1 Leads, Leads, Leads! 1

2 The question heard most often 2

3 Well, that depends From Alice in Wonderland: Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. Alice: I don't much care where. The Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go. Alice: so long as I get somewhere. The Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough. 3

4 Go to basics While we want this We don t want this - 4

5 Let s do the numbers 5

6 Define Success through ROI 6

7 Work it backwards Base commission = $200 $100,000 annual income/$200 = 500 sales 500 sales/50 weeks = 10 sales/week, 2/day Using 10/5/2 formula, need 50 leads/week 2% mailer return, 2,000 mailers = 40 leads With Brokerage Bucks match program, 20 leads/week from mailers? Leads from Providers? Leads from Faith-Based marketing? Leads from referrals? Leads from??? 7

8 Analyze your personal situation What area do you want to market? What product do you want to market? 8

9 Match product to target market 9

10 Follow the rules 10

11 Remember 11

12 Then what? We target - And attract - 12

13 Think about it 13

14 Or 14

15 So, where do we find folks to talk to? Let s examine The Brokerage Inc s Lead Program Menu. 15

16 Option A: Contact List Custom List Volume-Based Pricing A contact list custom ordered for you from a list vendor, based on the age range, income level and county you desire to work in. All contact names are scrubbed against the do not call list. Keep in mind this list is purchased at a discount from an outside vendor and is distributed multiple times. And, not all programs allow for cold-calling. Specifics are at under the LEADS tab. 16

17 Option A: Contact List Custom List Volume-Based Pricing 17

18 Option A: Contact List Custom List Volume-Based Pricing Build your list according to your personal specifications. Consider the Turning 65s, but remember everyone chases that market. Look to the T66s & T67s for folks experiencing Medicare Supplement price increases, with fewer agents pursuing the group. Pursue 70 year olds (for the same reasons as T66s & T67s), but also because of the Required Minimum Distribution requirements. 18

19 Option B: Community-Based Marketing Complementary Community-Based marketing programs create leads organically, and renew themselves, based upon agent performance. These programs include: Retail Marketing: Through various contracted Medicare Advantage carriers, and other one-off opportunities, agents have the opportunity to take advantage of natural and driven store traffic to carrier-supported and self-augmented store-based marketing locations. Look for trainings specific to marketing through retail locations on our website and in our agent communications. 19

20 Option B: Community-Based Marketing Complementary Faith-Based Opportunities: Group meeting opportunities through pre-screened faith-based locations. Informational topics of interest (Medicare 101, LIS/MSP, LTCi, Life Insurance/Final Expense, Healthcare Reform, among others) are presented to the congregation supported by church leadership. Live and recorded training webinars are available at 20

21 Option B: Community-Based Marketing Complementary Provider Marketing: Depending upon the product being marketed - referrals and lead collection from contracted network providers, or medical professionals positively affected by the proposed insurance offering. Live and recorded training webinars are available at 21

22 Option C: Carrier Generated Leads Complementary The Brokerage Inc. will at times have carrier generated prospects and/or recycled prospects. These prospects have responded to carrier solicitation or have been otherwise contacted, and have agreed to allow an agent contact them and discuss certain products. This may not necessarily be a preset appointment. This may simply be a prospect that is expecting your call. These leads may be seasonal and subject to availability. 22

23 Option D: Direct Mail Programs Cost Based on Extent of Use The Brokerage Inc. has direct mail programs available for all product lines. Simply choose a mailer from our marketing portfolio and let the professionals handle the rest. Different packages of mailers with discounts for Medicare Supplements; Final Expense; Dental, Hearing, Vision; Mortgage Life Insurance; Disability Income Insurance; Turning 65; and Medicare Changes are detailed on Our featured partner is America s Recommended Mailers (ARM). 23

28 Option D: Direct Mail Programs Cost Based on Extent of Use Our partnerships with different carriers also enable us to offer discounted direct mail programs targeting specific niche markets, including Medicare Supplements, Final Expense, and ancillary product plans. Carriers include: Standard Life and Accident Legacy Safeguard/United of Omaha Mutual of Omaha Washington National Transamerica 28

29 Option D: Direct Mail Programs Cost Based on Extent of Use Standard Life and Accident 1,000 direct lead mailer or 4,000 name consumer prospecting list Qualification: $5,000 of combined issued annualized health premium (5 combo sales) No limit on how many times you qualify for this program 29
