Video from our FREE Online Business Course www.myownbusiness.org Session 6 – Business Insurance Question “What is a good way to go about finding an insurance agent?” Kelly Davis Insurance Agent Topics covered in this video: Business insurance, finding an agent, referrals Transcript: Your best option is to talk to people you know and the peer group in the business that you’re looking to go into. Referrals are usually the best option because if somebody likes the agent and what they’ve done, then that agent to consider. It’s just so much simpler. You just cut right to the chase. The agent has already done your type of business before and it can be a very smooth process. Just talk to friends about what you’re doing, and that you’re looking for an insurance agent and it will pop out of somebody’s head: “Hey, I’ve got this great agent who does wonderful things and they know their stuff.” That’s pretty much your best option. There are also the yellow pages, the Internet, etc, but I would ask around. I think that’s your best bet.

In the spring of 2006, we stumbled across an IDEA, a SYSTEM, that revolutionized our business. I’m a Relationship Marketing expert in the area of Insurance & Financial Services. Owning my own agency with my husband allowed me to know the trials and tribulations of the industry. The ups and downs, the eb and flow. We’ve experienced it all! Once we found this system, our business began to EXPLODE. But it was more than just a new software to implement, more than a simple marketing campaign, it was a MINDSET. “GIVE THEM THANKS” is the essence of Relationship Marketing. Your clients have no desire to be “buddy buddy”… but they need to know that you care about them and appreciate them. Otherwise – I guarantee at some point they will go to the guy down the street because they THINK they’ve got a better offer. What were our results? In less than one year – our retention grew from 92% to 97% (that’s UNHEARD OF) In less than one year – we became a BY REFERRAL ONLY BUSINESS. In less than two years – we saved over $50000 from other marketing ventures that we discontinued. A penny saved is a penny earned. Those dollars went BACK into our pockets! In 2009, we have YET to prospect our insurance business, yet wrote hundreds of policies this year alone from referrals from clients, business associates, and friends …
