Getting new referrals can be tricky. It seems like the number of people who are willing to recommend your business is limited, but the truth is, that can change. Referrals can be an important source of leads for your independent insurance agency. Here are three ways that could help you get there.
The type of customer service you offer your clients could have a direct impact on the number of referrals you get. Think about it. If you visit or deal with a business that's lacking on the customer service front, would you recommend it to someone else? Probably not. We tend to support that which makes us feel good and valued. Provide that same feeling to your clients and more referrals will come.
Many of your clients have businesses of their own. Referring their businesses to others could be a very effective strategy to motivate those clients to refer your business to their family, friends and even their clients. This simple action could start a chain reaction that can gain you more business.
Whether you email your clients and potential clients or rely on your website or social media, whenever you communicate with your audience, you want to make sure you convey the right message. Generic content can make you come across as unprofessional and like you don't value your clientele. Take time to work on marketing content that conveys who you are as a business and at the same time, speaks to your clients' wants and needs.
