If you were building a house, you wouldn't start hammering away. A smart builder would hire an architect to draft a plan specific to their needs. The same theory holds true when developing a sales culture with a marketing strategy to produce the very best results.

Most agencies fail to plan because they lack time to do so.

Most agencies lack a plan because they lack time, or perhaps the expertise, to devise one, not because they overlook the value. They don't establish a prospect profile to determine what would be the best, easiest and most profitable prospect for their carriers to write, nor do they establish a minimum commission level for new business. Again, it's not because the managers don't see value - when wearing so many hats, they simply don't have time.

So, why not hire the architect??

MarTechSM invested the time to construct a full-scale, easy-to-administer plan concentrating on employing your agency strengths. Then, MarTechSM master insurance professionals walk you through pivotal formulation steps needed to bolster a sturdy marketing foundation. Afterward, MarTechSM furnishes your producers their leads based on the goal-setting step of creating the plan to make their goals a reality - at no additional cost!

MAPSTM is Not - -

a CRM, Contact Manager, Sales Center or Even
a Traditional Means of Marketing!

All Client Relationship Management (CRM) or Contact Manager software programs have the capacity to store contact information. Still, they also require a salesperson to do all their updates and entry. This is tedious, time-consuming and quite frankly, not what salespeople started into sales to do. Plus, if not updated regularly, the leads and information pile up causing a good bit of frustration.

The most traditional marketing method used by many agencies to increase business is the 'Same Ole' approach - buy or create a prospect list, mail a letter to each prospect on the list, and follow-up with a phone call. If the prospect responds, the producer or telemarketer tries to get an appointment.

This method works only about one-fourth of the time. With this method, basically you're saying, "I know you don't know me, and I don't know you, but I'm ready to sell you something. Do you have a policy or policies expiring in the next 90 days and have an immediate need?"

When the prospect says "No," be it verbally or by simply not responding, most producers lose interest primarily because they are looking to find interested prospects NOW to meet their month-end numbers. The result is a one-time mailing, or sporadic mailings, with little to poor results. Eventually the agency abandons mass mailing, claiming no results and the sales manager tells the producers to work harder and put in more hours, but nothing changes and everyone's frustration continues.

Another traditional approach to increasing business is hiring a telemarketing firm to gather information and set appointments. Telemarketing usually generates better results than one-shot or sporadic mailings, but it has drawbacks, too.

Telemarketing is expensive and disruptive to the prospect's day and can be very intrusive. Stop and think how you feel when someone you don't know calls you out of the blue. If the prospect isn't ready to buy, you get nowhere. Even if you get "buying signals," but the prospect is still not quite ready to make the decision to see you, the lead may fall through the cracks.

The MAPSTM System supports your agency in building a true sales culture. To this end, MarTechSM engineered MAPSTM to work independent of the salesperson to proactively market to prospects!
