Today I am going to be talking to you about “WHY?”  Why should people do business with you and your agency instead of one of the many other options available to them?  I am going to share with you:

  • the importance of having a social proof arsenal
  • how to get started with collecting testimonials and what to do with them
  • the use of ‘risk reversal’ as a guarantee of your qualified services
  • the benefit of having live references ready to go based on the each of your niches

This is one of my favorite topics and I am excited to share my knowledge with you.

Until next time, get out there and make a difference, be unstoppable, and leave no regrets!

Gratefully,

Episode 13 : Wheel of Fortune

Our Wheel of Fortune program is, hands down, our very Biggest Team Motivator!

In our particular organization, the “Living Agency Laboratory”, it is done every third Wednesday of the month in our lobby.  What they have to bring in order to qualify to spin the wheel of fortune is their game tracking sheet. The mindset of the activities listed on the sheet are similar to the type of process where we want to get a series of “yeses”. If you’re talking to somebody about insurance, for an example, what you want to do is you want to ask them questions so they’re continually saying “yes”. It’s the same type of thought process with our team members.

We want them to continue to perform activities time and time and time again so that after a while these activities become daily habits.

So we create activities that they will perform such as telling people about our referral program, collecting or updating e mails within all of our systems. There’s lots of ways they can win and the good news about the wheel of fortune you can create your wheel of fortune matrix – anyway that you want.

What you want to always be doing is always be doing something that’s going to keep people on their toes that it’s going to keep it spontaneous so that they never know where you’re coming from. And that’s really, really important in my book. I always keep them guessing, they never know what I’m going to do and it keeps it fun and exciting.

People love games of chance. They love to get involved. They love to see if they can win, including your team members. Good luck!

To your growth and profit,

The Conversation Going On About YOUR Agency

If someone asked YOUR client about YOUR agency in a grocery store, how would that conversation go? Would there be much of a conversation? Is there any type of ongoing dialogue with YOUR client except when you want/need more money from them?

What is your very best method of consistent communication with your clients, friend, prospects, and emergency contacts? In our Living Agency Laboratory, it’s HANDS-DOWN our agency newsletter. It is the most talked about, generates the most referrals and gains us tremendous credibility in the eyes of all who read and talk about our agency.

I received a call recently from a client who shared a story where they were at a charitable fundraiser, talking with someone about insurance. The other party mentioned that they were insured with Stromsoe Insurance Agency, that one of the things they LOVED about the relationship with the agency is the newsletter. The “other party” actually said “it almost seems like Stromsoe Insurance Agency is too good to be true, they are over the top” .

Just a few of the MEGA benefits of a newsletter :

• More referrals
• Grow your existing client base
• Increase retention, adding more instant profit to your bottom line for up to 10 years or more!
• Get your company partners to help you with the cost

Questions continue to surface on how we organize our team, keep our team together, keep them motivated, keep them moving forward, compensate them at a level that keeps that motivates them, keeps them producing, and so on.

The hands down, number one thing that we do team wise is the weekly team meeting. It happens every Wednesday morning at 8:29am, and it’s over by 8:59am. It’s not very long, but I come to the table with an agenda every week, and I bring something of value to the agenda, a meaningful conversation that might be going on in the mind of my marketplace, and in this particular instance, it’s my team members’ marketplace.

Episode 7 : Delegate Ruthlessly

Delegation, as part of time management, is an “art”…

Time management, identifying and working in the area of your “Personal Gift” is so critical to your success. It’s also a much bigger win for everyone involved when you hire somebody who loves and adores the opportunity to do those kinds of things that you don’t like to do or don’t do well.
