With more and more people shopping for insurance online it's becoming extremely important for agents and brokers alike to start moving a portion of their business online.
This can add a whole other revenue stream for your business and be quite profitable.
I'll explain exactly how to do this and save you some time in the process.
First let me tell you a bit about my story.
My name is Ronald Faithman and like you I've been hesitating 'going online' for a few different reasons, primarily because I didn't know where to start and didn't want to pay for some sort of nebulous advertising that wasn't going to produce results.
After much hesitation and procrastination I took the plunge and started up some internet advertising with an insurance lead network in an attempt to increase my policy writings by getting my business online.
My Experience With The First Lead Network The first lead company I 'tested out' seemed like they knew what they were doing and I did start getting some leads from them, but the leads were just names and incorrect contact information.
Whenever I tried calling and emailing the names I got I never had much luck in closing them and actually creating new business.
I did come close to doing a policy for one young man that I got from the internet but it didn't pan out.
At any case it was exactly what I was afraid of...
I was paying good money to this insurance lead network for their advertising program and all I was getting was basically junk leads.
Nothing was producing revenue for me.
I'll spare you the rest of the details of the other networks I 'tested out' as well but I think you get the point.
To end up successfully moving a portion of your business online you'll need to go through a trial and error process with several different companies in order to locate a network that works for you in your specific geography.
It can be frustrating but it seems that trial and error are the only way to do this because your geography a matters a great deal when you're getting insurance leads online.
