FL.

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.

Lead Generation Implementation


We have created a call center set up that allows our agents to call a large
group of people at once. With this, we contact leads provided to us by a sales
agent, or we buy leads from a lead vendor at a rate at which we can profit off by
selling this led to an agent for a higher rate with a warm transfer. There are many
lead agencies out there with various levels of pricing based on the lead type. We
have a relationship with a company involved in health care that is willing to add a
part in their inquiries with their lead agency at no charge. It's an add-on for life in-
surance.

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.

We offer an introductory rate for our product to become recognized. Cur-


rently, the starting rate per lead transfer is $60 for 30 days. We are giving our
clients a 90-second period to decide whether the call is for them or not. If they
choose not in this 90 second, we will not bill for that call. after the 30 days, if the
client is in contact with our work, we move up to our regular rate of $90, which is
still a competitive rate as companies charge upwards of $170 for the same leads.
The lead will fill out an online form and wait for a company representative to
follow up. Or the prospective customer may call the company directly from a digital
or traditional advertisement. An agent will first gather the lead's critical introductory
information and needs. Then, the agent keeps the lead on the line and connects to
the intended specialist. The representative explains the prospect's needs to the
specialist and makes the introduction between the two.

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

According to the Insurance Information Institute, the U.S. Bureau of Economic


Analysis gives insurance carriers and related fields credit for contributing $507.7 bil-
lion of total U.S gross domestic product in 2016. Furthermore, below displays a
breakdown of the insurance premiums and their respective costs within the U.S.
This information supports the importance of the insurance industry on both a global
and local level. Between 2018 and 2019, the population of Orange County, FL grew
from 1.38M to 1.39M, a 0.928% increase, and its median household income grew
from $58,588 to $63,461, an 8.32% increase. It is also worth mentioning the most
significant percentage of non-English speaking members are of Hispanic descent. It
will be crucial to hire multicultural team members to help bridge the gaps in com-
munication.

White (Non-Hispanic) 540k ± 3.88k


White (Hispanic) ± 11.7k
Black/African American (Non-Hispanic) 282k
HISPANIC POPULATION 455k people

As for future growth, the youthful generations are essential to having a


healthy base of business. By using social media sources such as Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, and LinkedIn, the agency will effectively communicate with the youth.
Unlike traditional marketing, cold calling from the phone book, and being lucky to
land 10% of people, social media allows for easy broadcasting of products or ser -
vices globally while attracting the largest group of youth and young adults.

Plan and Sales Strategy

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.

SALES PROCEDURES AND METHODS

Marketing will be vital to the agency's success. Analyzing where business is


produced and recognizing the most effective marketing will be a significant part of
the business. How the potential customer heard about the agency will be tracked
with every opportunity. Here are some Specific Market Strategies:

 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

Sometimes a prospect is more open to doing business with someone if they


see the person on the other end of a conversation. There's a lot to be said for body
language and facial expressions, hand gestures. A lot of what is communicated
when two people sit face-to-face and _discuss important matters, like ensuring
one's health, life, business, or property. Customer relations are better via video
chat. we are making sure that our agents are also using Screen Share to Your Ad -
vantage When Selling Insurance. You can use video to nurture relationships with in -
surance shoppers much as you did with family members during the Covid-19 quar-
antine. Have solutions outlined for the client with diverse types of insurance op-
tions? Share your screen so they can review the outline while you explain each
item. In ways, screen sharing makes selling insurance even more accessible than
face-to-face sales and phone calls.

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:

 Website-based job search engines (Careerbuilder.com, Indeed.com, Simply-


hired.com)
Staffing agencies (recruiters)
 Local headhunters specializing in insurance hires (staff that is already licensed)
 Advertising in local magazines/newspapers
 Speaking with local college professors about potential young business majors
with a focus on insurance

Managing Team Member Performance

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.
