My insurance agent friend John and I had another conversation about how agents can and need to differentiate themselves from other agents. We have attempted to help agents understand the value of educating and solving problems rather than selling an insurance product. This is such an excellent example of this that we just had to […]
One of the most important things an agent can do is to develop a trusted partnership with their clients. A trusted relationship does not come quickly and means agents and their clients must look differently at the insurance buying process. There are many things an agent can do to build productive relationships with their clients. […]
Most business owners can see an insurance agent coming a mile away. Agents, that is not a good thing. Insurance buyers have created a defense mechanism that makes it hard for agents get through.

My last article had a very good real life example of how agents can differentiate themselves from other agents, and how trusted relationships can add real value to the customer. In the case mentioned in the previous article, the agent added $440,000 of value to the customer! So where do we go from here? Where […]
