Are your sales as unpredictable as the weather?

Many insurance agencies are dealing with more unpredictable sales then Northwest Ohio's weather.

Here in Northwest Ohio it rains on the days it's not supposed to rain and there's clear skies on the days it's supposed to rain. We never really know what our weather will look like from one week to the next. But one thing is for certain. We know it will rain eventually.

This is not the approach to take with your business.

Many insurance agencies are not sure what this quarter or next quarter will be. One month they have a great sales volume the next is abysmal.

The weatherman may keep his job if he's wrong, but if your revenue is unpredictable, then you may be out of a job sooner then you think.

We may not know when, but we do know it will, and that those April Showers brings May Flowers.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the damage technology is doing or may do to the independent insurance agent. How technology is changing the job of an agent and has the potential to put agents out of business. I have always looked at technology as a way to strengthen what the independent agent is doing.

One magnificent use for technology is to generate leads.

Buyers who traditionally would find a local agent, are going online and searching for an agent who can best handle their needs and not necessarily someone who is local.

In this article, we are going to discuss the best way to generate insurance leads online for your agency.
