Throwback: "Plan B" in the Broker of Record Letter Process

29 minutes

Asking for the signed Broker of Record Letter is hard enough, but what do you do if the prospect actually says no? Do you have a 'Plan B' or do you just rollover at that point and agree to blindly offer quotes? I would tell you that you need to stick to your guns, do not quote (yet), and utilize a 'Plan B' so the prospect will make a choice in your favor after they get a chance to test your Bugatti-like services.

In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht teaches not only what the 'Plan B' ought to be but he'll give you the exact script to use when creating your own personalized 'Plan B.'

Key Quotes:

“A professional has a plan. A professional has a strategy. A professional knows what they're going to be doing next. Even though you might not always know what to expect, you should always have a next step. Plan A, Plan B, Plan C.” - Charles Specht

“In Plan B, you're giving the insured a plan on what you're going to be doing going forward so that they can see the value they're getting out of it.” - Charles Specht

“Plan A is first and foremost, that's what we're working on first. Plan B, which is what this podcast episode is about, is sticking to your guns and not just giving in. But having a plan of attack that is still pushing towards the Broker of Record letter. Frankly, when you do that, you're going to have really, really good results.” - Charles Specht
