How Important is an Online Presence as an Insurance Agency?

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

Why your insurance agency needs a strong online presence.  

There’s no doubt about it – we’re in the digital era. Communicating, working, studying, and more is done online. The tech industry is evolving faster than any other time in history. Consumers today make fast decisions, and they back up those decisions by doing research online. This means that even if you are the best salesperson, if your potential client has already made their decision online before they even talk to you, you will never be able to give your sales pitch.

A good way to know where to begin your online marketing is to Google your competition. Where do they appear on the search results? How are they doing things differently? What do your social media sites look like (if you have any)? Are they kept up to date with engaging information?

It’s important to be active in all aspects of online marketing to increase the professionalism of your online presence. If someone loves your website but visits your social media sites only to find old and outdated information, it’s unlikely that they will believe you’re knowledgeable and committed.

The majority of tech-savvy consumers are doing these searches before they make a purchase. It’s time your agency starts evolving into a modern marketing organization.

Why You Should Use Professional Photos to Build Your Brand

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

Should you use professional photos in your branding?

Personal branding is all the rage right now. Everyone has a brand – but some of us are more skilled at realizing its potential than others. For insurance agencies, building a reputable brand is important to stand out from the crowd. All too often, insurance agencies rely on stock images and poor-quality photos to represent their company. The art of building a brand lies within the concepts of authenticity, excellence, and uniqueness. There is something to be said for professional photos, too.

Using photography to reinforce your personal brand is an excellent way to take advantage of the visual nature of the human brain. High-quality, personable, and professional photos are an effective way of enhancing your position as an expert and instantly connecting with your readers or customers.

Having a professional headshot is the only way to be taken seriously in the industry of insurance. You should always strive to use the same headshot across all of your social media channels, email, and personal website to help people recognize you and add to your credibility. Think outside the box, too – the style of photos, background, clothes you wear, and facial expression will also influence people’s perceptions of you.

To squeeze all the benefits from professional pictures, ensure you establish your brand’s visual style from the very beginning to ensure all the images you use align with your overall value proposition. Think about adding a little something different to set your pictures apart from the rest on the web.

How to Know It’s Time to Automate Your Marketing Needs

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

person on laptop

Understand when it’s time to invest in digital marketing technology.

As an insurance agent, you know how hectic a typical working can be. Not only do you need to work with clients, find new clients, stay up to date with industry trends, and more, you also need to market the insurance agency well. You may think that you don’t have enough hours in the day to learn how to market the agency to its full potential. If this is the case, it may be time to automate your marketing needs.

What is marketing automation?

Marketing automation is a software platform that executes marketing efforts in social media, email marketing, contact management and more – all automatically. This helps you to create targeted campaigns, provides actionable analytics, and quickly turns leads into clients.

How do I know if I should automate my marketing needs?

Many insurance agencies will limp along with half-hearted marketing campaigns. However, these can prove to be inefficient, ineffective, and time-consuming. Here are a few classic signs that it’s time to automate your marketing needs:

  • You waste valuable time on repetitive and often inefficient marketing tasks
  • You’re too short-staffed to scale your marketing efforts up
  • Your marketing efforts seem almost non-existent compared to your competitors
  • You need a tool to keep up with all your marketing tools
  • You send the same marketing content to all of your contacts as often as you can 

If any (or all!) of the signs above are the case for you, be sure to consider automating your marketing efforts to help your agency reach more people easily.

Major Social Media Updates Insurance Agents Should Know

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

facebook iconImprove your social media marketing efforts as an insurance agent.

Social media is a 21st-century tool that most (if not all) businesses use on a daily basis. It constantly evolves the way that we communicate, work, and function. As an insurance agent, there have been some important developments this year that you should know about. Here are a few you should know to improve your social media efforts.

Google+ has shut down
At the time of writing, Google+ will have been shut down. After a bug caused the data of half a million users to be exposed, they made the announcement the social platform would be eliminated. If you’ve been using Google+ to promote your advisory, make sure you update your links accordingly. Remove Google+ share buttons from your website.

What Instagram users expect
Facebook (who owns Instagram) released a new report that provides insight on what Instagram users expect from brands on the platform. According to research, more people are using Instagram and they are using it more than they used to. The platform is most popular with people under 34, and research revealed they are interested in short and well-targeted content.

LinkedIn hits record high levels
There are more than 610 million professionals interacting on LinkedIn. This is a pretty good reason to join the platform and use it to promote your insurance agency. Since 40 percent of members visit LinkedIn each day and interaction is up more than 60 percent year-on-year, it’s time to take your agency to LinkedIn.

Will Direct Mail Ever Die?

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

letter in a letter box

Turns out, direct mail is thriving. Is your agency making the most of it?

Believe it or not, but direct mail continues to thrive. Many can argue that digital ads are slowly killing direct mail marketing efforts, but this is far from the truth. Even though we grow closer to a digital world, consumers are showing that they still favor direct mail. Here’s why.

Direct mail gets the best response

Think you’ll never hear from prospects if you send them a letter? Think again. A 2017 study found that direct mail received the highest response rate of 5.1 percent when compared to email and paid search response rates (0.6 percent). Although social media is taking marketing by storm, the response rate was only 0.4 percent. When we put these stats into perspective, it’s clear that direct mail is still king.

It’s tangible

In this digital world, consumers like to be able to feel and touch something that they cannot with digital marketing. A flyer or leaflet has weight, substance, and dimension. According to Small Business Trends, 80-90 percent of direct mail gets opened, and only 20-30 percent of email gets opened on a good day

It complements other forms of marketing

Direct mail can thrive on its own, but it has proven to work well with digital ads, too. According to Merkle, direct marketing campaigns that used 1 or more digital media experienced a 118 percent lift in response rates. By encouraging consumers to visit a website in your mail piece and/or incorporating an email blast to follow up on prospects, you can ensure that more buyers are going to respond to your campaign.

How to Earn $1 Million in Insurance Commissions

Posted on by Mike Stromsoe

dollar bills in a pile

Learn how to achieve financial success in insurance.

Whatever the industry you’re in, it’s important to have a desire for the work. A passion will fuel any employee on any day, and that can mean the difference between success and somewhat contentment. When you think about some of the biggest names of any business – Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg – success and achievement are not about the money. In fact, it’s about the mission and excelling their unique ability to do more and do better.

If you are looking to do better in insurance, you have come to the right place. If you want to earn $1 million in insurance commissions, you will have to think outside the box. Getting to that figure means writing 10,000 policies at $100 commission each or 10 accounts at $100,000 commission each. There is no right or wrong answer. What many insurance agents fail to do is make a plan. Instead, they begin each day working on their existing book and taking whatever comes along. In general, this doesn’t yield astounding results.

Your commission book must net a minimum 30 percent profit in order to authenticate its value. If you don’t know your book’s profit margin, just ask your agency owner or division leader to advise you. It’s important to understand the profitability of the book you’re producing so that you know where to improve.

It takes confidence and intelligence to earn $1,000,000 in commission sales – and lots of it. You will need to connect effectively with people at any organization level. Confidence increases as we educate ourselves in insurance, technology, and all matters that will help increase the value of our client’s business. Not only that, but emotional intelligence helps us to read others and think wisely about our next move. People who think about what their client wants rather than reacting as a habit are innovate and can achieve worthy goals.

Insurance is the perfect industry for professionals who love a challenge and have a deep need for significant and contribution.

the word facts on a paper on a piece of string

Did you know these interesting facts about the insurance industry?

When most people think of insurance, they think about stale documents that are monotonous and dreary to read. However, this is simply not the case. The insurance industry can be exciting and interesting, and still has the ability to fascinate customers and independent insurance agents alike.

Starbucks pays more for employee health insurance than it pays for coffee.

  • The very first insurance contract was signed in 1347.
  • The Amish believed that insurance meant they had no trust in God and they saw it the same way with Social Security as well, so they would accept no Social Security benefits or any insurance policies.
  • The Netherlands happens to be the only country that has a law of health insurance being compulsory for everyone. However, the premium costs are not charged via age groups or your health status.
  • Sony sells electronics and has become well known for this, but the insurance division is their biggest source of their profits.
