- With new products being manufactured, how do you decide what to offer?
- Most "experts" agree that interest rates are low and are expected to stay low. But, for how long?

February 2013 ALB Office Closings
Monday, February 18th - President's Day
A Message From
Mark Milbrod, CLU
What sets you apart?
There has never been a better time to be in the life insurance industry. We have so much to offer to a wide range of clients. It doesn't matter if you are targeting Business Owners, Seniors or making kitchen table sales to new, younger families.
The fact is, there are so many products available to cater to those groups, but, are you pitching products or selling concepts? To me, products are secondary to the process. Sure, without the products, there is nothing to sell, but most salespeople get caught in the trap of talking only about the underlying products, never looking to why a client needs it . I think you'll agree that an overwhelming number of clients do not want to buy Life Insurance. The whole notioin of betting on one's mortaility is a huge pill to swallow, which is why most people procrastinate and ultimately do not purchase it.
By utilizing a Consultative Concept Selling approach, you can greatly increase your chances of closing business by creating a strong awareness and understanding in the clients mind as to WHY they are purchasing life insurance in the first place.
For example, if a client expressed an interest in purchasing $500,000 of term life insurance, don't take the easy way out and "take the order." Talk to the client and ask them what the life insurance is for. The $500,000 is too round a number and often times it is to pay off a mortgage. That's great, but then what? What about monthly living expenses beyond that? Ask the clients what those expenses will be. When you're done, you will most likely be able to simply justify another $500,000 - $1,000,000 of additional life insurance. The client is telling you what their family needs truly are. That higher amount of insurance is now meaningful to the client, will move them to action and because of what you have done, there will be loyalty towards you as their advisor.
This is a simple example of what is meant by Consultative Concept Selling, but it makes the point. Any agent can sell a $500,000 term policy, but only some will set themselves apart and get away from the product discussion and onto a more meaningful needs based selling scenario.
You can be talking to Small Business Owners about Key-Man, Succession or Buy-Sell Planning. To Seniors regarding Legacy Planning or Asset Repositioning. No matter what it is, there are countless other examples of using the Consultative
Approach in all sorts of scenarios. The bottom line is that products are secondary to the process, but as advisors we must get away from just the products and set ourselves apart from others who are not taking this approach. This will undoubtedly lead to more meaningful client relationships and a greater revenue stream to you.
Contact us to learn more about the Consultative Selling Approach and let us assist you with a great answer to the question...
