MARTELL MEDIA “Because every great relationship begins with a conversation…” Prospecting Bootcamp Intensive for Producers |
You know insurance. You have a book of business and are looking to expand, or you’re a newcomer and want to put those much needed accounts on the books. Martell Media has successfully trained producers and in-house teleprospectors, using proven techniques of top salespeople, gleaned from over 20 years of experience “in the trenches” -- both on the phone and in the field. We’ve taken the best of what works -- and discarded the rest. No hokey techniques nor sleazy boiler room gimmicks. A solid, professional “consultative” approach, that helps you meet your quota, without compromising your integrity or losing your mind. In just one intensive training day, you’ll learn the critical skills needed to get in front of new and better qualified prospects. The phone is an effective tool, especially when used in conjunction with other media. But there’s more to it than just picking up the phone and “smiling and dialing.” You may know insurance inside and out, but the unique medium that is the phone requires specific skills and techniques in order to be effective. We’re not insurance experts-- we’re just people who’s sole occupation for twenty years has been getting field sales people in front of the right person to tell their story. From large Fortune 500 CEOs, to Ma and Pa startups. Many of the cold calling and prospecting training and books out there are good, but they’re designed from a generalist’s perspective. We, on the other hand, have been working in various aspects of the insurance industry for two decades. We know your unique environment and its challenges. We speak your language. |
