While insurance agents may sometimes feel as forgotten as the Maytag repairman, when your clients face crisis, you quickly rise to the top of their contact list. Because you are such a critical part of making your clients’ lives easier, shouldn’t you also make it easy for them to stay in touch with you?
Modern technology provides a variety of tools that make contact with clients easier than ever before. Be sure that you’re using them.
Truth be told, most people want a quote before a conversation. Modern consumers aren’t interested in a sales pitch. They want quick and easy access to facts. A quote generator allows your prospective clients to independently generate the information they need to determine that you’re the right insurance provider for them.
Quote generators do more than provide information to clients, however. They also provide information to agents about clients, a valuable tool to have at your disposal when you do make one-on-one contact with them.
Younger Americans don’t even bother to answer phone calls anymore. Rather, they communicate via texting. If you’re not using this invaluable tool, you’re missing out on an opportunity to stay in touch with clients while simultaneously developing a more personal relationships.
Your website can also be an effective line of communication with clients and prospective clients. Often visitors to your site are seeking specific information, insight, and advice. Instant messaging makes direct contact with this audience possible. Whereas many contemporaries don’t want to become entangled in lengthy phone conversations, IM-ing, which mimics texting in immediacy and brevity, allows expedient communication on the spot.
Online conferencing provides a venue to communicate within and outside of your agency. Whether sharing insight into insurance marketing with peers or advice on insurance portfolios with clients, an online conference allows agents into the homes and businesses of their partners at their convenience.
