Facebook: This is the basic recipe: Type the appropriate keywords for the type of insurance you sell in your search box, limit the search results to your friends (and groups, if you belong to any), and scan people recently talking about these keywords or phrases to see if you can help with any issues they’re having. Life insurance agents may want to search for “life insurance” or “term insurance,” in addition to looking for friends and connections who have experienced a recent life event that would qualify someone to re - examine life insurance, such as births, deaths, birthdays, retirement, etc. Health agents have it a little easier, because people are more likely to talk about “health insurance” and “Medicare” than life insurance on social media. Also, trending articles or issues that show up in the search results may be good topics to share on your networks, so don’t throw out everything that doesn’t deal directly with people looking for insurance.
If you’ve ever looked at your site analytics and yelled “what do you want from me?” you’re not alone. That’s why Inspectlet lets you analyze user activity via eye-tracking heat maps, screen capture, and user interaction analytics. You’ll be able to watch how users interact with your site and figure out where they may get confused. And then get to work fixing those areas.
