🤝 The Power of Referrals: Growing Through Relationships As the year winds down, be especially grateful for the clients who trust you with their friends and family. Referrals are the highest compliment, and they mean the world! Each referral helps you grow my business and connect with people who need personalized support. Here’s why referrals matter: • Trusted Connections: When a friend or family member refers someone, it means they believe in the service you provide. • Personalized Support for New Clients: Referred clients often start with trust, allowing you to dive right into meeting their unique needs. • Stronger Community: By working with friends of friends, you get to serve a more connected network, which makes what you do even more rewarding. Thank everyone who referred you this year. Remind them if they know someone who could benefit from a review of their coverage, that you would be honored to help! #insuranceagent #finalexpense #lifeinsurance #healthinsurance #insurancebroker #referrals #frontlinesofcoverage

Are you making these 10 prospecting mistakes? Avoiding common missteps can be the key to building stronger client relationships and growing your business. Check out these tips to sharpen your prospecting strategy and start seeing better results.

Win an award. Why not, everyone else seems to. Around this time of year I receive emails telling me that either I or my business has been nominated for an award. In the Best of This, or Best of That category. When this first happened, I believed it. Then the awards themselves came up and I purchased just a certificate everything else was quite expensive. I wanted the certificate to place on an exhibition stand I had. It did actually fool some people. The sad fact is not I or possibly hundreds of others actually win these award’s instead we purchase them. It’s a big scam. These fraudulent companies who sell these awards actually make up the category to fit your business and then take it from there. The reason I know this is because the same company contacted me the following year and hey presto I’d been nominated again only with slightly different wording. I knew if I accepted I would be Best of This, or of That. I have been nominated by other similar organisations too, one or two may actually be genuine but all such emails get deleted now. I’m posting this because I see on here people posting how proud they are to have won such an award. They should be proud too, not for the award but for believing themselves. No one actually needs an award to show how good they are, what they do need is belief that they are good enough regardless. These fraudulent organisations make a mockery of all genuine awards. Years ago I won a nice crystal paperweight. It just turned up with a certificate. I won it for networking. It was genuine and never cost me a penny. It’s the only award I’ve won and appreciated. I didn’t need it, it’s added no value to my business. It’s just nice to have. Final note, be careful not everything is what it seems.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒛𝒆 𝑻𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎! As we dive deeper into the Vruksh Premium League (VPL), I’m excited to share one of the most exhilarating moments of this journey—the auction day! This event was not just about bidding for members; it was a strategic game that set the tone for our team’s success. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 The atmosphere during the auction was electric! With team owners from various teams gathered, there was a palpable sense of excitement and competition. Each bid was a calculated move, and I felt the adrenaline rush as I prepared to secure the best talent for Synergeze Titans. 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 When it came to bidding, my approach was rooted in careful planning. Here are some key strategies I employed: ~ 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬: I focused on members whose strengths aligned with our team goals—those who excel in generating referrals, have strong attendance records, and are enthusiastic networkers. ~ 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Setting a budget was crucial. I prioritized members based on their potential impact while ensuring we could build a balanced team without overspending. ~ 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Being adaptable was essential. As bids escalated, I had to make quick decisions about who to pursue and when to hold back. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 I’m thrilled to announce that we successfully acquired five incredible members who bring a wealth of experience and energy to Synergeze Titans: 𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐢 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐤: A dedicated Vaastu Shastra Consultant with a perfect hold on her domain and possesses highest level of energy 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚: A family court lawyer and a strategic partner with good planning skills.

🔃 Do you need to 'sell' something?  This could be your skills on the job market. This could be your research at a conference. This could be the service or products of your business. This could be the cause that you would like people to support through donations or volunteering. 😨 What fears, if any, stop you from meeting your 'sales' goals? If you have any, you're not alone! 🖊 I've penned a blog post exploring "servant marketing" and "sales as a service". With these mindsets we will never fail to meet the first goal of our interactions if they are designed to be helpful first and to make a sale second. The first is within our control, the second is not. https://lnkd.in/gVuTuKgG You'll see this again when I release the monthly newsletter later today, but I felt that these ideas stand alone. Looking forward to reading your comments. #sales #marketing #businessfears #vulnerability #coaching #service #trust

📌 Decent stats these. Especially considering we had 2.5 hours of meetings in as well plus the prep for those meetings. 38/100 calls speaking to the ultimate decision maker is a great statistic and 28 of those being fully engaged conversations where they buy into our approach 🚀 Even the FO’s were very polite and helpul. Some of them felt so guilty for not being interested or being able to be interested that they gave us additional intro’s to businesses on the side 😁 🤝 #leadgeneration #coldcalling #ourreach #sales
