Insurance Producer Daily Success Guide: Maximize Your Productivity!

🎙️ Ridiculously Amazing Insurance Agent Podcast: Insurance Producer Daily Success Guide - Maximize Your Productivity!

Are you an independent insurance agent looking to boost your productivity and efficiency? Our latest podcast episode is here to help you create the ideal daily activity schedule for a high-producing insurance sales agent. 🌟

How an Insurance Producer’s Daily Activity Schedule Solves Your Problems

There is one thing that I consistently see top insurance producers practice, and it’s an insurance producer’s daily activity schedule. You may be asking, what is that? Instead of having the day run by the insurance producer, they take time each week and each day to intentionally and meticulously plan out their day so they are in control.

What Is Included in an Insurance Producer Daily Activity Schedule

The producer's daily activity schedule is something that should be easy to complete but provide you a great deal of value. When you first start getting in the rhythm of creating it, it may take a bit more time, but give it 30 days. Over time you will feel very strange if you don’t have one - almost like a fish out of water.

Consistency is key when creating your daily plan. Here are the essential elements to include:

📊 Big 3: What are the top 3 things you need to do today

📅 Daily Schedule: Set up your time blocks for what you need to do

Prospecting

Quoting

Meetings

Follow-ups

Education

🎯 Goal Check-In:

Where are you at with your personal and professional goals Once you’re up and running and consistently doing this, you should be able to complete your daily plan in about 10 minutes.

Why Planning Daily Works

We see many producers come in, sit down, and dive into their emails. Now, yes of course you have to check your email and respond. However, is that the most important thing to start your day?

What if you started your day reviewing your pipeline, pulling the 10 calls you need to make, or calling for follow-ups so the person has the whole day to respond? Email can be a bit of a trap. Remember, this email creates another email. By selecting the items that need your attention most, you start the day productive.

Often, we're like Koi fish; our activities expand to fill the time available. Think about vacation—time flies when you're sitting on the beach. By being intentional with your time, you'll achieve far greater things.

My favorite part of the insurance producer's daily activity schedule is the goal check-in. Many years ago, I learned the power of manually writing down where you are with your personal and professional goals. It's a look-in-the-mirror moment, helping you decide what to focus on today and make decisions that align with your goals. Waiting for a report to see your progress is not the best strategy.

To hit your target, you need to own your goal. Unfortunately, many producers don't know their monthly sales goal. If you don’t know your sales goal, hope is your strategy.

Conclusion

While committing to a daily plan may seem like a waste of time or too restrictive, I ask: what do you have to lose? If top producers all do this, what is the harm?

Cross selling is top on many agency owner's minds. There is a literal gold mine in your current book but no one seems to be very hungry to tackle cross selling on your team. Why could this be? Growth is fun right?

For many team members they are unsure when, how and if they have time to get involved in cross selling. Here is the reality giving great service is educating clients on all the ways you can help them - like cross selling insurance at renewal! In this podcast we help give you a plan on how to use the renewal as a time to unlock precious cross sales that help boost retention and grow your agency!

Insurance agents should cross sell to their clients, and renewal reviews are recommended every year. During these reviews, agents should ask questions to determine what policies they need, such as a homeowners or tenant policy. Also, agents should look for opportunities to upsell or combine coverages. Training staff on how to conduct reviews is important, as it will help them be more prepared when customers need them during a claim. Agency Performance Partners has resources available to help agencies with retention, cross selling, and upselling.

If you need a blue print for cross selling this is for you!

Who isn't! When you can boost retention every single new policy you sell is worth more. In addition, if you have happy customers who are staying with your agency you generally also have happy team members! Retaining customers can be a challenge but its a hill worth climbing! The best way we have found to increase insurance client retention is to make proactive annual renewal reviews. It may seem impossible - calling every client annually for a review? However, it's not! It's usually a challenge to get everything started but once there is a rhythm it becomes easier.

Remember most clients leave us for the following reasons:

Indifference: They don’t feel strongly about the service they are getting so why not shop?
Price: We do not know the price trigger that can cause client deflection - every client is different
Life/Business Change: If we don’t stay in contact with clients when they do have a chance they may not remember to call us and go elsewhere
Coverage Gaps: If a client does start shopping another agent will surely bring up coverage gaps.

This makes sure your policies are tight and right. We see many agencies get into the sell a policy loose a policy mentality. Instead by focusing in ways to retain more insurance customers you can move from new business or service to the true goal: Agency Growth!

Retaining customers is very challenging. There is no shortage of competition and clients can be price sensitive. However, top insurance agencies are hitting 94% retention rates by overcoming insurance retention rate challenges. Retaining insurance clients can become simple when you identify as a growth insurance agency. Not an agency just focused on service or sales but instead the idea of true insurance agency growth. Retention is key for a sustainable insurance agency, and there are many challenges in retaining clients. Agencies need to have a sales process that introduces the agency, finds out what's important to the client, and sells the value of the agency. Cross-selling, account rounding, and referrals are also important components and every agency needs a strategy to experience growth from the agency's book of business.

Renewal reviews are essential and should be done annually to build trust with clients, get contact information, protect the agency, and increase cross-selling and referrals. Fears such as staff leaving and customers shopping can be addressed by providing scripts and training. Renewal calls should be seen as an opportunity to show value and build trust.

Are you considering selling your insurance agency to family? Its a great family legacy to pass on a family business. While there is great pride and upside it is important both parties go into the business arrange with an open mind and heart. Insurance agencies are meant to enhance the family dynamic but with out the right expectations they can tear a family to pieces.

There are many second, third and fourth generation insurance agencies. In fact many of them have leadership teams comprised of all family. Families often have similar values and work ethic, however they also know how to push each other's buttons. In addition, its common that families know our strengths well and weaknesses even better. As you sell to family you need to identify roles, metrics and a very clear vision and plan for success. After all a lot is riding on this business.

Family run agencies that fail to plan for a successful sale of the agency often run into roadblocks and challenges that could be easily overcome with the right plan and expectations. Selling your insurance agency to family should be planned, coached and mapped out several years in advance of the transition.

Family can be complicated and business is hard! For many family run agencies we struggle to plan and hold each other accountable (remember your mom asking you to clean your room?). When working with family you need to treat each other as business partners at the office and family at home. If you were only business partners (and not family) would you allow yourselves to operate with out a plan? Probably not family should hold each other to higher standards and run efficiently and effectively with a road map that is clear and kind to everyone.

One of the biggest insurance agency family business planning processes that must happen is the plan to perpetuate. The next generation is looking for clarity on how the transition will happen and the current family leadership is questioning if the next generation can handle it. Also, the current leadership may love what they do and are unsure about their next steps. This leads the currently leadership to stay in their roles and keep things status quo.

Having insurance agency family business planning meetings are critical for success. You may need to have some difficult conversations, difficult conversations lead to clarity and break throughs. Without them passive aggressive behavior can poke through.

Sibling relationships can be challenging. You love each other but there is always a little frustration under the surface. Many siblings start working together in their family business - but not all of them would chose each other as business partners. When working with your siblings its important to know you fully know each other's strengths and weaknesses. You need to focus on celebrating each other strengths and filling in (not challenging) each other's weaknesses.

All too often siblings have a each other - and then the rest of the family. If you weren't siblings your Aunt probably would not care quite as much about the family business. In order to survive and thrive being siblings and business partners you need to do the following:

1) Ensure you recognize 2 relationships business partners and family

2) Stick to meetings

3) Have clear job descriptions

4) Keep work out of family events and keep family out of the office

5) Champion each other

Running a family business is not easy but it is rewarding. Making it work as business partners is something that will require work and dedication. You have to both commit to a family first mentality.

Siblings working together in an insurance agency can be challenging, but also has many benefits. It is important to foster cooperative working environments and use each other's strengths wisely. Boundaries need to be established between personal and professional lives, and communication needs to be open and honest. Job descriptions should be set up from the beginning and wins should be celebrated. Nepotism should be avoided, and sibling rivalry should not be tolerated. Family relationships should be kept separate from business relationships, and respect should be shown in order to have a successful family-owned business.

Running a business with your siblings can leave a great family legacy. It can also destroy families. Structuring how to handle challenges before they arise is critical to being sibling business partners. Use your strengths and stay away from needling in on weaknesses. You are better together than apart!

What is it like working for insurance agency spouse business partners? I can tell you from working with many spouse run and managed insurance agencies there are some excellent positives and some challenges. The best life and business partners continuously seek improvement. If you are working with your spouse or working in an agency that is run by a spouse team this video is for you.

We will review the following in this video:

The importance of communication & boundaries
Identifying each other's roles based on skills
Agency culture and how working with family can impact the team
Continuous professional development
How to handle conflict
Remembering to celebrate

The best spouse business partners have clear boundaries and work on their communication. In fact many of them go as far as to create very specific job descriptions to keep roles clear and make sure the team understands who to go to. For many husband and wife teams opposites attract. This means you can balance out everyone's strengths and weaknesses.

When you work with your spouse make sure that any disagreements are handled professionally. This is both for marital and or family disagreements as well as insurance agency fights. You have to be certain that you don't vent to the team and give them mixed messages. Also, make sure that you recognize and compliment your spouse just like you would other team members in your insurance agency.

For some working with family is a a great experience. For others, its a battle every day. In every business relationship there are always struggles, fights and disagreements. When you add in family there is another layer of expectations and feuds. So how can you make a family run insurance agency work?

It takes a plan and strategy as well as discipline and intention. Family owned insurance agencies are often legacy businesses, with the family name on the door and a promise of excellence. Succession planning and leadership transition must be carefully planned for, and roles and responsibilities need to be clearly defined. It is also important to balance the family dynamics with professional responsibility and keep drama at home. Technology must be embraced, but not overused, and compliance and finances must be managed to ensure the agency's success. External expertise should be sought when needed, and clear guidelines should be established to ensure everyone understands where the money is going.

Bottom line if you work with family you have family run insurance agency challenges. And we can help you tackle them!

In order to establish a clear sales culture you needs to start building a sales strategy. Every agency should embrace the following opportunities for sales goals:

Setting sales goals and expectations (clarity is kind)
Routine and regular coaching and training (even the best train)
Positive team culture (no backstabbing)
Focus on the customer experience (clients for life!)
Use data (facts not feelings)

Just starting with clear goals is critical for the team and agency success. I great sales culture embraces every member of the agency team to get excited about growth. No one in the agency should be scare or timid of sales. We need to attract new clients so we can stay happy and healthy in our agency's growth.

When running an insurance sales team culture is everything. It will allow you to find the top talent and keep them producing at your agency.

Growing any insurance agency can be difficult, but growing an agriculture insurance agency can be a life's passion. At least, that is how Steve & Kelly Mora co-owners of Heritage Insurance Agency see it. You will need to listen and watch this podcast to hear a high school love story, families deeply rooted in the California agriculture industry and the agency, industry and family rallied around them during a severe and life threatening illness. Oh, and their office is only a mere miles away from the Paradise, CA fire area so all of their clients face fire zone issues.

The one thing we can all admire about Steve, Kelly and the entire Heritage team is their commitment to culture. They care deeply about all the agency stakeholders and their care shows. From remodeling the offices, to defending and living by the agency's core values to Rhett the office dog this agency is a great place to work. In fact they have been named one of the Best Places to Work in the Insurance Industry. You will love Heritage Insurance Agency as much as we do in working with them to continue the pursuit of growth and ultimately protecting farms and agriculture related business. You may see Steve and Kelly at any variety of agriculture tradeshows, 4H fairs or insurance events. Don't miss this podcast where they share their story of family, farms and fun.

It can be a difficult target. Many insurance producers spend more time selling you on their pipeline than actually selling insurance. With big investments on the line managing insurance producers helps your agency manage growth.

All too often in an insurance agency a producer is hired (and good ones are hard to find!). We don't always provide the best training or tools because everyone is working their tails off to help finance the new producer. However either way insurance producers do need to be managed and lead. With out coaching many sales agents find insurance sales a struggle.

We will help walk you through the 5 APP Strategies to help manage your insurance sales team:

1) Set Clear Goals and Expectations

2) Provide Regular Coaching & Training Opportunities

3) Foster a Positive Team Culture

4) Use Technology to Capture Data

5) Focus on the Customer Experience

Don't fall into the trap of hiring a producer and not tending to them. Producers can add amazing value and let's face it they don't always love to be managed. However, like any good coach you need set it up for what is best not easiest or most liked.

Are you aware of the sales training challenges in insurance? It seems like many agencies are struggling to train their team in how to convert more insurance quotes into sales.

Training is a continuous battle and requires a tailored approach. There needs to be a plan with milestones and clear expectations for both the trainer and trainee. Training should involve role-playing, getting people on the phone quickly, and using a team of professionals to support them. It is important to invest in training as it will pay off in the long run. Resources are available from EPP such as their online school and sales training courses.

We will give you a role play how to fire an insurance client! In speaking with many insurance agencies across the country they always have one question. What do I say when firing an insurance client? We know the first time you do anything its the FFT (the freaking first time). First times are always clumsy, you feel funny and its generally awkward. But guess what the 10th time you do something new it feels a ton better. Give your self some grace in your first client break up!

In this blog banter you get Stephen and Kelly role playing out how to fire a client. We review what to say (and Stephen gives Kelly a hard time!) and how to let the person down easily and professionally. You can part ways with a client terrorist professionally.

Here is the outline of the conversation:
1) Greet the client and introduce yourself and your role in the event they are not clear
2) Alert them you have reviewed their account
3) Let the client know that based on the review it looks like there may be some mutual challenges
4) Alert them that at renewal you are recommending that the client finds another agency
5) Offer to send them a copy of their policy to making moving simple
6) Let them know they can leave earlier
7)If they are not getting the message you will need to be direct and clear
8) End the call by documenting the file

Have you ever thought about when to fire an insurance client? I bet you have! In insurance agencies sometimes we acquire books with undesired clients or over time we find that clients just may not be a good fit for the agency. In either scenario the challenge is the client isn't happy, generally they are unprofitable for your agency and your team gets burned out. However, it's a really difficult conversation to let a client go. So all too often agencies hold on to the wrong clients out of fear of repercussions.

When we work with agencies it becomes clear that these clients are more like client terrorists. We break down in this podcast the true math behind holding on to these clients. As a business owner it's important that you clearly identify the true cost of holding on to these types of clients.

In this podcast we break down the real math on holding on to these types of clients. Here are some considerations:

Payment Issues: If you spend 3+ hours on a clients payment issues every year how much does that cost?
High Claims: Are you jeopardizing contingency bonuses and carrier relations?
Remarketing demands: the time it takes to remarket is high. When clients demand it you run into time crunches.
Nasty attitude: if a client terrorist runs off good team members how much is hiring and training costing your agency?
Unethical: there can be no room for client lying. The stakes are too high!
Below Agency Standards: these clients don't quite fit they believe that they need minimal insurance and your agency may be catering to them

We recommend vetting your problem clients based on these objectives. Generally if a client is unethical - they gotta go! However, for the other objectives we recommend looking at clients that hit 2 -3 of these objective.

The bottom line is the cost to keeping a bad client far out weights the commission and as an agency leader it's your responsibility to protect your team for getting bogged down from these client terrorists!

Are you in a coastal insurance hard market or fire zone hard market? You are a hard market hero!!! Your market is not like any other. Carrier cancellations, insolvencies and market chaos. Its nice living at the beach but the insurance is very challenging.

At APP we want to give you the best tips and strategies for handling a coastal insurance hard market. In some of these areas having an policy with an admitted carrier that is willing to renew the policy is a win! Your in a different market than everyone.

One other item we review in this podcast is how to stop a cancellation. In many agencies when someone calls into cancel we say no problem. What we should do is fight for that policy! Even if they have bound insurance elsewhere we can still try! If we loose a policy to a company we have we can take that over. We think that insurance agencies are often way to polite when someone is looking to leave. We should be fighting to keep this client and win them back to our team. After all we are the best right?

Make sure you are giving your team the best tools to manage a hard market. All indications show we are going to be here until 2025. To make sure your team is prepared education is essential!

This is all included in the bonus sections of our Hard Market Hero Sessions. Give your team the tools they need to be hard market heroes.

Opinions can differ! Is it a certain percentage increase, dollar rate increase or by who is the loudest? The reality is in a hard insurance market we need clarity on when and who should be re-shopped. In hard insurance market renewals will take a lot longer. This means we need to be strategic with our time management. Remarkets will take 60+ minutes.

This coupled with more inbound questions and an increase in re-shopping leaves account managers with no time. We end up spending more time remarketing and we miss the ability to get proactive and reach out to build relationships with the right clients. Too many insurance agencies are backlogged with remarkets and miss client expectations. Instead you need an insurance hard market remarketing strategy.

Here are the downsides to remarketing:

Labor intensive
Miss the opportunity to review and apply discounts
Premium and revenue reductions
Inspections

Many times account managers are unclear on the remarketing strategy so they jump to a remarket to calm down the customer and get off of an uncomfortable call. Remarketing may seem like the best solution but often it can cause other issues. For many insurance agencies each team member decides who to remarket. What this means is it can be an inconsistent experience. Other agencies select a certain percentage rate increase to trigger a remarket or review. The challenge is we take out the client's expectations - they may love their current carrier. We review how your agency can select a better process and program by being intentional in your client experience.

Instead we want to encourage your team to professionally explain why insurance rates are on the rise. When your clients know why remarketing decreases. In addition, if you can educate your client about the potential risks of shopping their insurance (with or without you) they understand it's not always the best choice.

High Volume of Work: staff shortage, inefficient processes, too many payments

Abolish Insurance Agency Backlog is a podcast by APP discussing how to reduce the amount of overdue tasks in an insurance agency. This can be caused by high workload, inefficient processes, technical issues, external factors, and pas taking too long. The side effects are delays, customer dissatisfaction, increased workload, higher operational costs, and compliance issues. To reduce this backlog, agencies should prioritize their workload, improve communication, outsource services, increase staffing, train staff, highlight benefits, and lead by example.

Does insurance agency task management drive you nuts? You log into your insurance agency management system and you see all red. Then your mood turns red and you wonder what is going on. You poll your team and ask them what is happening. Everyone has the same response - it's just busy. You then dive deeper into the insurance agency task management.

What you generally find is some of the following scenarios:

tasks that are done just not closed
work on clients that should be delegated
bending over backward for the wrong clients
lack of documentation

Now you go from mad to volcanic! But if you jump to the wrong conclusion than you run into bush back from your team. Instead you need to stop and understand their perspective. The team needs to understand why you focusing on zero backlog will benefit them. You will need also provide your team training on how they can better manage their desk to get to a zero backlog environment. The agency team leaders and management must lead by example and not be backlogged themselves or follow the process when backlog exists of raise our hand. Last but not least celebrate success when you get to zero backlog!

With a the market going crazy you may be wondering how to review accounts in a hard insurance market? For some insurance agencies they followed one of the following insurance renewal strategies:

Wait & See: You wait until the client is frustrated and they call you.
Shop Till You Drop: At a certain rate increase trigger you contact the client and you either have already remarketed the account or plan to do a review and then identify if a remarket is necessary
Renewal Review: Contacting clients proactively to review their insurance policies (hint this is our recommendation!)

No matter which strategy your insurance agency is running for reviewing accounts in a hard insurance market your team will need to master the art of a renewal review. Similar to an ER nurse you must triage the clients. You won't have time to personally review every single account. At your insurance agency you will want to tier accounts and create a strategy for who gets your proactive attention.

Renewal reviews = trust. In a 2-5 year predicted hard market now is the year you must build trust with your clients. In addition, we know this is the long game it is important that you and your team work to save their remarketing power for the years to come. In year one we want to focus on updating and cleaning up the account. In the next years we can identify if and when a remarket is the best thing for the client.

We always want to be focused on what is BEST not cheapest for the insured.

We’re Agency Performance Partners; APP is your insurance agency’s best friend when it comes to training, strategies, brutal truth & tough love that'll grow your agency with hugs & high fives along the way….just like a BFF.

Are you stumped on having the rate conversation in a hard insurance market? How do you break the news to a client that their insurance rates are on the rise? Or that they are being non-renewed and the alternatives are MUCH higher.

At APP (the insurance industries best friend) we have the best rate increase script. Watch as APP recaps this week's Hard Market Hero series all about How to Have the Rate Increase Conversation.

We will recap:

📞Question or Request?

📞Review vs. Remarket

📞Work to get something from the interaction

📞Tone of voice

📞Monthly figures

📞Percentage increase

📞The importance of silence

We know that communicating insurance rate increases is hard in this hard market. When everything is going up it can feel really challenging to deliver the news that insurance is no different. For most insurance agency team members we much more enjoy providing good news. However, we have to remind ourselves that the news is best delivered by us (even if its a challenge!) When you practice delivering the information it does get easier. When you practice and have a script you feel empowered to take on the challenge. Sometimes just framing the rate in the right context helps everyone feel more comfortable with moving forward with the insurance renewal with your agency.

This episode marks the 4th of our exciting six-part Hard Market Hero series designed specifically for your agency's success! And guess what? There's more to come! Watch this FREE recap of this week's LIVE Hard Market Hero Sessions. But wait, there's a bonus! Get a sneak peek into our upcoming 5th Renewal Reviews. 🙌

Do you have a clear script for explaining rate increases? With a hard insurance market explaining why insurance rates have increased is becoming a daily process. All too many insurance agents make rate the boss of them and get anxious, nervous and scared when discussing insurance rates with clients. We like to say - Starbucks doesn't apologize for an $8 coffee but when it comes to insurance we get shy about talking about protecting what people work hard for.

We will be reviewing how to have the conversation about insurance rate increases. There are two important factors that are important other than the scripted words we use. First, your tone of voice - you need to be calm, slow and soothing. If you use customer service voice when explaining rate it can turn people off! Second, pretend you are on Jeopardy. Work to give two sentences and a question to your insured. This is a great way to engage them make sure we do not talk over your client's heads. Remember, when you confuse you loose your clients.

Learn about the following in this podcast:

Question or Request?
Review vs. Remarket
Work to get something from the interaction
Tone of voice
Monthly figures
Percentage increases
The importance of silence

When used correctly this insurance rate increase script will help you explain rate, avoid the remarket and help your client understand why you are the best insurance agent for them! Don't let rate be the boss of you!

Are you struggling with how to confidently talk about insurance rate increases? It seems like in this market rate increases are a daily occurrence. Clients are calling you and you are trying to call them. Its seems that all we do is deliver difficult news daily and the client response can be challenging.

At APP we work with agencies across the US and Canada. We see a big gap in confidence especially with how to confidently explain a big insurance rate increase. Many times the team is thinking with their own pocket or they just don't know exactly what to say. Either way getting an upset client call or making a call to deliver the news is generally something that the team doesn't always enjoy.

When you are doing something uncomfortable confidence is often low. However, we like to remind insurance agents that the news is WAY better coming from you than in the mail or email. When you deliver the news the client may have a reaction but then they move to a response mode where they are desperately looking to you for a plan!

In insurance we need to have confidence. As a licensed professional our clients need us to be their Hard Market Insurance Hero! Everything from our tone of voice, selection of words and emails can impact the client's experience. Do you want an accountant who is uncertain? No! We also do not want insurance agents who seem less than ready to tackle the client's biggest insurance challenges.

Put your shoulders up, head high and listen to this video all about how to build and have confidence in this market.

This is the 3rd of six Hard Market Hero sessions for your agency!

Would you like help in handling insurance rate increases? Who wouldn't! Confidence in delivering bad news impacts the outcome! When you have confidence you can reduce your fear and anxiety in this market. Another great confidence side effect is having boosted motivation, increased reliance and a strong sense of self. I think in this hard insurance market we all want a hard market hero - and heroes are confident!

Some people think that you have to be born with confidence but we think you can build it! To be confident in explaining insurance rate increases you have to get the reps in! Here are some ways we believe any insurance agent can help fuel their confidence:

Get out there- confidence is based on accomplishment
Establish benchmarks - and celebrate
Do the right thing - not the easy thing
Fail forward and learn - embrace learning
Think long term - in the moment things can be challenging
Prepare and be proactive - have a plan
Don’t overthink think - your having the conversation with the wrong person
Accept and be open to feedback - we don’t know everything
Take a risk - you may surprise yourself
Practice - you get stronger
Embrace change - its an adventure or ordeal
Don’t worry what others think - you matter

We like to remind every insurance agent that the current agent always has the upper hand. The current agent is the path of least resistance! Many clients may have a negative reaction to the insurance rate increases however, that reaction burns off and everyone wants a plan. Guess what you have the plan!

Is your insurance agency struggling with managing your time in a hard insurance market? Renewals are taking much longer! You and your insurance team need strategies on how to manage your time in insurance. When everything is taking longer you have to determine a new strategy! You want to focus on how to be efficient and effective. As rates increase you also don't want your client to experience delays in getting the service they need. It may feel impossible but it just takes a mindset shift!

There are a lot of clients that are time vampires in insurance agencies. They suck up all your time and the profit margin on these clients is impossibly low (and many time negative!) In your agency you have to identify a time vampire and get out the garlic to get them to move to your competition. While we all want to give equal service in a hard insurance market we have to triage our time and manage our resources. In order to do this you need to identify client tiers and priorities. We all must also work within our job duties and delegate to elevate our time.

Here is what the APP Team will discuss:

⏰ Renewals Will Take Longer

⏰ Tiering Clients

⏰ Taking MORE Time With The RIGHT Clients

⏰ Donating The WRONG Clients To Your Competition

⏰ Delegating & Working In Your Role

⏰ Payments & Portals

⏰ Spend Your Time Preparing Not Repairing

It’s ok because generally, these are people that are not in alignment with our new direction. We need to remember that neither party is wrong in this situation but we have come to a place where we have different goals.

In many of these situations, we are already past the time when we should have grown in different directions. These breakups can be scary but the sooner we deal with them the better it is for our team because now they are free from the negativity stunting their growth.

Manage these situations respectfully. These individuals likely helped to get the agency where it is today and we want to remain grateful for their contributions to our current state.

We never know when our paths will cross again or when our goals will realign and we never want to burn a bridge or worse make others that stay feel like their contributions won't be valued and become silent.

Communicate the vision clearly and consistently

Many of us believe our team understands our vision, goals, and expectations but if we asked each team member would we get a consistent response?

It’s also good to remember our goals change over time and having everyone on the same page about what we are working towards is important and needs to be communicated regularly.

Now is the time not only to share this vision but to communicate it in a way that your team becomes passionate, takes ownership, and gives enthusiastic effort to reach our destination.

📣Growth

📣Relationships

When you think about calling every customer once per year for an annual review you may think - holy shnikeys that's a lot of work. However, so is chasing your tail!

The trick is to think of renewal reviews as an opportunity - in reality, they are growth nuggets if we have the right mindset. If agencies can turn from looking at growth from new business to growth through the current book all the metrics can change.

By adopting a strong renewal review strategy your agency can experience:

Reduced Inbound Calls
Increased Retention
Reduced Remarketing
Increases in Coverage
Account Rounding
Cross-Selling
Reduced E&O Exposure
Updated Contact Information
More Referrals

There is no magic bullet or secret sauce to launching renewal review calls to boost your insurance customer retention. If there were, I would certainly own the market on it! This strategy is very, very traditional. It's not revolutionary. This is actually how insurance was always run.

The difference is that technology, automatic renewals, and more have made our lives easier (and the goal was to spend more time with customers). Still, in today's crazy world, we take care of the clients with problems and often forget the clients that are our most profitable.

Understand that anything new can be overwhelming, and work with it. Don't force-feed the renewal calls, and give them the time they deserve to educate your team and provide them the tools they need to succeed. Telling someone to do renewal reviews doesn't work. However, onboarding the team with new thinking can be successful over six months.

Here is the reality. How you launch renewal review calls with your team is just as important as making them. Like selling a new lead, you need to identify their core pain points and connect clearly how these calls can make a huge difference to their lives.

Before we outline how to launch renewal review calls, this is how not to launch renewal review calls:

Email the team the news (this is when you need a bulletproof vest)
Mandate reviews, walk away and check in a month later, and be shocked that they aren't made
Ask the team to try reviews (this seems temporary or optional)
Get in a meeting and make it seem wild and hard

In order to earn your team’s buy-in on renewal reviews, you have to show others you believe and support it. This, for a leader, means:

Being abreast of the metrics (knowing the average number of calls)
Appointing a Beta Tester (letting someone else work on the kinks)
Discussing with other agencies/listening to podcasts from people who have accomplished this
Knowing the game plan and writing out the process
Having regular weekly meetings to check in and understand what is working, and troubleshoot solutions
Being prepared to track renewal review calls
Having an incentive plan to celebrate doing something hard

Making the calls:

First let’s discuss voice. Use a customer service voice, NOT a mom/dad voice. Make it sound serious, not optional. We want to connect with 40-50% of our customers. We can only do that by being professional and serious.

We are representing the agency and ourselves, and with our insurance license, we need to be professional, serious, and friendly at the same time. Now is the time to get to know your clients, build relationships and rapport and show value.

If you connect with the customer: It is important to consider these six things while making the renewal calls:

Introduction- be human; introduce yourself and your agency.
Rapport- Find things you may have in common.
Review - their policy, what they have, may have changed or updated.
Recommendations - Make educated recommendations. You are, in all reality, a professional licensed insurance agent, right?
Confirmation of Next Steps-setting expectations with the client.
Gratitude - Thank them for their time and their business with your agency.

There are so many customer retention strategies that we can use to get to a final product or result. We need to execute and adjust these strategies by testing them for success. Something that works for one agency may not work for another. But it may not be the strategy itself but the PROCESS to the strategy.

At APP, we feel EVERY agency should be doing renewal review calls to maintain customers and increase retention. Besides, those customers pay your bills, don't they? At least they deserve to hear from you.

What is our problem?

Not following up with our clients after the sales.
Pretending everything is OK - they will just stay with us without the agency having to do anything.
Not keeping up with numbers and not realizing you may have a lot of DWP (Direct Written Premium) but have a leakage problem or, in other words, a retention problem.

Don’t Panic. If your team is like most teams across the country, they immediately panic when the rate is higher than they initially anticipated, or if they see a rate increase on renewal. It's okay. You are not alone, and you have already taken the first step in reading this blog.

When that panic sinks in, it is usually because they feel as if they are about to have to climb Kilimanjaro and go into reshop mode for the next hour or 3. I would say the first thing to do to lead your team through rate changes is to develop a strong plan.

Guess what? You are about to read about our suggestions for a plan over the next 5-10 minutes.

"In this market, we have to shop every one of our Renewals to keep our clients." This is a common phrase in agencies week after week, month after month, and year after year. You can plug in the word "hard" or "soft" before the word market; and the sentence changes very little.

No matter the market condition, agencies still feel this sense of urgency to "shop till they drop," for lack of better words. We are on a mission to change this mindset here at Agency Performance Partners.

If you have even halfway paid attention to our messaging over the years, you have probably heard us discussing a "proactive retention strategy." You have probably listened to the message that we see the word “busy" as a swear word. You have heard us talking about building rapport and adding value.

All of these things are crucial to ending the mindset mentioned above.

How to Handle Insurance Rate Increases To handle an insurance rate increase, we must first start by taking back control of the call. The best way is to have Insurance Rate Increase Scripts. Remember, when clients have rate frustrations, it’s not personal. In fact, they most likely don’t even really know you well enough to make it personal! Oftentimes, they have told themselves a story for a while about how unfair their insurance rate is. We need to start by taking control of the call. Instead of being fearful about rates, lean into that conversation. Remember, they are coming to you because you have the tools to help them.

Here are a few things everyone needs to remember:

Rates will increase naturally every year. We need to be prepared.
Rate increases come from the carrier as well as the client.
We need to take our time to review the account rather than get trapped in the rate game.
Your best strategy is to run into a rate increase, not away from it.

As many of us have learned by now insurance rates are continuing to increase. Whether it is due to the increased cost of raw materials, labor shortages, severity of losses, new technology, or mother nature, insurance rates are on the rise across the country.

One of the most common calls that we receive is “How do I help my team keep clients happy without remarketing every account”. We know that customers can be frustrated by increasing rates when they don’t have any claims, their vehicle is getting older, or in commercial lines when rates go up as the business grows. In our experience, frontline team members often lack confidence in discussing rate increases and lean specifically on remarketing strategies that are time-consuming and create a perpetual focus on price rather than value.

This causes a revolving door of rewrites year after year. Unfortunately, one remarket/rewrite for a client causes them the false belief it can be rewritten every 6 months-year. What if instead, we focused our training efforts on building the team members into confident agents that are ready to face the conversation head-on? Role-playing with scripts can seem a little uncomfortable at first, but once you get used to having these types of conversations, they become much easier.

Using Blogs, Email & Social Media to Educate Clients on Insurance Price Increases One strategy I think is great is educating your client as to what is causing insurance price increases. Many people think the rate increase is personal, and it’s only happening to them!

When your client is better educated, they become a better client for your agency. Let’s get the message out and about.

Remember, most people can handle the rate increase; they just want to understand why. When people call into your office and ask about the rate increase, remember it’s just a question, not a demand to remarket.

Insurance Price Increases and How to Communicate to Clients We are here at a hardening market. The highs are high (more revenue!) the lows are low (explaining the cause in a difficult economy of the rate increase). However, any market change is an opportunity.

The agencies who capitalize on this marketplace will see it as just an opportunity. Now, you may think I'm crazy (and I probably am), but I love a hardening market.

The agencies I have worked with that have been making renewal calls will get more questions - am I properly insured? And less - you people keep raising my rates. They are ready to take on the additional inbound quotes while managing the current book.

Bottom line - these clients will get referrals from their existing customers because they have been doing the right thing and have built relationships with their clients. Many insurance agents would have loved to start proactive renewal reviews three years ago.

However, since we do not have an insurance crystal ball, there is no time like the present! Now is their time to reap the benefits of their hard work.

It is about relationships, not rates!

What do you do when you know you have the best carrier but the rate is a little high? You look for discounts and different adjustments you can make to the police. You bundle it with your property policy; normally, most insurance agents have an umbrella policy because it is not that expensive.

We need to be recommending our clients do the same thing. We need to advise them of the best policies and protection for their needs, which does not always mean the cheapest!

Educate the client on why the policy increased. Is there an accident or violation that may have caused the increase? Was there a claim? Did we make a change like a new car or a youthful driver?
Review features on current policies and carriers. Discounts that they may qualify for on the current policy(ies).

Different Agency Manager Styles help to get to know each person and their personality.

What makes them tick, their learning style, what do they enjoy about their job, and what do they like the least? Do they have any hobbies?

Just like it is important to build a good rapport with a client, you must do the same with your team.

Ask questions and show genuine interest.

It should be more about them and less about you.

Regularly scheduled Coffee Chats or One on Ones are a great starting point.

Set aside 15-30 minutes 2 times a month to meet with each person.

Create an agenda that includes any items you would like to review, and then have them add items to the agenda they would like to discuss.

A Guide for Agency Managers to be a ridiculously amazing agency.

This starts with a strong leadership team.

A great team leader is one that can take a step back, look at problems from the outside, utilize the resources available to find a solution, and is an ambassador of the agency's culture.

As a manager just starting with the agency, you should take the time to talk to the leadership team and find out what sets the agency apart from the competition.

It could be that your agency donates to a local organization for every referral sent to them or that they love being involved in local events.

Pinpointing what sets the agency apart from the competition can help you visualize your journey as a leader.

What is the agency's mission statement, and what are its values?

Memorize and use these in daily interactions with the team and your clients.

Making Outbound Calls in Your Insurance Agency is an important aspect of agency growth.

But to do outbound calls, they have to be planned.

Talk to your team about strategies for outbound calling.

What time of day is best?

Adjust it to where it works best for each team member.

Block times according to availability.

Have someone take an hour in the morning while the other answers service calls and the other in the afternoon, and switch it the next day, so a different person is calling in the morning.

What is your insurance agency business plan? Do you have one? Of course you do, but do you know how to execute it?

Most agency owners have a plan, but many fail when it comes to execution. This entails having assigned tasks for your employees to complete to help retain and grow your business.

Imagine a front door and a back door. The goal is that the front door stays wide open for people to come in, but the back door stays shut. Closed tight.

Many agents focus on keeping the front door open and forget that the back door is open too. Sometimes they are losing more business than what is coming in, so your growth plan must include BOTH!

When I mention accountability, the air leaves the room, and the team turns ghost-white. 6 Common Reasons You Lack Accountability in Your Insurance Agency.

I'm here to tell you things will get harder, and then they will get easier. This is where you get to pick your hard.

You can choose - but choosing not to hold people accountable will stifle your growth, fun, and opportunity. Temporary hard is always better than long-term hard.

Ask yourself - are you a little too comfortable with your team not flawlessly executing?

Here are the common reasons insurance agencies overthink accountability:

❌ Everyone will leave

❌ Addressing poor performance is difficult

❌ Manage consequences

❌ Is poor performance really that bad if they do other things well

❌ Another employee doesn’t do it either

When it comes to any process, there have to be several components. This is no different in developing your perfect quote process. We discuss in this week's blog: insurance Quoting Process to gain customer loyalty.

The first component of the process is building rapport. Building rapport consists of taking the time to introduce yourself and explain why they should do business with you. This needs to be summed up in about a minute and a half of the conversation.

Building rapport consists of fact-finding in a conversational way, looking for common ground, looking for opportunities to build relationships, and building trust. Building rapport must feel like a genuine conversation between two "friends."

We want this process to be different from any other that they have been through to this point. You must assume that you are one of many quotes they have called to get for their insurance needs.

You must look for ways to set yourself apart from any other competition.

So much of the buyer's journey is before they even contact you then enemy of the Quoting process can rear its ugly head.

There are many stats out there to back this up. 70% of the buyer's journey, they say, is complete before a buyer even reaches out to your agency.

That's why it's so crucial that you have a solid insurance quote process.

That quote process is more than just providing a number to the buyer or prospect.

The insurance quote process must become the beginning or the start of the customer journey, or to use the insurance buzzwords, the customer experience.

A good agent listens to the customer and hears what they're saying. Be prepared to overcome the insurance objection!!

A noteworthy goal for any insurance professional is to always be working on ways to improve your sales skills.

As we build relationships with customers, we must learn about their buying styles and who is the decision-maker.

We should treat all quotes as an opportunity to educate and inform our clients on not only the coverage options available to them but also the discounts available.

It's important to remember that if they present an objection in insurance—they want to do business with you. They're just unsure that you have provided the right solution.

Mastering objections in insurance increases credibility and confidence since objections are bound to happen:

5 Steps to Close More Insurance Sales & overcome the Real Hurdle To Increasing Your Sales Closing Ratio. You may be thinking, "Just tell me what is the much bigger problem you speak of."

I will answer that question in this way; the real problem is that your prospect does not think it's worth making a change right now. In short, it's nice to know about your offering, but not necessary.

In other words, you have not sold the client why they should move to your agency. If your prospects aren't making the connections between what you sell and the Value they could get from it, it's because you're not showing them, you are not explaining it properly.

In other words, you are not "closing them." We have a simple 5 step process for an adequate insurance sales strategy in our APPX Commercial Course.

There are many insurance agencies that make these Common mistakes with insurance sales.

Since releasing the APPX Commercial Course, several producers and agency owners have asked me the same general question.

"How do I increase my closing ratio?"

There's so much debate on when an insurance agency is a service shop vs. a sales shop. How to train the sales team to prioritize for a sales process.

When we started working with many clients, we quickly discovered that there was no insurance sales cycle process. Agents get trained on how to quote, but there is not enough emphasis or focus on a defined sales process.

In reality, agencies need a written down, practiced sales process that everyone leans on. When we focus on quoting insurance, we often have a process that is easiest for us, but we leave out a key factor - the client!

Empowering your NON-Licensed Customer Service team to engage in cross-selling, referral, and review activities.

People never think they’re natural salespeople. But most extroverts are good salespeople, depending on how they look at things. You can sell someone something by telling them your experience with the item or service, educating them, and referring them. Not necessarily always having sales in mind.

Many licensed and unlicensed customer representatives shy away from sales. They don’t always see themselves as salespeople.

Are you one of them? Rather, do you want to be better? Hear us!

Our feelings and experiences are the primary reason we have challenges Cross-Selling Insurance Policies at Renewal. We are afraid of a NO, of upsetting the customer, and we often assume that the client is in a hurry.

Maybe a client has gotten upset over price, so we think now is not the time to ask for more.

More often than not, we decide how the client will respond by answering the question in our head, not by asking the client the question. That means - we are having the conversation with the wrong person! We need to engage the client to get cross-selling going.

In the APP Agency Retention Program we also talk about how you are often more worried about price or changes to their policy than the consumer. We want to help remove some of the fears of cross-selling and give you the confidence to “Just Ask”!

How to not suck at keeping clients? When I first got into insurance, there was a running theme. You were either a sales shop or a service shop. Let me tell you they both had opinions on each other!

You can have an Insurance Renewal Process that empowers your team to be proactive and provides a great experience for the client, but it's likely that your agency's insurance renewal process probably sucks.

The key is aligning your technology to track everything and leading your team to see that by being proactive the team can save time and stress for everyone.

We provide how to manage this process and institute strong renewal processes: https://www.agencyperformancepartners.com/blog/insurance-renewal-process

How to manage the insurance renewal process Our team will begin looking at clients coming up for renewal 120 days before renewal. This will allow the agent the time to review the account and get ready for renewal. Between 90 and 60 days before renewal, the agent will proactively arrange a meeting with the client (in-person, zoom, or phone).

The purpose of this meeting is to educate the client on marketing conditions, set the renewal strategy based on the client’s preferences and agent coverage recommendations, understand the client's business plan, and build the relationship before price is available.

When people set out to change the game, and we happen to know them very well, we always have to have a chat. This one is no exception. In this episode of the Ridiculously Amazing Insurance Agent Podcast, we spoke with Raghav Tanna, the founder of Tarmika.

You guys know we are all about time management, but this company is changing the game. They have created a commercial lines rating platform that brings the quoting process down from HOURS to MINUTES.

Inflation is everywhere. No one is immune, not even independent insurance agents. So, when customers call in mad because their rates went up, we have to be ready to have that conversation.

In this episode of the Ridiculously Amazing Insurance Agent Podcast, Kelly walks us through a step-by-step guide on exactly how to have that conversation. When you listen to this one, share it with your team because if you haven’t gotten a call about this yet, you will soon.

Let’s go over every time management tip from Week 3 (tip 9-12) of unleashing all of our best pointers for agents out there. If you’ve missed our previous ones, go check those out.

#9. Client Tiers

We are actually asking you to choose clients that are more valuable/important and place them at a higher priority (and give them the best service).

#10. Time Blocking

Everyone feels like they don’t have enough time and if that’s you, choose an amount of time to take down some tasks and then tell everyone to leave you alone in that time to do them.

#11. Self-Care

You have to put your mask on before you can ever really help anyone else.

#12. Using Management Systems

It feels silly to say, but just in case you weren’t aware, writing down notes and tasks on paper is aggressively trying to replace your management system with something less organized/useful.

In this mash-up, we cover:

Client Tiers
Time Blocking
Self-Care
Using Management Systems

Try out these time management tips and let us know what you think!

Let’s cover week TWO of our time management tips!

#1. The Word Busy

We hate this word. Busy does not equal productivity and it’s all about mindset. If you think you have no room for anything else, you will make that true.

#2. Notepads

You might not think you need to, but you do indeed need to break up with notepads.

#3. Payments

You think that 10 minutes is nothing, but if you have a percentage of your book coming into pay with cash, you are losing a lot of time.

#4. Remarketing

You have to get over your fear of talking about rates. Use annual reviews to remarket, but don’t jump back into that to avoid a conversation about rates.

In this video, we cover:

Word Busy
Notepads
Payment
Remarketing

You have to give these a shot before you cast them out completely. Check out our posts next week for even more time management tips.

Here are our first four time management tips: #1. Eat the Frog.

Let's wrap this week up and talk about how you can embrace role-playing in your insurance agency. Start by understanding the why. Why are you doing this? It's not to torture you but to refine you and your tools while in the trenches with customers.

Come into the exercise prepared. Know your process and your product. Don't wing it and make a joke out of it.

And don't judge it. If you have not given role-playing a real shot, you don't know. And no, it's not like the real thing, it's actually harder. You have to set your ego aside and get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

And you have to learn how to listen to feedback objectively.

You'll see your business transform when you embrace role-playing in your insurance agency.

In this video, we cover:

Understand the Why
Come Prepared
Don’t Judge
Listen Objectively To Feedback

Whether you work in this industry or you own your own insurance agency, this conversation has something for you.

Our financial situations are very personal to us, but one thing we can all probably agree on is that we’d like to make more money. And insurance can be very lucrative, that is… when done right.

That’s why we needed to talk to Ro and Don Polczynski from Agency CFO. They have developed this INCREDIBLE service that offers independent agencies a VIRTUAL CFO.

And providing that service means that they have seen a lot of agencies inner working and they have some thoughts.

So, today, they share with us the 5 most common mistakes agencies make today and how you can fix them TODAY.

Get that notepad out. You’re gonna need it.

When the pandemic set in, everyone had to make some changes–including us.

We took our two-year program from your office to the internet and it was a big change for us, but it seems to have paid off.

Laven Insurance Agency is a well-established agency that’s always done pretty well, but Brian and Linda Bernth wanted to do better.

The issue was they were burnt out on going to conventions and conferences and nothing lasting past the hype. Everything seemed great, but nothing was sustainable. So, they tried something else and it seems to have paid off for them, too.

Find out just how good things have gotten for their team, their agency, and for the owners themselves.

Imagine this: you can leave on vacation and not get one phone call. That’s right—not ONE!

Get your virtual notepads and listen along.

When bringing someone, anyone, into your agency it’s really important that you know how to interview potential hires for your insurance agency.

Start with a 15-30 minutes phone interview. Are they good on the phone? If Zoom is something your agency uses a lot, do that.

Then, have an in person interview. Make sure they are who they say they are. Try to establish what kind of team member they might be. Will they fit into your culture?

Finally, have the final interview. Be sure they are a sure thing. Get into the technical side of the position. A bad hire and the cost of one should motivate you to have this meeting no matter what.

On top of all of that, if you are bringing on producers or new leadership, you need to have a dinner meeting. Get to know their personality because that is extremely important in these positions. Is this someone you can trust with a chunk of your agency?

In this mash-up, we cover:

Phone Interview
In-Person Interview
Final Interview
Dinner Meeting

If you don’t want to be moving from one bad hire to another, you better know how to interview.

This week, we have been going on about how you create the ideal insurance job posting.

So, what’s the verdict? How do you do it?

Start by recognizing what you are creating and how similar it is to a dating ad. You want to leave people wanting more. Let them know what is possible with you, but don’t bog them down with the baggage.

Avoid common insurance job ad mistakes. Don’t make it a novel, but don’t skimp out on words. Don’t leave out details about what is expected of them in that position.

Generally, a great posting has 5 parts.

1) Solid Title

2) What you are looking for

3) Responsibilities

4) Your agency’s story

5) How to Apply

And finally, it needs a salary. Always and forever. You need to let people know what they can expect from YOU if they take this position.

In this video, we cover:

This is how we think you can make the absolute best insurance job posting.

“Busy'' is a four-letter word that is literally, to me, a grievance of the day. It is not a plan, it is not productive, it is not helpful. And, it makes it seem like our customers are just a huge inconvenience to us, which I don't think is a good look at all.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“I really want everybody to kind of take an inventory on the word busy, and say, is it really the best description, because I would much rather have a day where things go by fast and I'm active, and I've got a lot going on...than, a day where I'm waiting for the phone to ring wondering if I still have a job.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“When you choose positivity, it's amazing what can happen. And, you can also be the beacon that some other people navigate towards and away from that negativity, but only if you choose it. If you don't choose it, you're always going to be circling that drain of negativity, the post-meeting meeting is going to happen.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro

And, as they reach their potential, they're going to be happier in their career and they're going to make more money. So, without those metrics, you don't know what you need to do. You may have a goal, but you have no plan to get there.” - Randy Webb
“If I could go back and tell myself that day, anything, it would be to just be open-minded. Because, I didn't know what my potential was until I was looking at my potential. I can't surpass goals and bust out of the boundaries unless I know what they are. So, without knowing what they are, I was just running in circles. Now, I run in a line knowing what I'm going to get and how I'm going to get it.” - Marissa Winkleman
“If you have a team and you care about them and you feel like they care about your business, they're going to buy it. It may take a bit, they may be a little rough around the edges at first but, it'll be worth it.” - Marissa Winkleman

Key Quotes:

“ I always use the Microsoft Word example. Everybody uses it, but there's only 10 things that you use, and there's 150 that it does. Those 150 just kind of get in the way, right? So we took that out and created an easy, simple place for agents to do almost everything they need to do outside of the management system.” - Charlie Griffin
“There's a lot of layers and it's not for everybody. But, the beauty of what Bridge is, is that we single point priced it, so you don’t have to worry about who gets what, when, and where. So, every agency is different. They just pick the product up and use the pieces that fit them, grow into others, move out of others, and run that way.” - Charlie Griffin
“Invest the time on the front end. You'll shorten your cycle, and you'll protect yourself against getting bamboozled by a slick sales guy.” - Charlie Griffin

“The opportunities are endless, but you have to train yourself to slow down to speed up. Or, look at it from the perspective of... I could free up these three hours, I could go sell more, I could make that money up. And, you have to be in that habit. That's why the time tracking piece is super important, Yet people love to skip over it because they think they know what they're doing. But, until you track it, you really don't.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“In my studies, I also learned that I needed to free up my brain to have more creativity, and to down charge, and to be more present. Showing up at meetings, yawning all the time, or a few minutes late was never going to be a good look. So, that really changed my mind.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“If you're feeling a little burned out, whatever you'd like to do, time tracking is a great way just to open your eyes. It's kind of like... to me, it was stepping on a scale when you know you're trying to lose weight. I have to embrace where I am, to get to a better place.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro

“We make time blocking happen by making it an agency-wide thing. It can't just be one person or one department. Everybody has to respect the time block. It is a meeting with yourself to do the highest level of focus work for our customers.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“For somany agencies and for so many agents, is that we're on a time tidal wave. The work comes crashing all in, and then the tidal wave comes back. We get to catch up, and it comes crashing in. In those moments it's stressful. But, we're not the only job in the world that has this.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro

Stop being an insurance agent and work towards being a business owner.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“When people are self-managed, they jump into their own value systems of what they believe that they should be doing. Or, what they believe other people should be doing. And, that is no doubt hurting your business.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro

“Most people need that little call to action. When you call someone to action, you're saving them so much time, most people don't want to deal with their insurance, so we can take it off their list of things to do.

“Your customer experience is too darn important. And some people want your business and want your clients. So small little things like this go an absolutely, ridiculously long way.

In this episode of the Ridiculously Amazing Insurance Agent podcast, host Kelly Donahue-Piro brings you a mashup of her 3-minute videos where she discusses the final four ways on how to be ridiculously amazing this year and their latest course in Agency Performance.

Episode Highlights:

Kelly shares that we all need to be focused on being Tiggers because Tiggers are much more fun and the agencies’ grow faster. Therefore, it gives more opportunity to everyone. (2:01)
Kelly shares that we need to have a conversation and provide people options because remarketing is the last tool in your toolkit and it’s the most labor-intensive tool. (8:03)

Kelly mentions that their number one goal is every single time a client calls us, we need to improve their day and leave them better educated. (12:48)
Kelly mentions that we must recognize that we have the honor of protecting what people work hard for. (16:26)

Key Quotes:

“It’s all about Eeyores and Tiggers, and we know that Tiggers are fun to be around, happy, and excited, and Eeyores tend to be a little bit more glum. And if your agency wants to be ridiculously amazing, you need to keep finding Tiggers and replace those Eeyores.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“We want to make sure that you're educating and using knowledge to really be the sword against price. Because when people are confused and they don't know what they're paying for, they will lean on price.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“Your role in insurance is to not just talk about rate and price. Your role is to really be their tour guide, make it about coverage, and finding something in their budget. And that's all we’ve got to do. So, we need to use knowledge, and knowledge just doesn't happen in a time of peril.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“We are not here to do a task, we are here to have an outcome, and the outcome is complete protection for that client. And they have the right to reject that, but we have to educate and lead them.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro

Key Quotes:

“For many agencies, they wait for the customer to call them, and the challenge with that is customers only call with a complaint or a concern. So, their entire days are spent putting out fires. If we can flip that mentality to becoming consistently proactive, we want to have a better experience for our customers and make our lives and jobs easier.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“Let's be honest, most people don't understand insurance, and that's why clients are looking to us to lead and educate them. And that means every opportunity we have, we need to take that on.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“The bottom line is slowing down gets the job completed. Rushing adds more work to our plates. And that's something we cannot do we have to reject it as a mentality. Because honestly, if we all just took a moment, slowed down, completed the work, did a great job, really put a bow on it, the client would have a better experience.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro

“We finally got to the point, where it's not where we need to have every piece of business. We want the people who respect our industry, who value our professionalism, and that we're out here for their best interest.” - Vanessa Kimball
“Just because you've done it this way for 30 years, doesn't mean that you know what's right. I think having Kelly has really helped take the burden off of me, and given some guidance to the team. And it's really helped me to grow as well, to say, things change, the world changes. So you can't always do things the way you've always done it. Once I realized that and said I needed help, that was huge for us.” - Vanessa Kimball
