though, why don’t we think about the typical call scenario or sales scenario and then we can decide whether or not the statement is true or false.

If I contacted an insurance lead right now, the conversation would start off with me introducing myself and my company and what I had to offer. I would ask the prospect if he had tried to purchase a particular type of insurance before or if he currently had insurance and then find out if there were items in his insurance plan that he would like or perhaps a plan he would like to buy if it were available.

Now that I have all that information, I can tell them about a plan I have in mind for them. I can talk about the plan in detail and how different prospects have bought the plan from me. At this point, the prospect would ask how the plan works and how payment schemes are and the inclusions. I would then give them the details they have requested and then at the end, tell them that it is actually a limited time offer (in your case you may not need to tell them this but since most of our plans are on special offers it is a typical routine for me).

At that point, you have created the need and the want to buy that particular plan. Not only do your insurance sales leads now start pondering their options but they would have also felt that the decision was theirs even though in truth it really isn’t because you have actually persuaded them to buy it rather than them deciding to buy it.

So in summary, your insurance leads not only love you because they think you were just providing them information, they will also be happy at the fact that they made the decision for themselves – just some food for thought. Another tip you can use to sell to your insurance leads.

With all the changes the world has undergone, running a business hasn’t really changed much.  The methods we use and the format of business processes are the only ones that changed but the people factor is constant.  The Chinese proverb holds true that a man who doesn’t know how to smile should never open a shop.  And it’s also important for you to build a lasting relationship with your customers to keep your business alive and strong.  If your friend or neighbor is selling something to you, you would most likely make a purchase and that’s for the simple fact that you know them.

As easy as it might sound, building a relationship with your customers and clients can be pretty challenging.  There are, however, a couple of things that you can do to make it seem a little bit more effortless.  For the most part, you have to be reliable.  When your insurance sales leads need information, you have to be a good source of information.  When they need help with sifting through the various policies, you have to be there to lend a hand.  In short, you have to be there to guide your clients towards the right choice.

Learn more about your customer’s needs and what their lifestyles are.  Only then will you be able to find a policy that will tailor fit to their needs.  You also have to be there to answer their questions.  If ever something goes wrong with the insurance plan you set them up with, be prepared to face the music.  It can be difficult to be perfect but if you deal with an angry client head on and not “hiding” from them, you’ll be able to smooth things out and maintain their confidence in you.

Keep them in the loop with updated plans.  Even if they didn’t buy from you the first time, when you update your proposals and send these through email or newsletters, you’ll be putting your name in their memory. When they remember you as someone who was there for them and provided them with great service, it will be the start of a long and happy relationship.
