Here are a few MILLION DOLLAR questions that must be answered by EVERY SINGLE INDEPENDENT INSURANCE AGENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, the consequences of not asking and answering these questions should be obvious.
1. Why should customers choose me over the thousands of other agents and brokers in my area?
2. Why should customers choose my agency over the thousands of other companies serving my community?
3. Why should referral partners send ME business?
4. What market segment (or) niche of the market are we uniquely qualified to serve?
5. Why am I in the insurance business?
Here’s the ultimate TEST. If you can answer each of these questions succinctly in 30 seconds or less you get at least a B. If not, you may be headed for a problem.
Taking these questions for granted will ultimately lead to unmitigated disaster
The insurance business is poised to undergo a significant change in the way consumers find and choose an agent. Agencies must put specific strategies in place that will allow them to make the shift from a SERVICE oriented business to a SALES driven business.
To many industry professionals the mere notion of chasing and fighting for customers is a foreign concept. They want to continue the tradition of “our reputation speaks for itself” and “we only want loyal customers interested in long term relationships.”
Here’s the rub. In order to get loyal customers interested in long term relationships you have to steal them from somebody else (or) wait for their agent to make a mistake. In sales terms we call that LUCK, which has never been a successful or sustainable business model.
Here’s a BILLION DOLLAR question:
What is my strategy to deal with the recent shift in the market?
