InsuranceLeads.com Blog by Insurance Agent

If you listen to the content of most modern media outlets or you eavesdrop on a coffee shop conversation anywhere in the United States, chances are you'll hear something come up about health insurance. The buzz has been especially boisterous lately as new pieces of legislation on health care are discussed in Washington, and pretty much everybody seems to be forming a heated opinion about the way in which the health care industry –and subsequent insurance coverage-- should work. Some agents might view this as a bad playing field for going out and selling new health insurance plans, but as with most things in life, a bit of chaos can be more of a help than a hindrance. With the functioning of the health care system up in arms, scores of people are taking the time to really think about their health insurance plans, whereas they were probably more prone to “leaving it alone” in the past, an indifference which often translated into closed doors for insurance agents.

With an active interest in the particulars of their health insurance plans, prospects tend to be more engaged and willing to talk about the subject, divulging ample personal information that can make it easy to describe a given insurance project in light of their individual needs –a true ticket to sales success. When you combine this interest with quality leads, you can cut whole swaths of failed calls and emails out of your agency accounting, and you're bound to notice a significant increase in conversions if you use your leads as traffic on a website. After shopping around a bit for leads that were capable of helping me close deals and taking a lot of the stress out of selling without being overpriced or difficult to control, I decided to work with InsuranceLeads.com, which is where I now source all of my leads for a range of insurance types.

The health insurance leads from InsuranceLeads.com are sourced on the internet, where people fill out questionnaires and are processed and delivered to agents by any of four methods (I've worked with hot live transfers, uploading, and direct linking so far). The leads are filtered before they ever reach you to make sure that they're genuine; you won't find any known false contact information or bogus entries. The prospects are expecting to be contacted and to receive quotes, something that makes them far more receptive to a sales pitch and helps to make the working experience much more pleasant, as well as more profitable.

InsuranceLeads.com has a nice selection of filters you can choose as an agent to ensure you get leads that are matched with the criteria of whatever packages and policies you're selling. You can screen leads for major pre-existing conditions and pregnancy free of charge. You can also tailor the demographic group you receive, limiting leads to a specific territory or to a zip code radius. With great control and prospects with genuine interest, my leads are the perfect match for the many current opportunities in health insurance.
