When it comes to insurance agents and social media, some of the gurus believe that no one is going to care about you on social media. They'll say "oh no one wants to see anything about insurance on social media, it's so boring" or "you should only post when you have something to say." They'll go on about how the time and money put into it doesn't get you any returns. These experts truly believe there is no lane for you on social media. I mean, some of you believe there is no lane for you on social media........... (if that's you raise your hand)
Well, non-believers, I'm here to tell you I think that's complete bologna.
Well, not entirely. Yes, for the most part, no one cares about insurance, I agree. But that hasn't stopped tons of agencies and agents across the United States from kicking butt on these platforms.
You should post and you should post often, but only as long as the posts are relevant. Now I know I did also just say that no one cares about your posts, but hear me out. To be relevant means for your posts on social media to be "positioned accordingly". Positioning your posts the right way is simply you joining the conversation and "getting in where you fit in". Every day there is a conversation on social media, your job is to join and contribute to it. I could go as far to say, you don't even have to focus on insurance (hint, hint). Your social presence could play an entirely different position. Again, "get in where you fit in."
