Here are the highlights of this episode:
He's currently in the life insurance industry and therefore works with those having a family or people going online shopping looking for life insurance. He knows that some or probably most folks encountered reps that are doing 'pushy sales' tactics, but his team provides simplified issue life insurance or term life insurance. It gets really personal in getting life insurance because they require full medical and financial history. Therefore, they want to get qualified to have the best applicable insurance since they represent 60 different companies. He reminds his staff to apply ABN (Always Be Nice); he believes in demonstrating knowledge, professionalism and trust. He tells us the difference working with 'captive agent' and 'independent agent' in the insurance industry.
Brian’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): Brian tells us the importance of selling to people online. He answers frequently asked questions on his site. He urges people to start gathering reviews, especially those found on third-party websites. Reach out and ask only the happy customers to provide a review; this is what they call the reciprocity theory.
“I'd like to sell to people before they even talk to me, before they even do anything" – Brian J. Greenberg
