Insurance Sales Training Delivery Options
We work with insurance companies of all sizes – retail and wholesale, personal and commercial. This requires flexibility in delivery options. We customize sales training for individuals and companies in the following formats:
Our most robust approach includes onsite and virtual training as well as online learning. Our insurance sales trainers are experienced at delivering concepts, teaching skills and driving interaction and best practice strategies. This is usually a one-year engagement for training focused on skill improvement.
Although in person is often ideal, due to producer geographic locations, it is sometimes preferable to deliver sales training virtually. We use Zoom and drive interaction with chat and Kahoot app. Virtual delivery often includes online learning and phone coaching.
This involves a company agreement for a certain number of producer seats for individual, real deal coaching. It is an extremely effective approach as the coach becomes very familiar with their producers one on one and is able to identify chokepoints in their sales process.
Insurance Sales Training Process
Evaluation
We evaluate the entire team including leaders, managers, and producers on the 21 Core Sales Competencies, review the findings and customize the training curriculum based on the results.
Sales Leadership Development
We begin by working with the agency leaders on their sales systems and processes as well as skill development in performance management, coaching, motivating and recruiting. The basics must be in place before sales training can begin.
Producer Sales Development
Training curriculum is customized and typically focused on implementing and executing a stage-based selling system, helping producers develop strengths in the areas of consultative selling, negotiation, qualifying, prospecting, getting to decision makers, presenting, and building advocates.
