EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Talent/acquisition
Sales approach
FFL Advisory firmly believes that people don’t buy products, insurance, poli-
cies, etc; people buy people.
FFL Advisory will supply and tailor our customers concerns, pain points, and/
or needs with a designed collaborative process that places the importance on the
client and meeting their specific desired outcomes. A trained and FFL Advisory will
set SMART goals for our agents to retain our talent, while operating at a profitable
and competitive within the market. The essential elements for growth that will con-
stantly be kept in mind are product ability, knowledge of client needs, and setting
up trust in the agency.
The agency will provide the customer with outstanding service through a
friendly and knowledgeable team. Trust, integrity, and loyalty will be the foundation
of the agency and adapt to the ever-changing economy to help both the policy-
holder and FFL Advisory alike.
COMPANY GOVERNANCE
FFL Advisory will be running as an LLC with two partners, one sales represen-
tative, one recruiter and a part time phone representative. This business acts as a
subsidiary of Family First Life. The premiums are distributed from the carrier di-
rectly to our Sales Agents. This business will be in Orlando, Florida.
SWOT Analysis
MARKET DEMOGRAPHICS
In 2019, Orange County, FL had a population of 1.39M people with a median age of
35.6 and a median household income of $63,461.
The problem agents face is that they waste their time making calls out to
prospects. At times, they do not answer the phone. With the laws in place, they can
only call every x number of hours to reuse the leads. Making it costly to keep up
with demand when all calls are rejected. We have a bigger platform with more leads
and a smaller price because we get so many. We can continue calling and calling
and never run out of leads. Once they answer and the call is screened, it is trans-
ferred to the agent to close the sale. This type of call transfer is a warm lead.
The number of times a lead is contacted is very crucial to their likelihood of becom -
ing a sale. Agents usually call between one and three times, but a good company
calls 7 or 10 times, if not more, to collaborate with and warm up the lead. Before
these live transfers, final expense leads ever even speak to an agent from your
company. Warm transfers maximize time savings and closing rates, allowing you
the peace of mind to know that by the time the lead will funnel a piece of informa -
tion to one of your agents, it has a remarkably high likelihood of becoming a sale.
The agents have a higher probability of selling their product as the caller is
explicitly searching for the product they sell at that moment. It is not an aged lead,
and it is not a random cold call. The call has been pre-screened and is ready to buy
if the seller closes. Before ever reaching your agents, these leads are to be prequal-
ified based on health history, Income, Age, Interest level, & more extra. On top of
that, they are also prepped for the conversation with your agent perfectly, under -
standing the process. Also, they are educated on their options and asked even more
prequalifying questions before ever being transferred.
Our powerful marketing program will ensure success because you will close
more sales in this dog-eat-dog market. Your insurance agents will experience more
productivity as a result. Please choose from one of our live transfer insurance leads.
These include health, life, mortgage, auto, homeowner, and annuity insurance
leads. Taking part in our Live Transfer Insurance leads means you can preserve
your time instead of chasing leads yourself. Once the call is transferred to you, that
lead has been pre-screened by our professional consultants, so you can rest as -
sured that the prospect is ready to hear what you have to say. If you're in the
health care insurance field, we've got the expertise and services that can benefit
you.
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Finding out where the agency's sales and leads are coming from is essential
to tailoring and maximizing the marketing budget. A strategy that we will be en-
couraging in our staff is to be a part of the community. Someone that people look
up to and can trust. Word of mouth is the primary way to get leads and is depend -
able. Some strategies for building community relations are:
Sponsor local sporting events and fundraisers.
Meet local businesses in the area and offer services to them.
With the growing popularity of internet-based communication and marketing,
FFL Advisory will make daily posts on the company's Facebook and LinkedIn
pages to share insurance facts, questions to think about, and any new general
policy changes or availabilities.
Along with community outreach, the business will take advantage of other mar-
keting sources such as telemarketing through the book of business lists, bill-
boards in the surrounding area, direct mailers sent to potential customers, and
social media to network and reach more of the younger generations eligible for
insurance.
Each team member in contact with a new business will be asked to record where
the company heard about the agency. These dispositions are the first indicator
of what areas of marketing are thriving. Adjusting marketing funds will generate
more business for the agency.
Consistently updating the agency's Facebook page and microsite on Google and
other search engines.
Work in a Facebook promotion twice a year to encourage growth virtually by of-
fering a ten-dollar gift card to those who invite the agency as a friend and men -
tion the Facebook promotion upon getting a quote.
Call nights from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. This will generate a high answer rate and the
opportunity to inform and invite the customer to inquire of our services.
Thank-you cards will be to all new businesses.
Local advertising in newspapers, community flyers, local schools, colleges,
churches, and area restaurants.
A referral program will be in place for every customer that lists three friends or
family who will receive a ten-dollar gift card.
TECHNOLOGICAL USE
RECRUITING PLAN
The agency will be run with two full-time sales specialists, one full-time sales
assistant/service specialist and rotate through a college intern to concentrate on
telemarketing. The agency will have several means of finding qualified individuals
to fulfill each vital role:
measure the success of the team a whiteboard tracking monthly progress will be
posted within the office where it will be visible to stop throughout the day. Each
team member will be assigned a color and will record under the appropriate product
line the customer and the marketing mean that created the sale this will create a
competitive atmosphere among the team and hold each accountable for his slash
her sales within the month this will help show trends from month to month and cap-
ture a picture of where the agency is. At the end of each week the team meeting
will be held in the room where the board is present during the meeting the boards
can be referred to for areas of improvement and successes can be celebrated, we
will celebrate these accomplishments of the top performers and provide live enter-
tainment in an effort to create and maintain a positive and uplifting company cul-
ture.
