Insurance agents should be looking at the future.  Is your agency able to compete with companies that are selling the same products as you, online, 24 hours a day?  Does your insurance agency have a niche?  Are you writing just the easy stuff or do you also spend time on harder-to-place commercial lines that have less competition and can create higher revenue for your agency?

We have been trained to think of summer as time to relax.  This happened to many of us when we attended school and had a summer break .  So why not use this time to take a look at your insurance agency. Insurance agents can use this time to make plans for September and the pre-holiday season before the December slow down and to set a trajectory for 2021.

Buying leads is a very popular way for an insurance agency to grow.  Insurance agents often purchase leads to get new clients or to expand the types of clients that they are reaching.  But, do you know how well they are really working for you?  What is your conversion rate?  How many leads do you need to buy to close one single new client?  Are you focused on niche leads that offer you opportunities to quote multiple lines of insurance?  These are just some of the items that I will discuss in this episode.
