“Life is unpredictable. A lot could go wrong, sir, and that’s why, you need a good insurance scheme.” Now, that is a line you find yourself repeating often. However, this volatility of life can hold true for your professional outreach, growth, and future too!
Let’s say you open your computer tomorrow and find out your system has failed, thereby making all your MS word and XL sheets bite dust and the product is you lose contact with all your prospects.
Worst-case scenario: You are never able to retrieve it! Right?
You’re probably contemplating what could be worse! Imagine this: Your data wasn’t just lost but stolen and now it lies in the hands of hackers.
Now, that would be one move to checkmate your career. You might land up in legal conflicts over this breach of privacy that your business has caused them.
Although, this happens way too frequently, an unsuspecting person would never accept the possibility that it might happen to him someday.
We really hope this never becomes a reality for you. But, if it does, do you have a backup?
No?
You need to get one ASAP.
Not just that, you need to gauge the harm a lack of CRM may have already done to your business –

  • You are probably sitting daily over entering contact details into a boring looking XL sheet.
  • Your team probably spends half their days calling leads, which bought elsewhere 2 weeks ago, because they simply don’t know which are the “hot” leads and which are the “NOT LEADS”.
  • You probably have one guy from your marketing team just busy writing mails.
  • Your workflow probably gets super delayed and your clients didn’t get the mail for 2 long weeks, just because you don’t have something that can enable you to actually track your business.
  • Your strategies to up your profits seem to be failing, but you don’t know what to do about it.
  • Your business has a lot of clients too, but not a lot of profits, and you know this is because your business hasn’t yet become organized.

These harmless little details actually haunt your business till much later and stop you from growing.
While you are busy assuring about safety and hope to your clients, you need some assurance for your own insurance agency.
The business you run deserves financial protection as well as exponential growth! Get your business a CRM for insurance agents.
A CRM software will not just let you store all your data in a safe and secure automated platform, but it would also make your work far more productive. It stands for Customer Relationship Management, but we swear, it can do so much for your business that’s beyond managing relationships with your customers strictly.
Let us see what CRM actually does for your business!

 

Put Together All The Information About Your Existing And Potential Customers At One Place

 

  • Organizing Your Leads And Customers Based On Their Common Characteristics
    As insurance agents do not often deal with just one insurance provider, they have a lot to cater to like –

    • Life Insurance
    • Health Insurance
    • Vehicle Insurance
    • Travel Insurance, And So On!

    Each one of these products implies your leads too will be diversified. You may have a 28-year-old man enquiring about travel insurance one day, and a retired 60 year old woman enquiring about senior citizens insurance.

    Moreover, someone with a spending capacity of $100 for insurance should not be pitched a policy of $1000 because you don’t want to repel your customer.

    So, naturally this diversity needs to reflect in the way you run your business. You know all these leads are so different from one another that if you were to send them all the same content via your newsletters, they would unsubscribe within a second.

    Furthermore, there are different schemes you pitch to different leads.

    So, how do you make sure this difference comes through? Filters & Custom fields! Do not put all your leads in just one group. Diversify them based on as many criteria as you deem right!

  • Capture Leads Directly From Various Sources
    There is already tons of paperwork and data entry that goes into the insurance finalization bit. However, even before a lead chooses to become a buyer, you may have to feed their data to your platform. Most insurance agencies often have to dedicate one marketing resource for this job, and when you work alone, this gets all the more depressing!You will be relieved to know a good CRM would help you do that without much physical intervention.
    CompanyHub’s CRM for insurance agents lets you capture leads directly from your website and marketing campaigns and puts them all into this centralized system for you. Moreover, if you have used a CRM or similar tool, you would already have plentiful data stored there, but worry not, our import wizard lets you move data to your new CRM for insurance agents.
  • Dashboard – A Complete 360 Degrees View Of Your Business
    Perhaps, what an insurance agent is going to need the most is simplicity but visual appeal. Reading through your microscopic terms and conditions papers, which are detailing most insurance schemes, can be boring, and you need a break!How about a visually exciting CRM?
    Everything you need is out there in this dashboard and you don’t have to shuffle between numerous tabs for getting the work done! Just hover your cursor, all your deals, leads, clients, quotes – everything is on your dashboard!Perhaps, the best feature is how easy CompanyHub makes it for you or your team members to update the business. Let’s say you speak to a lead and find new information.

    • You can add notes and details right next to a lead’s name while you are still on the dashboard.
    • Just a click and you can check everything-from the mails to the calls to pending deals, everything there is to know about your leads, right there!

    Half the time, phone calls can be really annoying for the lead, since most sales men just ask them to repeat everything all over again. However, imagine calling someone to ask for help and they already knew what’s up. Now that’s something everyone would appreciate!

    Now, isn’t that a CRM you need!

 

Convenience At Its Best!

  • Easy To Learn And Use
    What happens is that when a CRM offers too much, it frequently sabotages the need for ease.
    However, the CRM is no good if your team doesn’t find it comprehensible.
    They would eventually stop using it, making the hard bucks you spend buying the CRM software a wasted investment.
    So, you need something that comes with ease of use.CompanyHub’s CRM for insurance agents has been developed such that anyone who can understand basic English, can actually learn how to use the space within days.Try now!
