I was fairly certain,back when all the hubbub about the sour direction of the economy was just beginning, that my newly-developed career as an insurance self-starter was about to take a seriously negative hit. I'd turn on the television after a hard day of work in the home office and see nothing but bad news about pretty much every industry out there. To get away from it all, I'd go on a drive –only to flip on the radio and hear about the dismal predictions for the future of pretty much anything touching the financial sector. Since then, the state of the public opinion –and its representation through the media-- has only gotten worse, with the occasional peppering of hope on the stock market.

But me? I'm doing swell, even though I never would have imagined I'd be able to make it through such a tough economy with my own insurance agency. I credit the bulk of my success to being diligent and persevering beyond the bad news, no matter how heavy it became throughout the past few years. But to be perfectly honest, there's also a lot to be said for the particular way in which I carried out my entrepreneurial insurance idea. Rather than take the traditional route, I decided to do pretty much everything online. In part, the decision was due to a bit of my own personal laziness; I've never been one to enjoy the trek to an office each day. But I also saw a lot of opportunity in the specific utility of online insurance operations, and this was especially the case when it came to leads.

Sourcing good leads has been a primary difficulty in insurance operations of every persuasion and goal, and getting ahead in this area is key to helping an insurance-related business establish itself and stay afloat –even in the most difficult of markets. I knew this going into the game, and I also knew that people have been increasingly using the internet as a means to look for insurance in pretty much every sector. I decided to work with InsuranceLeads.com from the beginning; professional source, nice service, and no hassles. While I didn't shop around for sources until my clicking finger was totally destroyed, I figured I could always switch should the results prove disappointed.

I never got to that point. Though I imagined that the going would be tough as banks collapsed and people started losing their cars and homes, what I experienced was actually a remarkable conversion rate –one that has allowed me to expand my business and start offering insurance solutions to my clients that I had thought would be several years –decades even-- down the line. The draw to look for insurance options over the internet is only increasing as people tighten their budgets and get serious about savings. When you make your service convenient and choose quality leads, the customers will come, even if all you hear is bad news when it comes to the insurance market.
