Lindsay Becker, VP HCB-Milwaukee What’s Worked in 2017 Lindsay Becker, VP HCB-Milwaukee
Key Accounts Goals for Each Account Institutional Accounts: RW Baird, Wells, US Bank, Stifel P&C Agencies Handful of IBDs & RIAs Goals for Each Account Visit each office annually Keep in touch regularly with branch mangers, office principals & centers of influence at each office Be the resource for all things life, LTC & disability Consistency, Efficiency, Accuracy
What’s Worked When Onboarding Institutional Accounts Top Down Approach (Corporate Influences Branch Managers Advisors) Focus on Geographical Areas vs. Focusing on Accounts Approach one city at a time Get to know the city & key advisors/agents in it Don’t Count Any Advisor Out Get to Know Each Institution’s System Well Speak their Language
What’s Worked in Meetings Don’t be afraid to ask for the meeting – even if the advisor is already working with a competitor Know the competition Talk about simple topics & be repetitive Focus on developing a friendly relationship with the advisors and not all about business… I’m relatively unathletic and started to golf which provided common ground with a lot of my advisors Partner with carrier’s where it fits – lunches or dinners Try to follow-up within 24-48 hours with call or e-mail Always do what you say you’re going to do, take good notes
Key Topics Focused On 4 Key Topics: Policy Review Estate Planning LTC Planning Business Owner Planning
