How to Make “Breaking News” Convert Into Leads for Life Insurance
I’m sure you have all heard about the bird-hunting excursion that Vice President Dick Cheney had in 2006. It was an unfortunate event for both Dick Cheney and the friend that he shot.
I’m sure he wasn’t planning on going into the history books as the Vice President that shot some one on a hunting trip. “Boy, doesn’t this give the anti-gun lobbyist some heavy artillery!”
If you keep your eyes open and your brain clicking… you can always take hot topics or current events that are getting the attention of millions of people and adopt them as your own “Life Insurance Leads Gold Mine.”
For example, with the Dick Cheney situation, you could turn the topic into something like…
“Accidents Happen Even To The Best Of Us…Just Ask Vice President Cheney…The Question Is …Are You Prepared When They Do?”
This is a great lead in for an interview for what kind of life insurance coverage a person should have if the ultimate accident happens…death.
Create a Media Frenzy to Get a Flood of Life Insurance Leads
Now you could take that headline and put it into a press release. Then you fax it to all of your local radio stations, newspapers and magazines.
Within a day or so you could be right in the middle of a media feeding frenzy.
They are just starving for any angle they can get for the hot topic that is already capturing the attention of the public. You can then position yourself as the life insurance expert that hand feeds the media the juicy stories they are craving.
Key components to consider when taking this approach to market your life insurance business:
- Be alert to the topics in which you can benefit from.
- Be creative in ways in which you could twist a topic to relate to the life insurance business.
- Act Immediately! Do not hesitate when an opportunity arises. You don’t want to be late for the party, because if you are you might be the only one there.
Endless Stream of Life Insurance Leads and Revenue
It may take a little preparation and a little practice, but once you get rolling, it could result in an endless stream of life insurance leads and revenue for you. And at approximately .10 cents a fax, it truly is a bargain for the impact it could have on your bottom line.
Just refer to your Business in a Box book for samples of press releases…that will give you a good start.
See if you can pick a few topics out of the news and twist them into a story that you could be an expert on.
