Qualified Sales Leads vs. Nonqualified

First of all, insurance agents need qualified sales leads to be successful in selling insurance products. There are really only 3 steps to successful insurance selling.

  1. Decide on an insurance product(s) or service that appeals to you, that you know or are willing to     learn, that you believe in, and that consumers have demonstrated that they want.
  2. Select a proven method of finding those consumers who want your product.
  3. Develop a sales presentation that assists the consumer in making a decision and selecting your product over all others.

Of the 3 steps to successful selling, step #2 is what makes the sales profession so difficult for so many aspiring agents. Selecting a method of finding potential customers for your product is the art of generating qualified sales leads.

So, what is a qualified sales lead? Some believe compiling or purchasing a list of individuals in a specific zip code, earning a certain income level, and having attained a certain minimum age qualifies as a sales lead.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Even though certain demographics may reveal where a potential customer lives, how much they earn, how old they may be, and even how many children they have, this data does not mean you have qualified leads. Seasoned insurance agents identify this compilation as suspects for leads, but not qualified leads.

Exactly what is a qualified sales lead, and how does an agent find them among the mass numbers of suspects that are readily identified? Qualified sales leads are those potential customers who have actually expressed an interest in purchasing your product, and can afford to make the purchase immediately.

As you can see, generating sales leads that are qualified is a difficult task for the average insurance agent to obtain. Finding truly qualified sales leads is a numbers game which is usually expensive and time consuming to accomplish. Fortunately, this task can be outsourced to lead generation companies specializing in compiling qualified sales leads for insurance agents.
