You feel the urgency of closing enough transactions at this time of the year, and you want to provide exceptional service to your clients. At the same time, they are bombarded with numerous messages, often confusing them about which insurance products are best and when to act. 

As an insurance agent or agency, you’ll need to put your best negotiation tactics forward. Here are some tips to wow your customers and meet their needs during the OEP.

You need a streamlined way to interact with your clients throughout the buyer’s journey. This includes managing client information, communications, and needs throughout the process. 

A customer relationship management (CRM) system is one of the most efficient ways to track your client information at every stage in the buyer’s journey, potentially improving your lead generation.

In the insurance industry, a lead is a potential client who has not yet purchased coverage from you, yet you have their information. Customers might recommend you to other potential clients, or you can generate leads through email marketing or landing pages on your website.

If you make enough cold calls, you’re almost guaranteed to hit the right timing statistically.

Be sure to leave a voicemail: each time you leave a message, the chances of a callback go up (1st voicemail = 11% callback, 2nd voicemail = 22% callback, 3rd voicemail = 33% callback).
