There is a Hard Way, and there is an Easier Way to Sell Life Insurance! Part 2

Dear ~Contact.FirstName~,

Last week we wrote an article 'There is a Hard Way, and there is an Easier Way to Sell Life Insurance!' The hardest, most time consuming and expensive way to sell life insurance, is to try to find the few people who need life insurance and actually want to buy life insurance right now! The easier, less time consuming and less expensive way, is to find the people in your community, who need life insurance ...and then help them to want it right now!

The problem with this easier approach is that most agents have not taken the time to learn what to say, or what questions to ask, to get people to want to set an appointment with them, and then take actions on their recommendations. (consultative selling) They are strictly focused on just selling a product. (transactional sale)

 Lew Nason Quote

A 'transactional sale' is a simple, quick sale in which the customer already knows what he needs, so there is little to no product knowledge required to make a sale. The buying criteria usually hinges on price or ease of acquisition. Transactional selling is just about the product. In a transactional sale, value lies within the product and price becomes the primary selection criteria. Any time a salesperson hears price as an objection, they are selling transactionally!

'Consultative selling' is a more complex, long-term process, involving collaboration of both the buyer and seller. Consultative selling is about first developing an understanding of the client's needs, and then crafting a solution to help the client achieve their objectives (wants).

Consultative selling is about attracting long-term clients and not just customers. It's about building a long term client relationships, with the aim of acquiring future sales.

Note: Customers are generally people who come to you mainly to buy a product or service. Clients come to you mainly for your advice and solutions based on their particular needs.

The focus of consultative selling is on value. It has less to do with what the customer is buying and more to do with the why. The consultative sales process, places more responsibility on the salesperson than simply discussing the product and its price. It requires the salesperson to know more about the customer, their goals, the changes they want to make and the results they hope to achieve. It requires the salesperson to make connections between the product and the value it creates. It requires the salesperson to make a compelling case for how he or she can create real value and do so more effectively and efficiently than the competition.

Lew Nason Quote

Consultative selling is extremely powerful when the client does not know what their goals are, or how to achieve them. In this situation, the salesperson is more of a coach, who guides their clients toward establishing their goals and objectives and then helps them create action plans that deliver results.

Consultative selling is about you asking questions and then really listening to the client. It is about having a real conversation with the client. And it is not that difficult to learn. It just takes practice.

The benefits of learning consultative selling are outstanding... You will soon be able to make More appointments, More Sales, Much Larger Sales, Repeat Sales and get More Referrals. And, you'll save lots of time and money... Because you will need fewer prospects!

So, how do you learn 'Consultative Selling'? It is all in our How To Close 9 Out of 10 Videos. It is over 6 hours of insurance appointment setting, fact-finding and sales training videos (3 DVD Set) and over 6 hours of audio (MP3) containing all the critical info from our live Advanced Fact-Finding Techniques Boot Camp.

P.S. Listen: Over the years, you're going to spend thousands of dollars in time, money and effort promoting your business. Why not take the time right now to learn how to do it the most cost effective, money-making way? Why not learn the marketing, prospecting, appointment setting and sales strategies that most of the leading agents, advisors and planners on the planet use? It just makes good sense.

“The common denominator of success --- the secret of success of every man who has ever been successful --- lies in the fact that he formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do.”

Dare to Think of What You'd Do
Seventeen years ago, I was so afraid to let go of my law practice and pursue something I loved, that I honestly believed I simply didn’t know what I loved. This is the reality with which many of my clients first come to me. “What would you be doing if you weren’t doing this?” I asked Frank, an engineer who was recently laid off for the fifth time and who has become very unhappy with his profession. 

Start Building Your Practice With People You Already Know
If you need a plumber, would you prefer to hire someone you found in the local phone book, or someone your neighbor used for a similar problem and recommends highly? If you need surgery, would you prefer finding your surgeon through your research on surgeons.com or seeing a surgeon who performed successful surgery on a family member or is recognized as the top specialist in his field by your trusted internist.

Success Story

"Jeremy, I just wanted to let you know how much of a difference Insurance Pro Shop has made  in my career.  I used to be a final expense agent working 10 to 12 hours a day. I didn't think there was anything else out there. When I heard about what your program was about, and what you were teaching I decided to take a chance. I was skeptical at first, but after a few weeks of mulling it over I decided to take the plunge. It was one of the wisest decision I have ever made.  Now with the support of Insurance Pro Shop I am only working a few days a week and earning the same income.  The extra time that you have afforded me has given me the time to really study my craft and truly make a difference in my community, thank you so much." Sam Chand - NJ

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

9 secrets to becoming a 6-figure
celebrity advisor in your community

By Dennis Postema

Becoming a well-known advisor is simple and easy. As long as you take the right steps to get there. Sometimes, it means doing the little things in your community to get your name out. Here are nine steps to increase your leads.

1. Write helpful, informative blogs.

2. Submit articles to local publications, magazines and newspapers.  Please note you may have to pay for your work to be published until editors see it is worthwhile and educational; not a sales pitch.

3. Be at every community event and volunteer your time (i.e., Relay for Life, Alzheimer’s Association walks, etc.).  Lending a helping hand is free, always needed and greatly appreciated.

4. Host your own radio show or ask the expert program and address valuable hot topics. Again, you may have to pay for your program to be aired in the beginning.

Brian Tracy Quote

5. Advertise your picture and agency on place mats and menus. I have found this is the best use of marketing dollars depending on prices and geographic location.

6. Give away your own, or someone else’s, informative booklets for free. Be sure to include a personal touch or cover letter with each one. If you want to give a more valuable free gift, write a foreword or testimonial for a book and then give away the book with it.

7. Compile a list of all of the television, radio, email and publications in your area. Then, write a press release for everything you do with your business, and send it to them to spark attention.

8. Work with someone to develop a paid media campaign to get you on FOX, ABC, NBC, etc.

9. Always be respectful and kind to everyone you encounter while serving them unceasingly.

Coaching Corner

Be Consistent!

Here is a crucial idea on how you can generate more leads, more sales, make more money and guarantee your long-term success in this business. It seems so easy. Yet most agents are missing out. They are not being "consistent" in their marketing efforts. You can't do just one mailing, run just one ad, do just one joint venture mailing and expect spectacular results. Marketing just doesn't work like that!

You need to create a marketing plan and budget it for the year. And then follow through with it. For example, maybe your plan calls for mailing 300 letters a week, developing and maintaining an internet website, and running 2 small ads a week in local newspapers per month for your free educational workshop. If that's your plan, you must stick to it.

Over a three-month period, you will create momentum, and sales and profits will start rolling in. If one of your marketing methods stops working... Modify Your Approach!

Never just give up on direct mail or advertising entirely - test a new ad or sales letter.

Whatever you do... Be Consistent!

Lew Nason Quote

I'll tell you why… Insider Secret - because people buy when THEY are ready to buy, not when YOU are ready to sell.

So, what does this mean to you? It means that sending out a FREE Report to a prospect is not enough. When a prospect calls to get a FREE Report, what they are basically saying is that they are interested in buying what you have to offer (but are NOT necessarily ready to buy yet). "Yet" is the important word here. At some point in time, they will be ready to buy, and the agent that gets the sale will be the one who stayed in front of them until they did become ready to buy.

Statistics show that 80% of sales happen after the 5th contact.

  • 80% of all sales are made after 5 or more client contacts

  • 48% of all producers give up after the initial sales call

  • 25% more give up after the 2nd sales call

  • 12% more give up after the 3rd sales call

  • 5% more give up after the 4th sales call

Only 10% of all producers continue past the 4th call, which means that the persistent 10% are making 80% of the sales!!!!!!

Insider Secret - One of the best ways to stay if front of prospects, clients, family and friends is with a monthly client newsletter

It's Taken Us Over 30 Years of Testing and Refining
to Make All of This Possible... and Affordable!

We Have Kept Our Services Affordable For Everyone

Please consider, we could charge you $3,000 or more upfront, with annual renewal fees for each of 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 use 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 each of our proven systems and training at a fraction of the cost of everyone else.
