Free Leads for Insurance

Free Leads for Insurance-

Rather than rely on a lead company to provide free leads for you, take
the time to create your own lead generation funnel

Free leads for insurance is one of the best ways to grow a financial
planning or insurance practice. The problem is, most of the free leads
for insurance that you receive are garbage. Most advisors spend the
bulk of their time looking for sources of free leads when they could be
focusing their tiem and attention on building a sustainable and
automatic lead generation system that consistintly funnel leads into
their business whether they are on the golf course or in a Monday
Morning Meeting.

When you rely on an outside company to provide you with free leads for
your insurance business, you are going to be faced with three main
problems.

Multiply Yourself By Being Interviewed

microphone- One of the best ways that I found to spark interest
in a particular topic and to generate leads and prospects that would
call me was to provide free information that was of value to them. I
know that sounds a little obvious or vague, but let me assure you that
if you do it the way I will suggest, you could create a pretty powerful
stream of qualified, interested prospects that will all call you.

When I talk about the types of information I could provide, it is
really broken down into a couple main categories.

Review of Peter Montoya - A Brand Called You

peter- Have you ever thought of yourself as a Personal Brand? Do
you even know what a Personal Brand is? Well, whether you do or not,
there is something you can learn from Peter Montoya and his Personal
Branding University.

What Is A Personal Brand

The first thing we have to decide is what is a Personal Brand? Taken
right from Peter's website:

Tracking your Marketing Budget

Budget Cuts- It can be really easy to blow through your
marketing budget in no time. A simple ad campaign in the newspaper
could wipe out a quarters worth of the budget and produce very little
results.

This can be a big drain on you mentally and emotionally and really
cause problems with your ability to generate new clients and prospects.
So as you are working with your planning, take the time to budget your
marketing activities and figure out the most effective ways to market
yourself and your business.

If you have wholesalers that you work with, many times they will help
offset the cost seminars and help you with the presentation. Talk with
them. [Read More...]

Writing the Press Release

I have drug this series on press releases out long enough and want to
wrap up this discussion on writing the press release.

I am only going to share a little on this subject because there are
more detail's in the "Lazy Agent Guide" that you can get and read about
by subscribing to the website. To do so, click the link at the top of
this page.

The body of the press release is broken own into a few paragraphs that
have specific purposes.

The goal of the initial paragraph is to explain the problem and tell
the reporter why it is important. It pulls in the reader and tells then
that the problem effects everyone. You want to address a problem that
effects the majority of the people, not just one or two people in your
area. The broader the problem, the better chance you have at striking a
cord with the reporter.

Here are some examples that I used in my practice successfully (I ran a
successful College Funding Consulting practice and used these examples
for that niche, but you can change them and adapt them to your niche
market): [Read More...]

Plan to Be Successful

Handshake- Take a time, anytime that works for you that you can
consistently rely on and plan your prospecting efforts.

Use this time to make prospecting calls, follow up with referrals,
write your press release, or any other activity that will bring more
people in the door.

The best time for me to do this is Monday afternoon.

Monday morning is reserved for following up on pending business and
making sure I am on track with those details and Monday afternoon I
spend prospecting.

Batch your time and efforts for better output and increased
productivity.

An Important Page on Your Website

One of the most overlooked pages that you can have on your website is
the "links" page. This can be called many different things from
"Partners" where you would list different strategic partners or
"Associations" where you could link to different associations that you
belong to.

Let the other companies know that you linked to them and ask them for a
link back to your site. This will not generate a lot of traffic right
away but it will lead to additional visitors to your website.

Now, the next important part is making sure your website converts
visitors to prospects and prospects to sales. Sure it is nice to have a
fancy website that says how great you are, but if it doesn't offer the
visitor a reason to leave their contact information for you, it is not
going to be a profitable aspect of your business. Offer the visitors a
reason to leave their contact info, whether through a free consumer
guide or 10 Tips Report and it will allow you to grab the visitors info
for future marketing.

Make the Sale Super

When you go to deliver the policy or confirmation of investment, how do
you make that a marketable event?

It is actually pretty easy.

Don't just give the new client the policy and start asking for
referrals. Instead, give them something of tremendous value.

At everyone of my sales, I always give at least a fireproof safe for
the client to keep important documents in. They are inexpensive (I get
mine at Walmart for about $50). It acts as a symbol for protecting what
is important to them. If you are feeling up to it, go for a nice golf
club for your golfing clients, a new tennis racket for your tennis
fans. I have even heard of a planner who flies the client and spouse
out of town for the weekend with all expenses paid.

How's that for referrability?

Think outside the box and watch your referrals from these acts blossom.

The Most Important Piece of Paper is...

....a Press Release.

No, not a business card or a newsletter, or a letterhead. A press
release is perhaps the most valuable piece of paper you can have.

The only exception is maybe a signed application.

You should be sending a press release at least once a month, maybe
more.

Saying "Thank You"

How do you feel when you receive a "Thank You" card for something nice
you did? I am willing to bet that it makes you feel pretty good inside
and you want to do something nice again.

How about sending a thank you card to all the prospects you meet and
telling them that you appreciated the initial visit?

It would be an easy and cheap gesture that would almost guarantee a
feeling of respect from your prospect. That would be a good feeling to
generate.

Who Is Behind MarketYourPractice

My name is Brandon Hansen and I am the owner of MarketYourPractice

I first got licenses in 1998 to sell insurance, annuities, mutual funds
and other investment vehicles. It didn't take me long to realize that I
needed to figure out how to market my practice in a way that was cost
effective and easy to implement. That happened to be at the same time
the internet was really starting to gain popularity.

I learned (and am still learning) how to market financial practices
online and am dedicating this site to showing you how you can improve
your overall marketing efforts through internet marketing.

Thanks for stopping by.

The zorgium specific results appear in the right hand margin.

Find other ZORGIUM pages using your favorite search engine:

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
