< An Introductino to Insurance Lead Generation
It is vital that insurance salespeople have a steady stream of leads. Often, people don't even know about a particular type on insurance and it is up to a salesperson to explain it to them. The salespeople must have good leads in order to know who may be more open to purchasing certain types of insurance. Insurance lead generation is done in a couple of ways. One common strategy is the use of a list service. A list compiling company generates the leads by gathering extensive information on people and then selling either the entire list or individual leads to the insurance salesperson. Insurance companies also offer free quotes in order to create awareness and interest in their services. Of course, advertising is another insurance lead generation technique. List compiling services sell their lists to insurance companies. These lists often have pretty in depth information. For example, if someone's address is located within a known flood area, the insurance salesperson could offer him or her flood insurance. The list services sell the leads in a number of ways. They sell the leads individually, sell the entire list once, or allow the insurance company to subscribe. When companies subscribe, they get a new list with fresh leads at certain time intervals. Free quotes are a great form of insurance lead generation. People become interested in the prospect of saving money when the insurance company offers free appraisals and quotes. Often, the insurance company will offer their rates along with the rates of some of their competitors. Advertisement is a major insurance lead generation technique. It seems that all media, including TV, radio, and print are flooded with ads for insurance companies. These ads create awareness and consumer interest in the company. These ads come in a variety of forms, from serious to comical. Everyone needs some types of insurance. It is vital that insurance companies capitalize on the need that people have for insurance by capitalizing on leads. Insurance lead generation guarantees that the insurance salespeople have a steady stream of potential customers.

Secrets to Buying Without Being Sold Have you ever asked yourself, now how did I let that guy sell me on something that I had no real need for at the time? Do you ever get a sneaking suspicion that your probably not going to really use whatever it is that your buying in the way that it was presented? If this is true which is often the case, then why in the heck do we give up our hard earned money for something that until we heard some sales spiel, we really had no need or want to have. Breaking Through The Comfort Zone Barrier After completing a workshop on personal productivity or time management, we usually find participants react to the instruction on goal-setting in one of three ways: Great Telephone Skills Having good telephone skills is crucial as the call may be the catalyst for a prospective sale or provide vital counseling for a member of public. However, since both parties may not see each other face-to-face, a telephone conversation may not lead to favourable results; on the flip side, it may lead to unintended misunderstanding. Touchdown! Closing Skills for Successful Selling It's early January 2004. The Green Bay Packers are just 72 seconds away from their fourth NFC Championship game. They have a three-point lead over the Philadelphia Eagles, who face an impossible fourth down and 26 yards on their own 28-yard line. All Green Bay has to do is hold Philadelphia to less than 26 yards. One play. That's all. Powerful Words Hi,I'd like to discuss the most powerful words you can use during the selling process. How To Profit From Initial Consultations "I'd love to work with you, but?" At-ti-tude, n At-ti-tude, n. Recommending Products Vs. Selling Them Some of the best sales people I have ever met, were able to meet all of their sales goals without ever selling a thing. They simply recommended their products to their customers. Unique Selling Propositions If you have competitors, then you should have at least one Unique Selling Proposition (USP). The more REAL ones you have, the better - for your Branding, your business recognition, and your sales! Its Better When They Tell Them You know that word of mouth can grow your business. You hear your customers say nice things about your company all the time. So why don't they tell people? And, why don't they write it down? Never Stop Selling The question: "When should a growing company slow down its sales function and focus solely on delivery?" The Problem With Technology At The Point Of Sale In Financial Services Background Creating More Effective Proposals The need for good proposals - the business kind, not the marriage kind - struck me again a couple of days ago, when I received a poor proposal. I had talked on the phone with a sales rep, and then she followed up with a proposal. Marketing Conversations, And Conversation Stoppers Where many marketing conversations get off-track are the ones you have with yourself, before you even pick up the phone or initiate the handshake. As independent professionals, usually at the helm of solo businesses, we sometimes find ourselves facing daunting internal obstacles as we try to begin our day's marketing activity. With no one in our office-of-one to help with a confidence booster, an important resource to have in our self-management toolbox is a means of submitting the negative self-talk for an internal Second Opinion. How to Make Sure You Sell More! Make sure you target women. It's true for almost anything you are selling. According to Women Mean Business: The Secret to Selling to Women, eighty percent of all checks written in the US are written by women and they purchase 80-% of all consumer goods in the U.S. That's not a market segment you can afford to ignore. Even for items traditionally thought of as male dominated, such as consumer electronics, women have significant influence. To Sell Successfully, You Have to Be Willing to Be Different We are complex. We confidently assert that we are independent thinkers but then we can feel uncomfortable -- even embarrassed ? if we break out of "the norm." However, in business the biggest rewards often go to people who are willing to be different. Mindset Over Materials: The Secret Weapon of Sustainable Sales Success Long-term sales success has less to do with skills or knowledgethan you might think. Nor are stunning brochures or excellentproducts guaranteed to make one iota of impact over time. Unlesscertain critical elements already exist in the salesperson,providing training and tools in hopes of improving performancedoes nothing more than giving a PGA golfer's best driver to anamateur. The club itself can't make someone a pro.Yet a pro can take a cheap driver and make a better shot than anamateur with the best and biggest Big Bertha has to offer.Likewise, you probably know one or two standouts who haveexcelled without classic sales training, without flashy supportmaterials for their products, and even without a superiorproduct to represent.Then what makes the difference? If it's not remarkable closingability, appealing brochures, outstanding product knowledge, orrelentless objection handling... if it's not talent orbrainpower or tools that create sustained success, what is it?In more than twenty years studying the top performers in manyfields, I've discovered the mysterious X-factor is mindset: agroup of attitudes, understandings, beliefs, and resultingbehaviors. Whether you're talking about golf or sales or anyother pursuit, the same principle applies. Ultimately, themindset creates top performance, excellent production numbers,and prosperity for both the salesperson and the company he orshe represents.Creating a mindset of sustained success requires you to focus onthree key areas:The beliefs you have about yourself;The attitudes you have about your customers, product, andindustry;The ownership you take of your own success.The Inner Game of SalesYou have to see yourself as successful in the inner game inorder to be successful in the outer game. When you give that"command" to the unconscious mind -- when you imagine howyou'll feel, look and sound when you are producing at the levelyou desire -- the mind thinks it's already occurred and callsfor an encore performance in the real world.The first step to changing your own "mental programming" is torecognize it. Think about it. Think about why you don't do whatyou know intellectually you should. Then start thinking aboutwhat's behind it. What do you have to believe about yourself,your world, your product, your industry, to cause this behaviorto occur?Some common underlying beliefs that regulate salespeople'sperformance are"I need more training and skills before I can succeed.""I'm not worthy of earning more than...""I am not good at cold calling.""I'm not able to talk to (or get to) the decision makers atthe top."Once the underlying belief is uncovered, a new belief must bechosen. The new belief can be the opposite or an "antidote" tothe old one, such as "I have unlimited life knowledge andexperience." New beliefs must then be "installed."Specifically, the new belief must be supported by both evidenceand habit.Start by answering a simple question: What will I have to see,hear, and feel to cement this belief? Then begin vividlyvisualizing these results at least twice a day. (Note: the mindis most open to suggestion first thing in the morning just afterwaking and the last thing at night before sleep.) Many peoplethink that results build belief, and in some cases this is true,but it's more often the inverse. Remember the chain:thought/word-image-emotion-action-result. You must be able tosee yourself already in possession of the outcome of the newbelief.Champions in any field create an unbending belief in themselves,program themselves to continually find evidence to support itstruth, then consistently and vividly see themselves inpossession of the desired goal. William James, the father ofmodern psychology, said, "Your belief creates the fact."Now Forget Sales, and Focus on YourCustomersOnce you've visualized yourself achieving your goals and removedany psychological obstacles, it's time to put those goals asideand focus on the customer. Again, this all happens in your mind,but it has a profound impact on the way you affect your outerworld.Today's customers and clients require a new attitude, one thatoffers something rather than asks for something. In a high-techsociety, high touch is highly valuable. The new-schoolsalesperson focuses on giving instead of getting, on serviceinstead of sales. Always a man ahead of his time, Henry Fordcaptured this mindset eloquently: "Wealth will never beachieved when sought after directly; it only comes as aby-product of providing useful service."This level of service takes some guts. Sometimes you have totell people what they don't want to hear. Sometimes, you evenhave to say, "Maybe I'm not the best for you... I'd like tosend you to someone who will be." Service means that you're nolonger willing to do whatever it takes for the sale. Now you'lldo whatever it takes for the customer -- because it's thecustomer who makes or breaks your business, not an isolatedtransaction.Old Hat, New Head: Take Ownership of YourSuccessHave you heard these ideas before? Are you utilizing them as youshould? If not, why not? Likewise, are there other, obviousprinciples of business success you've overlooked?Sales success grows out of a fundamental mindset, based on someideas that may be "old hat" but require a "new head" to fityou. I operate from the premise that you know what you need todo, and you have what you need to create a six- or seven-figureincome. Most salespeople have heard all the "magic bullet"ideas and pitches. But until you begin to think in new ways, youwill never apply these time-tested principles. The distinctionbetween short-term flashes in the pan and sustained success issimply doing what may seem obvious to you right now. We mightsay, "If the hat fits, wear it." Program Your Biocomputer For Sales Success Selling isn't something you do to people, it's something you do for them. If you feel as though you're being pushy or twisting arms when you are interacting with prospective customers or clients, you might be doing just that. To be successful in sales, you do need to be in control of the sales process and you do need to ask important questions, but you don't have to be obnoxious, overbearing or demanding.
