Stop selling insurance!
After a workshop, like me or give a speech to a group of agents, I wonder how many of them are engaged in the sale of insurance policies. Inevitably increase by about 25% in their hands. My answer to them: "If you're in the business of selling insurance policies, it is hard to pass, because nobody wants to buy insurance!
Nobody wants to buy insurance. Not homeowner, auto, life, health or disability … They just want to guarantee that. They just want the advantage.Believe me, if you could get the services they want in another way, they would. So … If you "sell insurance" success will be tough. On the other hand, is whether it is going to help people with a different story. Now we can deduce that protest just a matter of semantics, but there are fundamental differences between the Focus and Focus Assist sales.
This difference is almost everything a person does with the way they do.If you have a sales focus, their emphasis is for sale! Everything from initial contact with close monitoring of the presentation is in terms of marketing. Marketing, contact, presentation and follow-up of a product or a business perspective. On the other hand, a person who assists in place of the sale will understand that the service they provide (assistance) is vital, and ensure that they are concentrated only wayThe solution for what they create.
Let me illustrate what I mean. Learn how a sales focused person to contact, "Mr. Jones, my name is Bob Smith and I am with ABC Insurance Company We have a complete range of products to meet your needs .. I have a time to show our products and how they can solve your problems. "The focus of the exchange of everything to sell their insurance products. In contrast, focuses on a person to help contact this way: "Mrs. Jones, my nameis Sue Smith and I help people protect their assets / reduce staff turnover / exploit their financial security. It 'something that is important to you? "They understood that a professional for help, instead of a vendor to sell products.
There are many other distinctions, which concerns a professional approach to help a sales strategy, and have large consequences. Professional help instead of selling. Are customers instead ofcustomers / policyholders. They build relationships printing execution of operations. They offer solutions instead of selling. Go instead of continuing customers of customers. People buy them to be sold. They find opportunities for cooperation instead of competition barriers. Think about the consequences of this distinction. We have always heard that people do business with people they like and people like people who help. Have you heard the term "trusted advisor?" Thisspeak. This occurs when the volume of change to help. Imagine with customers who are eager to refer others to you.
When you take the attitude of a professional and take attention away from products recommended to focus on? You! You are purchasing services clients. You are precious. There will be a resource. Are you an expert. Customers do not look at insurance policies for the answers, they look at you! A major challenge in achieving thisposition is clear on what is unique, so you can effectively communicate with potential customers and clients. I often work with my clients about their aim to clarify and identify their strengths, so that the marketing and the effectiveness of leadership.
An interesting challenge we face is that it tends to dampen our forces, especially when it comes to us easily. We tend to take for granted and we tend to think that all the same (or better) capabilities.Exercise is very revealing, I often ask clients to be five people they know in five properties that make them good at what they do to ask. (My suggestion is that people with no family to ask to ask customers and friends ..) You may be surprised at the results. I believe that the answers into three categories. 1) You will hear things about yourself that you and everyone already knew, and thus confirms 2) You will hear things you already know, but I do not thinka second note, so that new insights into what people know and value, and 3) You hear things that I did not know about you, things have never sat down on a property, others will be appreciated.
These features and insights are the things that distinguish the rest out there. These are the things that causes people to do business with you. These unique features will help more effectively if you contact new prospects, your ideas, and generatereferrals.
I think when people are unclear on what they judge and are unaware of their purpose (Inotherwords why they do what they do) that ultimately lead to their products and companies. They depend on the strength and credibility, instead of keeping to himself. The goal of professionals in order to be credible in their own right. This is not necessarily the best experts in their field, but it's still very goodwhat they do as a professional – to help others. This means finding new ways to help. It may also mean that in a different way to help with security. It can be a source of information or a source of contacts in your community becomes. Provide advice in other areas of activity or life (other professionals are more than happy to give you an article and insight you can give).
The point of all this is the selling of insurance to stop and start helping people. It 'wassaid that people no matter how much you know until they know how much you care and it is true. The interesting result is that when the fire sales and bring it to help you attract more clients, generate more referrals and sell more insurance. Life is beautiful …
