Go through each one and if you have any questions on them
use our insurance forum to ask for answers

• 1) Listening: I know this may seem like a crazy thing to include under insurance marketing ideas, but in my opinion it is probably one of the most under estimated aspects of being a successful sales person. One of the biggest problems I always had with new agents was trying to have them be quiet at key times. When you ask someone a question, you need to give them time to think. They are sorting stuff out in their minds. Wait for some type of response before you start talking again. Don't be answering for them. Once you learn this art of listening, you will be on your way to being a good sales person....LEARN TO LISTEN.

• 2) The Annual Review:  Another Insurance Marketing Idea I used successfully, was when I come back for that first annual review with my new client. I would pull out my interview notes and again reaffirm why they bought the policies, and somewhere during reviewing my notes I will say "by the way do you remember we talked about getting some insurance on your kids, mortgage cancellation policy, baby sitter policy, guardian trust policy, etc." Because that seed was planted about a year ago at delivery or during my annual review, my clients would always say, oh yes I remember we brought that up. I would then say "Lets go through your annual report and then we can talk about that when we get done reviewing your annual report/policy."

• 3) Making Those Slow Months Work For You:  Over the years, after I built up my client base, I decided to use my slow months to do my annual reviews. Because of the summer months and the days being longer, people would want to enjoy the outdoors more often in my part of country. During these months it seemed harder to get in front of new prospects to sell insurance. So I decided that I would call my existing client base during this time frame, as I would never have a problem getting an appointment with them to sit down and do our annual get together and their annual review. It was during these interviews and using this insurance marketing concept that I harvested those seeds I planted previously and also allowed me to build up my inventory of referred leads.

• 4) Establish Credibility: Somewhere in your client interview process, ask them to see their current life insurance policies and take a quick check to see who the beneficiaries are, especially with newly weds. I have found that in their early years of marriage they just forget to change them. I do not know how many times I have found a ex wife or the parents as the primary beneficiary. This is a quick way to establish credibility.
  

• 5) Make subliminal closing statements during the interview:  During your interview process, continue to drop little subliminal messages such as:

Using these type of comments are part of your relationship building skills that need to be perfected over time.
