Hi Everyone, today we're discussing something that we've seen come up over and over for business owners and insurance agents. It's the reluctance to ask for help. We understand; sometimes pride and ego get in the way. Sometimes we don't know what help to ask for. Sometimes we don't know who to ask. And sometimes there are other psychological reasons that prevent from seeking assistance.

Today's show is here for you to understand that sometimes good outside counsel can be one of your greatest ways to grow your business. Today we'll help you understand what's stopped you from seeking the right counsel, when and why you should seek help, and who you should seek help from.

The insurance agents and other business owners who are performing at their best most definitely seek good counsel.

This is an episode you're not going to want to miss! It could change your business.

Hi Everyone, we have a great show for you this week. So often we've heard people say "I wish I could do that" or "I should have done that". This brings up the question of why there are some people who go out and achieve extraordinary things in their insurance agency and there are some who are left with "woulda, shoulda, coulda". It seems like, no matter how far along someone is in their career, there's still some things that get in our way and keep us from going after our life changing goals.

Today we're exploring the concept of why there are some people who are high achievers and there are some that have held themselves back from getting everything they want. What's the difference? We're sharing with you 12 possible reasons that you're not pursuing your big idea. Our goal for you today is that you will find a way to break through some of those barriers that are preventing you from vigorously creating something awesome.

Hi everyone, this week we’re sharing a couple of stories of how language and communication can grow a business or can tear a business down and cause chaos. How are YOU using language?

We’re discussing a practice known as Generative Language, which simply means the practice of intentional speaking and listening. We normally communicate in a reactionary, dismissive, or unproductive way with ourselves and others. This week, you’ll learn how we construct our world through the use of language. You’ll learn how problems are created and solved through language. And you’ll learn how using requests, promises, and agreements along with responsibility and commitment will transform your agency.

We aren’t always conscious of our communication style and the language we use. But if you’ll make a few simple changes in way you use language and communication, you’ll see that it can have a dramatic impact on the performance of your insurance agency.

Hi Everyone, very useful and enjoyable show for you this week. Time and time again, we have seen insurance agents try to convert the non-believers, those people that never have any intention of buying from you. Think about how much time and effort you’ve spent trying to convert the unconvertible. It’s frustrating and pointless.

Give away: Play this episode to learn how to get a free signed copy of our #1 Bestseller “Your Practice by Design”**…A Step by Step Guide to being a High Performance Insurance Broker”.

Sometimes we believe in our product or service so much that we forget that not everybody is going to buy in, even when it’s in their best interest. You might know in your heart that you can offer them a valuable insurance policy. But the customer doesn’t always see our value. We spend too much of our time explaining ourselves and trying to get others to see our value. Instead, we need to spend our time and effort finding more people who already believe what WE believe.

This week, we’re offering you a much better way to accelerate your sales and find lasting, loyal customers. You no longer need to try to get the whole world to see things your way. In the world of insurance and financial services, the better you become at finding true believers, the faster you will grow your agency. Enjoy!

By the way, did you know that The Entrepreneur Circle has helped hundreds of insurance agents solve their biggest challenges and grow their businesses by more than 35% per year? Would you like to know how we do that? Click here to learn more.

Hi Everyone, important and enjoyable show for you this week. Despite everything you’ve ever been taught in any kind of insurance sales training, goal setting, for the most part, is an absolute trap.

We’re going to share the story of 2 businesses (one’s an insurance agency) that believed the hype of the “big hairy audacious goals” and one has never recovered. You’ll hear how we transformed The Entrepreneur Circle once we got away from goal setting and engaged in the more important behaviors you’ll hear about in this episode.

You’ll hear about why setting big lofty goals is harmful to you and your insurance agency and what you should be doing instead.

We promise, this episode of Grow Your Insurance Agency will be a major piece in helping your agency explode!

By the way, did you know that The Entrepreneur Circle’s coaching programs help insurance agents solve their biggest problems and grow their businesses by 35% per year?

We’d love to offer you our complimentary Agency Blueprint Assessment and 1 hour personal coaching session. We work virtually too! http://mentalcompass.com/take-the-agency-blueprint-assessment-2/

Thanks for listening!

What our Members are saying:

“Before I invest in a product or service, I think about my average commission. If it will help me get one new client, it will have paid for itself. Between, helping create more efficient ways of doing things, and helping me streamline my sales approach, E Circle has paid for itself many times over.”

Hi Everyone, sometimes when we're working on improving our performance, we have a tendency to judge methods, ideas, and strategies as good, bad, right, or wrong. A far better approach is to simply ask yourself if what you're doing is working. That's what we're discussing today. Enjoy!
