what are some good recommendations where to obtain good insurance leads?

Answer 1

I agree with JJ. I'm not sure what kind of insurance you are selling, but other possible places to get leads are:

1. If you graduated from college, your alumni association is a good place to get names (some are better than others)
2. Local business times (newspaper) that announces new employees or companies
3. Being part of the community, not only by joining interest groups, but also neighborhood organizations, maybe you can become the neighborhood's insurance person (I know several people who have gone this route and in the welcome package they are included as the insurance person)
4. Most cities have networking groups. If you join one of those, there are some definite sales there.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Join organizations that interest you. The most successful agents that I know are involved with their communities. You will meet other business people from all different places in life. All of them are interested in being successful. Don't push these connections or you will lose them. Talk shop with them to see how things are going. Ask them if they think they have a good policy and who they are working with. Do not "bash" the competition. If their agent has a problem or messes something up, they will remember your attentive conversations and business will move your way. It will take a while, but it will come. Honest attention to the customer and good service will always trump the idiot that can save them 5% by buying a cut-rate policy.

I know many multi-millionaire agents and most did not start out that way, but they all have good ties to their communities.

Good Luck
