What is the best way to generate leads?

We Answered:

Have you considered making a Facebook Fan Page for yourself. Not only is it free, but millions of users log in to FB daily, increasing the chance for your business to gain exposure. You just have to make sure to constantly update your page with interesting, engaging content that gives FB users a reason to like your page and, hopefully, are curious enough to learn more about what your business has to offer. If you know HTML, you can add custom tabs to your FB page that will make it stand out from other competitors' pages. Also, promotions/giveaways in the form of products or discounts are effective ways of bringing in fans.

After creating a FB Fan Page, you can then begin reaching other online outlets for your business. Have you thought about listing your business online, specifically on websites that direct users to local businesses in their area like zipzoom.com? If you haven't heard of zipzoom.com before, it is an online shopping website where users/customers can search for local businesses that offer products and services ranging from insurance agents to electricians to flowers. Users can communicate directly with businesses they choose to buy services/products from after getting recommendations from zipzoom.com, and from there, your business can gain business.

Right now, zipzoom.com is doing a special promotion for vendors who are interested: register as a vendor on their website for free. It's a good option for those who are on a tight budget but still need exposure to grow their business. Who knows? You may provide a really great service that a zipzoom user ends up choosing, and then that user will spread the word about your business- word of mouth is definitely the best form of marketing, especially in the long run. If this is something that appeals to you, you should just try it out and see what happens because there is no obligation to sign up.

I hope that helped answer your question a little. Good luck with everything!

Why is "lack of health insurance leads to poor health" a reason to get something that is not health insurance?

We Answered:

They lead you to believe that it is health insurance. You would be surprised how many people fall for their pitch.

How can I sever the invisible contracts with the federal govt that leads to a Equity Jurisdiction Attachment?

We Answered:

Following the advice of Mr. Mercier and others like him will probably lead to a charge of tax evasion.

If you want to be free of involvement with the United States government, renounce your citizenship and move out the United States and stay out of any of its territories. That is the only sure way.

How to get more leads?

We Answered:

If you sell specific policies to specific sized businesses in specific SIC codes, I'd subscribe to a web based lead/contact provider. Most provide software that lets you search by business size, SIC and geographic location. Do a google search for business leads and find some companies that produce lists of businesses that you could insure, then get on the phone and start x-dating. Do some follow-ups by mail and if you happen to be in an area, drop in. Hard work, I hope you get serious $$ for writing policies.

Where can I get good insurance leads?

We Answered:

There are a number of companies that sell business leads or mailing lists, most have Internet access for a monthly fee.

I've used this to extract businesses by SIC codes in a given area and then you apply your favorite marketing method: dial for dollars, targeted mailing, drop in and visit, whatever works for you.

Start x-dating, find good businesses to write, then write them; there you go, you now have the MBA course in agency building. Good luck.
