Have you ever tried to get a quote for an insurance product online? Have you received countless calls directly after trying to get a quote? Have you had to tell agents to stop calling? Have you ever told an agent to put you on the Do Not Call List?
If you answered “yes” to any of the previous questions, you aren’t alone. When first starting out in the insurance industry or for that matter years to come, many agents (and to be honest, I was one of them), will buy leads. Simply put, this means that when you look for a quote online, your information goes to several agents who would like the opportunity to provide a quote. The unfortunate part is that your information goes to several agents and you will received countless calls.
As I mentioned, I was one of those agents who purchased leads when I first began in the industry. What I found, though, is that many people just wanted some information to see what it would cost. They weren’t interested in getting together to have me go over their options; they just wanted to know what it cost. They also wanted the opportunity to just sign up online without my help. I have to admit that this concerned me, however, I also knew that listening to needs of potential clients was far more important. As much as I am concerned about meeting with people to make sure they understand their options, many people know what they want and don’t want to be bothered for another appointment in their already busy schedules.
With all of this said, I worked to find a way for people to get quotes for the insurance products I offered as well as a way they could sign up right through my website. I also made sure to include this option through my Facebook business page.
The products that you are able to find quotes for include health insurance, dental insurance, short term health insurance, and hospital indemnity plans. If you are in need of a quote, click on the “Get A Quote” button. From there, several options of the insurance products that are offered through Balanced Care will display. All you need to do is input your information as directed and if you are interested, you can follow the directions for completing the application and sign up right there.
Some products which include Medicare, Life, Critical Illness, Cancer, and group plans require help from us. If you are interested in these products, there will be an area for you to add your information only if you would like a call or e-mail back. It’s a win for you either way. Instead of getting five, six, or even ten calls back, you will receive one call from someone that has your best interests at heart.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are in the middle of signing up through my website and questions arise, I’m able to take a look at the same area you are in and make sure to answer your questions correctly.
I won’t lie – I would much rather meet with you face to face to get to know you, make sure you understand everything, and guide you along the way. But, this is never about me. It’s about you, your needs, your peace of mind, and I choose to listen.
