Now whether they’re email marketing leads, telemarketing leads, or website leads, your insurance company needs to make sure that these leads have enough interest to sit things through with your sales team and have a high chance of coming out with a sale. Of course, there are cases when a sales team would still like a good deal of involvement in influencing the outcome. However, that doesn’t mean that even those efforts can’t be boosted by a qualification process.

One good type of such a process is through converting your insurance leads into set appointments. Here are two ways that an appointment can tie down a potential client’s attention strictly on you:

1. There’s a time and place – Decision makers are often busy and no matter what communication tool you use for marketing, they can’t spend so much time on the other end of it. Setting the time and place to learn more gives them an obligation to put you in their schedule.
2. The prospect of more information – As with number one, there’s only so much you can give away on a phone. Telling them what matters up front though will get them more interested in learning the finer details of your offer.

On the chances that you’re already struggling as it is just getting the information for leads alone, that’s not a problem either. There’s more than one lead generation company out there that you can outsource and comes with the additional service of setting appointments from those leads.

Or, you get the services of an accounting firm to audit your financial statements. These are just some instances where outside support is needed owing to the fact that you do not have a monopoly of assets. (more…)

Also, it is the fastest way to land in front of sales-ready prospects who are just waiting for you to contact them. If done properly, insurance telemarketing produces maximum results at a quicker pace. (more…)
