Industry observers think agents & brokers have been too slow to respond…
"There are signs now, however, that the economics of the traditional agent model are beginning to unravel."
“For US property-casualty insurers, 2016 will be a year of ongoing disruptive change. Digital technologies…will continue to transform the market landscape , recalibrating customer expectations and opening new ways to reach and acquire clients…often faster than traditional mechanisms can react.”
“Reimagining Insurance Distribution: ”Our research shows that digital is playing an increasingly important role in the majority of customer interactions Insurers need to confront this rapidly evolving marketplace. Their decisions about how to engage customers in the digital age will impact the kind of businesses they will be…”
“...the stars are aligning to threaten the prevailing agency-centric model.”

“Marketing is too important to be left to the marketing people.”
David Packard Founder, Hewlett Packard
Secret #1: Agency-brokerage leadership takes responsibility for marketing.Hint: they don’t do it all. But they own it all.

Secret #2: They know the consumer has changed. So they’ve changed the way they market to them.
(Hint: JD Power showed that agents & brokers who use “emerging technology” to communicate have the most satisfied clients. And they get rewarded with higher retention, more referrals and more policies.)

Secret #3: They know where the “real money" is in marketing.
The purpose of a customer is to get a sale.
Novice marketers think…

They have different marketing processes to guide the each step in the customer journey:1. One that ATTRACTS people into their marketing funnel 2. One that CONVERTS prospects into buyers 3. One that OPTIMIZES customer relationships 4. One that RETAINS customers as long as possible

Secret #5: They focus their marketing resources strategically where it gets the most leverage: on their customers.

Hint: too many agents & brokers try to grow just by getting new customers, without having systems to turn new customers into loyal customers. (That’s kinda like trying to fix a leaky bucket by pouring more water into it.)
(Fix the bucket first!)
