Try selling it!Although insurance companies have some of the most entertaining commercials on television, most people still dread shopping for insurance more than just about any other product or service. The experience people have often leaves them confused as to what they are really paying for.As an insurance agency owner since 2001, I have learned it doesn't have to be that way.This book will explain how people can have a better experience when buying insurance if:* They feel that their needs are the focus of the agent.* They feel confident the insurance coverage will help them when it's needed.* The customer relationship is maintained by the agent through effective communication.This book will also explain how insurance agents can:* Create a learning environment when meeting with a client.* Foster the perception of an insurance expert.* Build an agency team of teachers.* Continue to educate and coach clients beyond the initial purchase.The best salespeople are good teachers. Buying insurance requires trust that the policy you buy is what you need. An insurance agent that can educate someone on their needs as well as their policy coverages will earn that trust. Maintaining that trust as life and needs change will allow for a long term client/ advisor relationship which is the ultimate goal. |

| business to business insurance sales: Insurance Agency Optimization Scott Grates, 2019-05-20 Insurance Agency Optimization was written by a multi-line insurance agency owner, for multi-line insurance agency owners. It was written to help agency owners understand that they are not alone. The reality is almost nobody who owns an insurance agency ever planned on owning an insurance agency. Once upon a time I was a highly successful salesperson, or sales manager, or corporate executive or somebody special in some other field. Then, I got sick of working for somebody else and I thought it would be awesome to own my own business, create my own schedule, make tons of money, travel the world and golf a lot. So I opened my own insurance agency. The problem is insurance agency owners who jumped into this industry during the 21st century have a much different looking opportunity than those who came before them. It's still a tremendous opportunity, but the rewards aren't realized until several years of dues are paid. This book was written to save agency owners time and money as an alternative to present day trainings and seminars which offer quick fixes, silver bullets and shortcuts to success; none of which exist. Insurance Agency Optimization uses simple, easy to understand mindsets, systems and processes which have worked in all sales industries since the beginning of time. This book focuses on the common denominators all successful agencies share. Readers will learn to consistently focus on daily disciplines which increase levels of health, happiness and overall productivity. You'll be given the essential mindset required to win each moment so you can win every day. And it will provide you and your teams with the tools required to dominate your market and ultimately work so efficiently your competition cannot even be compared to you. The insurance business is simple, but it's certainly not easy. You recruit, hire, train, educate and continuously motivate highly productive team members. You get to know your prospects by having conversations which uncover needs and then you offer the best possible solutions to satisfy those needs. Sounds simple, but again...it's not easy. This book was written and The Positive Impact Club was developed to make your life as the proud owner of a multi-line insurance agency much easier and will put you and your team on the right path to: Recognize and optimize every customer opportunity within every interaction each and every day Stand above and ultimately eliminate your competition Create a winning office culture with personal and team accountability Plan, prepare, track and ultimately WIN every day Implement a simple, repeatable sales processes to uncover multiple customer needs within one relaxed conversation EARN more referrals, ELIMINATE wasted marketing dollars and RETAIN more customers than ever before Become the happiest, healthiest and most productive version of yourself Perhaps you didn't fully understand what you were jumping into when you opened your insurance agency. And chances are you often times feel overwhelmed, confused or frustrated. The good news is you are not alone. The better news is there are proven ways to improve your results spelled out in this book. The best news is, this book will show you how to close the knowledge/action gap. It's great to know things, but without action knowledge is useless. Insurance Agency Optimization will challenge you to take one, two or three key components that best suit your agency and implement them immediately. The strategies shared in this book are proven to work and grow your business regardless of where you are today. After reading Insurance Agency Optimizationand joining The Positive Impact Club the only regret you'll have is that you didn't know all of this sooner! |

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say.

| business to business insurance sales: Ten Years to Midnight Blair H. Sheppard, 2020-08-04 “Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act.” —Harpal Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the Children International In conversations with people all over the world, from government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, discovered they all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities--stresses caused by very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries; Polarization as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex roots of these crises--but they also offer solutions, albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example, in an era of globalization, we need to place a much greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need computer scientists and engineers conversant with sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness. |

| business to business insurance sales: What Money Can't Buy Michael J. Sandel, 2012-04-24 In What Money Can't Buy, renowned political philosopher Michael J. Sandel rethinks the role that markets and money should play in our society. Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we put a price on human life to decide how much pollution to allow? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars, outsourcing inmates to for-profit prisons, auctioning admission to elite universities, or selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay? In his New York Times bestseller What Money Can't Buy, Michael J. Sandel takes up one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Isn't there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of markets? Over recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues, we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society. In Justice, an international bestseller, Sandel showed himself to be a master at illuminating, with clarity and verve, the hard moral questions we confront in our everyday lives. Now, in What Money Can't Buy, he provokes a debate that's been missing in our market-driven age: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society, and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets do not honor and money cannot buy? |
| business to business insurance sales: Insuring Tomorrow Tony Cañas, Carly Burnham, 2017-06-02 For several years, the Property Casualty Insurance Industry has been talking about a looming talent crisis. Today, crisis is no longer looming, it's very much here. The average age of an insurance professional is around 60 years old and the number of insurance pros over 55 has increased by 74% in the decade before 2012. Making things worse insurance has a bad reputation in society and only 4% of Millennials report having an interest in working in the industry. In the last few years we have been hiring thousands of Millennials, but we haven't done a good job of engaging them and retaining them in the industry. This is your guidebook to not only keep your Millennials but grow them and help them fall in love with the insurance industry. Carly and Tony have been immersed in the topic for over five years, and since 2015 have been running the popular insurance blog InsNerds.com. Tony has also been speaking at industry conferences about how to engage and retain Millennials in the industry. His session has been described as fascinating, interesting and hilarious by audiences all over the country. But an hour long presentation doesn't allow enough depth to really dig into the problem. This deeply researched book is our answer to this perplexing problem. Written in the easy to read style of InsNerds while also being informative, engaging and full of answers to the most perplexing questions and concerns about growing the next generation of insurance superstars. Finally, here is the answer to the most important insurance question of our time: Where will our future leaders come from? |
| business to business insurance sales: How to Sell Property and Casualty Insurance 2nd Edition: Understanding Insurance Sales, Tips and Techniques. Michael Bonilla, 2019-02-13 When a marketing rep comes into your office or someone from the management team and tells you to, 'Sell the value', how often do you find yourself rolling your eyes? As a former agency owner and now a consultant, I often find myself spouting the same slogan. Why? Because, I have done it and done it quite successfully. Whenever a rep came into my office and told me to sell the value of carrier X, I would think that's something an expensive company would say or an overpriced company, because what else could they say?We've officially entered a hard market cycle in California on the personal lines side, which is strange to even say. The market has tightened up and many carriers are non-renewing or reducing underwriting appetite to not take on a lot of new business in California. This is why I started writing in 2014 and again in 2017, 2018 and 2019. In my estimation our industry is going to see a massive shift over the next 3 or 4 years. A shift from judgement underwriting to block chain and data underwriting. Artificial intelligence has already been underwriting, selling and handling claims for smaller insure-tech companies for the past 4 years. This is a prevalent trend in our industry. But, why?Why? Because, we have shifted our focus from selling peace of mind to selling a price. Why? Because, we have put more value on talking about premium, payments and price, than having hard conversations about protecting assets and families. We have shifted hard on price, and almost every insurance company has followed suit in their marketing efforts. Almost exclusively every billboard, social media ad and print ad espouses X insurance carrier savings you up to 25-43% on your insurance per year. The conversation has shifted in a way that will cannibalize our industry and wrongfully set expectations for consumers.A recent study by insurancequotes.com found that around 80% of consumers self-report in blind surveys that consumers shop or are prompted to shop based on price. This study is congruent with most studies down on consumer behaviour. |

| business to business insurance sales: The White Coat Investor James M. Dahle, 2014-01 Written by a practicing emergency physician, The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals. Doctors are highly-educated and extensively trained at making difficult diagnoses and performing life saving procedures. However, they receive little to no training in business, personal finance, investing, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and asset protection.
