Excerpt from the Workbook 7 Step
Insurance Agency Business Plan:
| Your
insurance agency business plan outlines the essential elements
of a successful business plan for your service related
business.
KEY CONSIDERATION
As you no doubt have
discovered, people don't like to think about insurance -- even
bankers don't. Your upbeat, positive presentation will go
further than you can possibly imagine.
STRONGEST ADVANTAGE
People aren't going to stop
needing insurance. In fact, the need is growing constantly. It
seems the more sophisticated our society becomes, the more
important it becomes to be insured.
STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE
There's a long learning curve
to providing good products and good service in the insurance
industry. If you haven't got that background, don't even think
about it.
OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE
WITH YOUR INSURANCE AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN
Prove that you have the
experience to make your agency successful.
This is one industry where you
really need experience from the bottom up. The sales techniques,
the products, developing a client base, advertising, and lots
and lots about the rules surrounding the industry -- these are
all critical to your success.
Use your biographical summary
to prove that you have the marketing background and skill to
make your insurance agency successful.
Hanging out a shingle just
doesn't cut it. Building a strong insurance agency isn't easy.
It takes lots of time, and lots of skill. Be sure that your
business plan for your insurance agency sets out in detail:
- Your prominence in the
community;
- Your existing strong
portfolio;
- Any industry recognition
that you have received;
- Awards and recognition that
you have received;
- Your family's involvement in
the community, such as spouse's role in the local sports
teams;
- Your educational background,
with emphasis on insurance-related training;
- Your managerial experience;
and
- Your accomplishments, no
matter where they are.
This is not a time to be shy.
If you can't convince your banker to trust you, how can you ever
hope to attract clients who trust you
OTHER PLUSSES FROM YOUR
INSURANCE AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN
What is it exactly that will
make your business successful? What gives you the edge?
Is it a particular product line
that is very outstanding?
Is it your personal strength in
the community?
Whatever it is that will set
you apart, make it apparent in your insurance agency business
plan. Don't expect your lender to guess what it is -- s/he won't
be able to. So state it right up front and be proud of it.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR INSURANCE AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN AND AN INSURANCE AGENCY
MARKETING PLAN
For statistical information for
your marketing plan for an insurance agency, go to
BizMiner.
At the home page, look at the
bottom of the page for the "Insurance" category. Here you can
drill down to more specific types of insurance industry
companies, such as:
- Insurance agents and brokers
- Life Insurance carriers
- Mortgage guarantee insurance
- Warranty insurance and
- Title insurance
Each type of insurance company
has two reports. The Market Research Report provides data from
nearly 175,000 firms. This is the information that your lender
will use to evaluate your business, so it is an excellent idea
for you to review it as well. You may get the report for all of
the U.S., or just for your state, whichever is more appropriate
for you. It provides information on sales volume, market share,
sales per employee, startup activity, and a great deal more. The
Industry Financials provides norms for your industry, important
because your lender will have access to these reports.
Be sure to look in the left
hand column of that page for VIEW ALL REPORTS, then DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION compiled from US Census statistics. This, combined
with the Market Research Report, will form the foundation of
your business plan.
YOUR LIKELY LENDER/INVESTOR
If you are focusing on one or
two insurance companies, look to them first for startup
financing. If they cannot provide the funding directly, they
probably have a real good idea of who/what can provide it.

YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE
The internet is such a
pervasive force in modern marketing that you will certainly want
to use its power for your own business. See the

A sampling of the reviews:
T. Howard HanoverWhen my
partner and I opted to form our own agency, it demanded a lot
more time and energy than we had originally anticipated.
We originally thought, too, that our business plan would
resemble a proposal we give prospective clients. As you
know, it doesn't. Thanks for the advice. |
Jacqueline LesserI
followed your suggestion and approached our major carriers for
backing. They have had challenges of their own this past
year, so they recommended a bank that they dealt with
extensively over the years. Taking that recommendation
into the bank was the cherry on top. Geographically
speaking, we would never have approached that bank. But
with the recommendation it was a slam dunk. |
LeydaAs an independent
agent I feel like we can really serve our clients, not just sell
policies. What a difference in outlook. I wish I had
done it years ago. |
