Marketing Yourself As An Expert
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 9:12 am
The most common question I get from insurance agents is, "How can I attract new customers?"
My reply is always to find ways to promote yourself as a valuable resource.
Here is a simple way to start.
Pick an insurance topic - any topic - and start a blog about that topic. Every day post a different idea or information on the topic. Get the word out to your community (you do have a community, don't you?) of what you are doing. Build your site into the place for buyers to get the info they need.
Post enough and you have a book that can be printed (Google "Print on Demand" to find publishers) into a book.
Here is my Bank Insurance Site - http://www.BankInsuranceBlook.com
Here is my Workers' Compensation Site - http://www.WorkCompBlook.com
Here is my General Insurance Blog - http://www.InsuranceBuzzer.com
Both sites use Blogger.com, a free service of Google. Easy to set up and use. If you have trouble, find a 12 year old to help you.
I you want to be perceived as ordinary, act ordinary. Cold call. Use lame lead services... If you want to be extraordinary act extraordinary.
