Instructions
*Step 1:
Check the licensing requirements in your state and get licensed. Each state has separate requirements for each line of coverage. Make sure you meet the testing and application requirements for selling auto insurance.
*Step 2:
Consider partnering with an auto insurance carrier such as State Farm, Allstate or another partner. These carriers are trusted names and come with brand recognition.
*Step 3:
Develop a marketing strategy. Use things like billboard advertising and direct mail to reach your potential clients. You may also want to consider hiring a marketing agency to help you.
*Step 4:
Publish a user friendly website. Make sure that your clients have access to a web-based tool to make changes to their policy and can contact you via email. Visit siteforless.com, which develops websites specifically for insurance professionals and can custom design a website for your auto insurance policy holders.
* Step 5:
Make communication a top priority. Consider developing a content-rich e-zine (electronic magazine) that is delivered into your clients’ mailboxes once a month. This will keep your name in front of your clients and will give them some helpful information too.
I recommend you find a nearby car insurance agent to assist you. Since I live in North Carolina I can’t suggest an agent in Alabama, but here is an online resource that can help you.
Good Luck.
