So, you’ve finally made the jump and are spending your hard-earned money buying annuity insurance leads. You’ve made the right decision. If you want a large level of success sell annuities, you need to have a large level of annuity sales leads. But, what do you do with them once you get them?
Always keep in mind that there is but one end goal with these leads: to get an appointment directly in front of the client. You already know that you’ve got the skills and expertise to close on 20% of the appointments you have, so all you need to know now is how to get to that appointment.
Well, when deciding on the right approach to working your annuity lead system, you need to understand what type of lead you’re working with. Are you starting with nothing more than a large list of free annuity leads? Are you working with purchased preset appointments? Are you working with both? You should be.
As with most aspects of life, diversification is the key. You should be buying many different kinds of annuity sales leads. And, you should have the methods to use those leads already in place. Basically, you are going to have three different kinds of annuity lead: e-mail leads, direct mail leads, and preset appointments. You should be using them all.
E-mail annuity lead generation is relatively cheap, and especially for the money, highly effective. The best approach for this is to buy large lists of older customers’ e-mail addresses. Create a monthly newsletter template that is easy to work with. Each month, add more names to the list, including all of your current clients. It is not only a cheap marketing technique, but also a very easy one.
The mailers are pricier, but also bring a higher level of response. The first step is going to be to talk to your post office about setting up a business reply card. You will need to get a business reply permit, but again, this is worth all the trouble and time. Once it’s set up, it’s good to go, and you’ll not need to worry about it again. The best approach for these mailers is to have them professionally written. As much as you know about selling annuities, there are professionals that know a lot more about writing sales letters. With the letter and the reply card in place, it’s just a matter of plugging in the data each month from your new annuity sales leads and sending them out.
And finally, with the profits you are now seeing from the first two sets of annuity sales leads, you can move the final step: the preset appointment annuity insurance lead. There is no way around the fact that these are expensive. And, you’ll never be able to get a high volume of these consistently (which is where the other two sets of leads come in), but there is no lead out there as effective as these, as the main goal is already accomplished!
If you are diversifying and buying the right leads, working them will become second nature. In no time at all, your production will skyrocket, and you’ll never look back.
