Do you know how many leads you can comfortably and profitably work in one day? Do you have someone else helping you work leads? What demographics do you want to reach?

Good lead generation companies help you pick the right kinds of of leads to suit your requirements, experience and budget. While it might feel like a good thing to do to order hundreds of cheap leads at a time, this is a bad way to get ahead. Order the quality leads. Work them like they are gold. They are your best bet when it comes to conversions. Remember that buying expensive, verified and targeted leads does not mean instant success. You must work them carefully, thoughtfully and diligently.

If you want to ensure your insurance business grows, keeps converting customers, retaining existing customers and is a forward thinking force with up-to-the-minute news and new offerings, it takes your hard effort and time. Leads you buy open the door to your future. You either work them the right way or not. Be consistent in everything you do, but even more so when you work those valuable leads.

It does not matter where your leads come from, on or offline, email campaigns or direct mail campaigns, all leads need to be worked consistently. All leads, no matter what their origin hold the key to your agency’s financial success when the convert to valued customers. Just remember that when you call leads, each one is likely to be at a different stage of interest. Know what that stage is and adjust your marketing skills to work in partnership with each lead. Being consultative may be your best approach ever. It sends the message that you are genuinely interested in an individual’s health, wellbeing and safety.
