The road to survival as an Insurance Agent

July 21, 2009

So I Haven’t posted for awhile.  To tell you the truth, health leads and talking about them have become really boring to me.  I did this blog as a challenge from a friend to see if I had had the skills to beat out the insurance leads companies when marketing to other agents.
I actually did for the term “health insurance leads” and ranked # 1 in google for that term.  Here is the screen shot.+ (click to enlarge)

That lasted for approximately 6 hours.  When I checked the backlinks for the actual lead companies, they had increased overnight and pushed me out of the way.  That leads me to the point of saying, If you think that you can generate a crapload of leads quickly using SEO, unless you know what you are doing or have deep pockets, chances are slim to none that it will happen for you.
The other method of generating internet leads is social networking.  Facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.  You actually stand a much better chance of generating some leads if you do it right.  Problem is, in every single instance that I have seen agents trying to use social networking, they have been doing it absolutely WRONG.
Anyways, check out this slideshow, maybe it will give you a better idea about how to use social media…

    The medical network and panel of
    doctors referred to buy the insurance company should be a well established and
    within your reach. They panel of doctors referred by them should not frequently
    change as you could built up a good rapport with the doctors as well.

    i agree with you social media is not just a platform to market your services and products you have to do much more things on it. Communicate with others not only on the topics related to your service but general topics & current topics this would help in building relations. Discuss things on social network, asks questions and answer others question. If your account is related to your services it doesn’t mean it should be boring filled with your promotional messages and ads but do something innovative also on your page or account to attract users and then advertise.
    Go and grab the advantages of social media.
