What Do The Top Life Producers Know That You Don't...

You May Be Able To Survive In This Business Without The Help Of A Coach, But It Is Almost Impossible To Really Thrive…

Dear ~Contact.FirstName~,

I'm sure you have heard it a hundred times, "Everyone Needs A Coach." It is one of the most common pieces of advice that you’ll hear today from self-help gurus. And I'm sure you've also heard... "Having a coach is the fastest and easiest way to grow your business." Almost everyone of the self-help gurus, including our industry legends such as Earl Nightingale, Zig Ziglar and Charles 'Tremendous' Jones, along with today's top gurus like Brian Tracy offer the same advice.

Let's face it, the insurance and financial services world is changing rapidly, it is getting more complicated  and it is getting much more competitive. It is almost impossible to learn everything you need to know, plus keep up with all the changes in our industry.

Having an experienced personal coach today isn’t a luxury, it is a necessity.

Yet, most agents, advisors and planners don’t have a coach, because they think that they can “do it on their own” and/or they are "unwilling to invest in themselves." Not having a personal coach is a trap that most agents, advisors and planners have fallen into, and it is holding them back from having the massive success they desire.
 


Over the past 30 years we've been extremely fortunate to have had several personal coaches, mentors and role models in our lives. We wouldn’t have had near the exceptional success that we have enjoyed, without them.

One of the greatest benefits of having a coach is they will always tell you the truth, even if you don’t want to hear it. Their years of successful experience will provide valuable insight. They will help you develop long-term and short term goals and strategies. Plus, help you recognize areas in your business that can be improved, that you might have overlooked.

Yes, you may be able to survive in this business without the help of a coach, but it’s almost impossible to really thrive… that is why we offer 3 months of one-on-one coaching with each of our specialized systems, and why we have our Trusted Advisor Mentoring Program.

How a coach can help you...

  1. A Coach Makes You More Accountable.

  2. A Coach Tells You Like It Is.

  3. A Coach Saves You Stress And Frustration.

  4. A Coach Saves You Time And Gets You Faster Results.

  5. A Coach Saves You Money.

  6. A Coach Gives You Ideas You Never Thought Of.

  7. A Coach Gives You Insights Into Yourself.

  8. A Coach Gives You A Stronger Sense Of Belief And Self-Confidence.

Additionally, because we've already done what you are trying to do...

  1. Our coaching will help you get off to a quick start... Because we'll help you to quickly fine-tune your lead generation, appointment setting and sales process.

  2. Our coaching will help you to close more and larger sales... Because we'll help you with case development, design and sales presentations.

A Coach will be your your partner, your confidant, your business mentor, your best friend… and a COACH will help you make your dreams come true.

P.S. Here is what just a few of the experienced agents, advisors and planners we work with have said about our personal coaching...

"Hi Lew, I had never seen any coaching and training system like you have. You deliver much more than what you promise. The best part is your follow-up and one-on-one coaching with you (which is so encouraging and is priceless)." Bir I. S. Grewall (33 years)

How to Close 9 Out Of 10 - Fact-Finding Training DVDS

 

"Lew & Jeremy - First off, I wanted to say THANK YOU. I am just at the tip of the iceberg of potential and have a lot of bad habits to 'wash out' and work on new good habits everyday. I have been following IPS for years and have bought a few of your systems over that time. Things really didn't click, or I ignored your wisdom, most likely the latter, but as financial professionals we owe it to our clients and ourselves to become that - professionals. I believe EVERYONE should buy your fact finding DVD's at a minimum. This is the foundation for working with a potential client, asking questions in order to get them to realize they have problems (some that they may not know about previously), understand those problems simply and how you can help their problems with simple solutions without discussing product. I now know when I exit my initial meeting if I did a good job of asking questions and getting the potential client to buy into concepts. If I didn't do a good job, I know what I need to work on as well. Just by getting down to the fundamentals, I have added two clients in the past two weeks with over $25k in annual life premium + $100k-200k rollover funds. This is not even discussing the other appointments I have set in the next two weeks. I have been recommending you to other agents I know who are having similar issues. Thanks Lew and Jeremy! You guys are great!

How To Become The Most 'Trusted Advisor'
In Your Local Community!

Are You Being 'Hoodwinked'?

Most agents are being 'hoodwinked' into spending triple and quadruple the money necessary on lead generation, because they haven't taken the time to learn how to do it themselves for a fraction of the cost. Consider, many agents are purchasing 100 or more leads per month at $15 - $25 each and will spend $1,500 - $2,500 each month to make some smaller sales. Or, they will take a reduced commission of only 40% - 50% to get leads from their agency. If the standard life insurance contact is 90% and they sell $5,000 of premiums per month, then it is costing them $2,000 - $2,500 per month.  Accordingly, in both these situations they are spending $18,000 to $30,000 a year on leads. And, once they start going down those roads, they are trapped, and find it is very difficult to break the habit.

There are a much better and less expensive ways to generate leads right in your local community. When you spend the time to work with people you already know and work to get known in your local community the leads are much better quality, it's easier to set appointments and they lead to much larger sales. However, there is an up front cost in time and money. Here is what one agent had to say about our systems and training.

"Lew, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for recommending the mortgage tool kit. It has definitely helped me increase my average case size from $600 annual premium to well over $2,000 annual premium per case. Also, prior to purchasing the tool kit, I was spending over $2,000 per month on leads. I am proud to say that I have not purchased a single lead in over two months and my production is still climbing. What a life changer. I cannot thank you enough. You're truly making a difference." David Trusler, MBA, IL, Trusler Financial Group
 

 

Here is what our coach and friend Sandy Shussel had to say: "Every profession has people who build on the people they know. I did it as an attorney--and at least some of my attorney clients do/have done it. My dentist did it, my chiropractor clients, realtors, etc.--even my doctor was someone in the community whose kids grew up with mine. My wife started a local retail store...built on visits by people she knows who she invited to come see her store.

Uncle Joe may not want to sit down with his nephew Johnny advisor and talk about his finances, but he has friends he might be open to introducing. A few years ago I worked with an advisor who was competing with his own father for business. No way they'd come to him if Dad was still in the game. But he has friends who have families--parents--children--cousins, etc. He also knows the guy in the coffee shop, the dry cleaner, the people in his networking group, etc. 

Ours is a PERSONAL business and the best business building comes from leveraging personal relationships. You can approach people with product if that works for you, or you can approach them with an offer to serve them.

The alternative, cold prospecting, also works, but it's much less effective and much harder for many advisors who are also dealing with experience and knowledge issues. For them a combination of strategies makes sense, as does joint work. The idea is if I know more people, I'll have more people to start with."
 

 

And here is what David Kinder one of the very successful advisors we work with had to say: "The alternative (which is worse) is to try to do everything with people who have never heard of you. The problem with this... is you have to be VERY good and HIGHLY trained. You have to be very sure of yourself, your value proposition, the results you help clients to achieve, and know your products inside and out. For an agent that's NEW to the business... this is almost impossible. (Which ends up requiring joint-work and splitting business.)

So 'pick your poison' and work your plan.

John Savage said "Anything will work... if you will.""

You'll Quickly Double and Triple Your Income, When You Become The 'Trusted Advisor' People Want To See!

We Have Kept Our Services Affordable For Everyone

Please consider, we could charge you $3,000 or more upfront, with annual renewal fees for our proven sales systems and training, just like everyone else does. And, we could cater to those few agents, advisors and planners that can afford our services. Or, we could recruit a few agents, advisors and planners and require them to contract with us to receive our systems and training, so we could make an over-ride on their business.   

However, this isn’t about us making money. This is about us giving back to this great industry and trying to make a difference. We created the Insurance Pro Shop because there is a serious lack of any real, creditable insurance marketing, prospecting and sales training in this industry. So, we decided right from the beginning that we wanted to give as many people as possible the best opportunity to succeed and earn a significant six-figure income. Accordingly, we are offering our proven systems and training at a fraction of the cost of everyone else.

You'll get all the tools & training you need in these 'Turnkey' programs!

Coaching Corner

How Much Do Your Problems Cost?
By Dennis Postema

Oftentimes, because we truly are in business for ourselves, we let problems fester or hope they solve themselves. However, in most cases, they never do. In fact, I didn't even realize I let this happen in my own business until I started working with a coach and then became a coach myself. Let me explain. 

Ask yourself, what is your practice’s biggest problem that you should be working to solve right now? Write it down, look at it and read it out loud a couple of times. Now, if the problem was solved, how much more productive would your business be? Could you double, triple, or maybe even quadruple your production as well as have even more independence and time to spend with your family?
 


See, we struggle to look at most of our problems objectively. Thus, in most cases, we need a coach or at least an
 
accountability partner because in the back of our minds we think, “Oh, it's just one of my businesses problems,” when in reality there is a huge opportunity cost in not finding the solution. 

So, next time you have a problem, sit down and try to solve it as quickly as possible or get help. Solving the issue can be as good as taking your current income and multiplying it by four!
