Coaches Corner - Do You Need More Sales Leads?

Featured Article

Dear ~Contact.FirstName~,

Most agents and advisors make the mistake of just thinking about immediate short-term results, and fail to plan for the long-term. Here is a idea to help you to double and triple life insurance sales leads, to make it much easier for you to have long-term success!

How To Double Your Life Insurance Sales Leads!

Getting started in the insurance business and succeeding is extremely difficult. Building your credibility, so you can consistently find and attract the ‘right’ life insurance sales leads, is certainly one of the hardest parts of this business. Using direct mail, buying leads, offering seminars and running newspaper ads are all effective ways to attract life insurance leads to you, but they are also very expensive and they don't really build your credibility the right away.

What if there was a way to quickly build your credibility for little or no cost, to make finding life insurance sales leads, setting appointments and closing sales much easier and more cost effective?  

How much more effective would your direct mail campaigns, seminar invitations and newspaper ads be... if you were already the recognized expert in your community? Could you double and triple your response rates... Your Life Insurance Sales Leads?

How much easier would it be to get people to call you and then set an appointment with you, if the people in your marketplace already knew about you and understood the value of the services you provide? 

How much easier would it be to close life insurance sales if you were the respected, trusted financial advisor in your community?

That’s the incredible power of ‘Free Publicity!’

It will take a little work on your part, but getting the attention of a local reporter is not that difficult.  Every day reporters need new stories to fill magazines, newspapers, radio and television airtime. They need newsworthy material that will draw a viewer's attention and keep it.  If you have a story with a spin that hasn't been heard before, you can get free publicity.

Here's a 'step by step' procedure on how to get the attention of a reporter and get free publicity for your life insurance and financial services business, to help you find and attract high-quality life insurance sales leads.

Step 1... Find the Right Media Outlet.  Identify your niche (your ideal prospect) and then find out what media form those prospects watch, read or listen to, then start watching, reading and listening to those media outlets. You don't want to send a news article to a men's sporting magazine, if you're dealing with widowed and single women. Get to know your audience and think of the kinds of stories they would like to hear or read.

Don't stop your search at your local paper, TV or radio station, the free newspapers in your area, and the college newspapers or radio stations.  Think about national magazines, newspapers or TV stations.  Go online to discover the different media forms that specialize, like horse lovers, gun buyers, young parents, and golf addicts.  Find the ones that pertain to your best prospects!

Step 2... Write an Interesting Story. Think in terms of stories, not your product. News media are not about to promote your product, service or company. They are interested in entertaining or informing their audience, not selling for you. Give them an interesting story. Reporters need an on-going supply of "news" and if you make it easy for them, they will bite. It is unlikely that your product or business changes weekly, but if you offer a different angle on a topic that has been covered before, they are more likely to be interested, than if you spit out the same PR information as everyone else.

Step 3... Use Current Events To Draw Attention. Use current events to bring freshness to a dull topic.  If you sell annuities, you could write about how seniors (or one of your clients) were affected by the down-turn in the stock market. If you sell health insurance you could write a story about how the new health insurance laws may affect the small businesses or families in your town. You don't want to sell product or services. Getting your name in the news and a link to your website is more important. So pick one item or service from your business and write a good story with a human element that has an intriguing beginning, a solid middle and a satisfying end. If you just write about your product, that's boring. If you write about someone saving their home or business using your product, that's a story. Think in terms of headlines. Find the story angle that you could put in a headline. Would it draw attention? If not, keep thinking.

Step 4... Be Concise In Your Article. Make a strong compelling case for your "news." Reporters wade through a lot of information. They have deadlines and aren't interested in reading through reams of information to find a kernel of good news. Use bullet points, bold fonts, photos and highlighting to pinpoint the most important parts of your pitch. Watch the evening news and listen to the lead-in to news stories. See how they grab the attention of their audience. "Coming up next, the secret to..." "Stay tuned for the dangers lurking in your home that you need to know." "The truth about ..." Use these same techniques to summarize your story idea and make it appealing.

Step 5... Identify The Reporters.  Once you have identified the media outlets that your best prospects tune into, and you have thought of a good story to pitch to them, take note of reporters who specialize in writing stories relating to your business. You're wasting your time and theirs if you send your publicity pitch to the social reporter of your local newspaper, when your business relates to business buy-sell agreements. Don't expect your story to be sent to the right person. Find out the name of the correct reporter before you send your story.

Step 6... Get A Correct Contact Address.  To get the address of the newspaper, TV or radio station that you've identified as being a good marketing outlet for your business, go online. Use a search engine to find their web site and click on CONTACT US. Search for your reporter's name. If it's not there, use the company phone number to call confirm that "John Smith" is the sports reporter or whatever reporter it is that you are looking for. Confirm the address as long as you already have them on the phone.

Step 7... Follow-up With An E-mail or Phone Call.  Reporters get busy and are often distracted. They might put your story on the stack and forget about it. Or maybe they thought your story wasn't relevant or newsworthy when you sent it, but then something happens that brings the topic front and center. Call, email or write a letter to the reporter and remind them of your story. Convince them why it would be a good idea to cover it now. Be polite and to the point, but if they say no, accept it and thank them for their time. You want to remain on good terms for the next news idea you may have.

Whether you realize it or not, you face competition every day.  If you want to make your life insurance sales career a whole lot easier, then you must stand out in the crowd. You must brand your service and your image... if you want to double or triple your life insurance sales leads.

Important Message For You... From Jeremy

Stop Waiting For The Perfect Time!

“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect.
There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions.
So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
Mark Victor Hansen

It’s easy to say, “I will start when I have more experience, money, time and resources.” However, by this time next year, you will have even more excuses. It’s a never ending cycle. And once you get caught in that cycle, it is very difficult, if not impossible to break free.

Many of the people we talk to, are living their lives without ever stepping-up and going for it. But, I can tell, that it is exciting to witness the few rare individuals who dare themselves, step-up, take the chance... and then succeed beyond the wildest dreams!

Most of us live with the illusion that we will always have tomorrow to make changes and step up and out of our comfort zone. So, we consistently procrastinate until we run out of time and money.

Unfortunately, we seem to always default toward following a more comfortable path. Our comfort zone provides a state of security. Can you understand why it’s so hard move out of our comfort zone?

You can be as successful as you can possibly imagine, if you will just dare yourself to step-up and move outside of your comfort zone... starting right now!

Yours in success,
Jeremy Nason
Trainer, Coach, Mentor

Coaching Corner

Do You Need More Sales Leads?

Consider for a moment... how many lead sources, lead generation systems, or seminar systems have you tried? Please think carefully! Has your appointment setting or sales ratio dramatically improved using these new leads? I’m not talking about a slight improvement. Have you seen an improvement of 50% or more in setting appointments and closing sales using these new leads? My, educated guess based on experience tells me you haven’t.

Then would you agree, that you should try a different approach to the problem?

It’s time to start asking more questions in every phase of the sales process. Whether it’s the initial contact, during your seminar or in the sales presentation, you need to be asking more questions to help your prospect to identify the real problem. Stop trying to persuade your prospect to take action. Start learning about the prospect's true needs.

Remember... Whether you are trying to sell your prospect on setting an appointment, or you are trying to make a sale, you must get the prospect actively and emotionally involved in the process. You must ask enough of the right questions to help your prospect to agree that they have a problem and agree that they want your help to correct the problem. If they don’t believe they have a problem and that you can help them with a solution, then why should they waste their precious time meeting with you?

Asking questions is simple, but it is not easy to master. It takes practice, lots of it, to break the old way we were taught to sell, which is telling rather than asking.
