How to Hit the Hot Buttons of Customers - Understand The Customer’s Motives

Saturday, November 17th, 2007 / Category: Insurance Sales Articles

Do you fully understand what motives your customers have to use your services, instead of your competitors?

To boost your insurance customer base consistently over time, you need to identify what your customers want, and tailor your service to match them. Hitting the correct “hot buttons” of your clients can increase your return on investment from your marketing strategies. Find out below how to identify what your customers want, and how you can increase insurance sales for life, and build a strong customer base.

How to Gather the Correct Customer Profile

First you need to create an image of your customer. What would want them to choose your insurance service? Here are some tips to help you visualize your ideal customer’s frame of mind, and understand what kinds of expectations your customers have of your services.

See your service in your customers’ point of view.

If you were the customer, would you use your own insurance service, based on where you live, regarding safety and would you have any wealth to protect? Thinking like the customer can get you in their shoes, and tailor your service to exactly what they need. You need to know your customer better than your competitors, to stay ahead in the industry.

Some companies focus on using marketing techniques and sales pitches to sell their services, without understanding what the customers are truly looking for and how their lives can benefit greatly by using the services.

Find out your customer’s motives.

What do your customers really like about your service, that makes them pick up the phone and apply to use your services? Powerful motivations can be low price; excellent service and flexible payment plans (some customers might prefer paying monthly than yearly)

By identifying these key customer motives can give you an edge over your competitors, who have less of an accurate idea of the consumer’s motives. You want to stay ahead of your competitors all the time, so that while you’re moving forward, they’re moving back by doing nothing.

Let your customers know their privacy is ensured.

Conducting research involves some privacy issues. You need to make it clear to your customers that the information you’re researching for and gathering will only be used for your own research, and will not be shared with any third party.

Once you follow these tips mentioned above, you’ll establish personal relationships with your customers, who will loyally use your services for many years to come. Your customers will feel you are the only agent that understands exactly what they want, and they’re lives will be improved by using your services.

Instead of pitching insurance plans, focus on developing lasting business to consumer relationships and a loyal client base that will always use your services, and possibly refer their personal contacts to your service. Imagine all the word-of-mouth advertising your company can gain from applying these simple practices to your business. The results will be immensely beneficial to your company and your own personal life.
