I'd love to pick the brains of any contributors who have insight on management of a high volume life insurance practice.
I receive 20-30 referrals weekly across three new england states. The referrals are handled by myself and one junior agent (for now).
Having started my career in captive agencies, my instinct is to attempt to meet each client face-to-face for a full financial review.
However, that's neither practical for efficiency purposes, nor what I feel is preferred by the majority of my clients. So I've made this concession. In that trade-off I fear I'm sacrificing average case size (2017 avg case was 1300 premium) for predictable high volume term cases and perhaps selling short the value I can provide the clients if I spent more time to better know their circumstances.
I can't be alone in this circular thought and would love some best practices and tips on process (from client contact to delivery) that will help improve the service I'm able to provide my clients while maximizing the opportunity for my agency. Thanks.
