Good communication skills are very important if you want to become successful as an insurance agent. You should never hesitate to initiate a new discussion with your prospect. Always speak confidently without paying heed to any interruptions and disturbances going around so that the prospect could trust you and believe that you are sure and confident about you and your firm. Avoid the discussion in presence of any third person. There should be only two persons on the spot-you and your prospect. And fix your meeting when you are in your best of health so that you do not feel tired and exhausted in meeting.
Good Luck
Good Luck

hi tusharagg87
Always speak confidently without paying heed to any interruptions and disturbances going around so that the prospect could trust you and believe that you are sure and confident about you and your firm.
Good thought..but I'd love to add to it a bit -
See, it is now a known fact that the first 30 seconds over the phone & the first 3 mins face-to-face are the most important time to grasp the thought process of your prospect.
The time you open your mouth...the countdown begins...most of what you are selling would be unheard...how you are delivering it to him..is the most important part of it!
Keep coming.. :)

I've used a tape recorder to listen to my voice and to get the feedback I need to improve it.

In fact, it closes the deal for you. The first few minutes are the most crucial to decide the fate of the meeting. You're required to apprehend and place the bargain accordingly.
Also you need to stay assertive all through the interaction. However, good discussion, tushar :) keep coming...

Confidence and competence should never be too far away from each other. Practice with a tape recorder, a friend, or with live prospects will develop competence. Confidence will follow.
Having a more confidence than your competence will merit is not a good thing. Work on competency and confidence will automatically follow.

What I mean is that you should be alert enough what's going around you and where the discussion is heading towards.If you feel the prospect is getting bored, change the topic and try to again come back to the same topic in a much interested way so that it keep your prospect gripped to you

Hi there..
To me the most important thing is to empathize with the prospect. That will get us more towards his desires..
In order to do that we have to listen with the same dedication as we'd be trying to explain our product/service features to him.
Highlighting the benefits or the USPs of your products or services could be another vital step..
Suppose I am selling a family program that offers movie-tickets at a discount. Say, the same program offers a purchase-protection guarantee..
..now over here we should be careful at presenting the right kinda benefit to the right kinda person..eg. we need to remember if our prospect is of the age -group 50-60, the probability of his buying it for the latter benefit is more.
Regards, Evan
