Find Your Prospective Clients Case Study Find Your Prospective Clients I got a call from a Life Insurance Producer looking for a Pacific Life Recruiter. He found me on LinkedIn and we share a common connection with a good friend. He wasn’t located in my territory, but as a result, I was able to provide him with the name and number of another Recruiter in his area. Before scheduling my business travel, I use LinkedIn to search for Life Insurance Producers in my territory that I am not already doing business with. In advance of my last visit, I was able to identify and reach out to five prospective Life Insurance Producers.

Research and Meeting Preparation Case Study Research and Meeting Preparation I have been using LinkedIn to research Life Insurance Producers. One of these Life Insurance Producers was in our system, but had not met with a Recruiter in several years and nothing ever came of it. By finding his LinkedIn profile and website, I was able to gather information about him and was able to approach him from a very specific angle – to which he was receptive. We set up a meeting with him and now have a follow-up appointment scheduled. It has the potential to be a large relationship for us!
