Looking for some advice on accessing high end customers.
I'm about a year into my role as a P&C producer and I've built up a decent network of people who are sending me home and auto insurance leads. The initial business I've written is generating cross-sells and referrals, so I feel good about the base of my business and the income it generates.
One of my prospecting/networking activities has been participating in a group of real estate professionals. They're an ambitious bunch which I like to be around. I find experienced insurance agents tend to trend toward fat and happy of their renewal business, so getting some fire from people who live and die by each sale keeps me awake.
At a recent event, an agent from Georgia came to speak about her success accessing "luxury markets" in real estate sales. Obviously there's a wide gulf of difference between the commission motivation of a real estate deal versus insurance, especially as it relates to the tail of service you create with any new business. Part of me fears I could be chasing PITA business that I'll be begging to get rid of later, but that's the risk eh?
Has anyone out there been successful working high end clients for P&C. I have partners in life and financial planning that could round out their needs, but I'd like to be prospecting, landing, and sharing those clients with my network. I'm already prospecting in various ways, but looking for some proven ideas that might be unique to this market segment.
Thanks!
