Heading in the Right Direction with Direct Mail

Top producers understand there is a recipe for success direct mail lead generation.  Now some may call it a formula, others might refer to it as law, but the common theme expressed is that success is the byproduct or logical result of a certain set of actions.

That’s good news, because if you haven’t achieved the success you want with direct mail, it’s probably not because you haven’t tried – it is much more likely that you just haven’t discovered the recipe for success using lead generation.  In fact, the disappointment and frustration you may feel are indicators that you have tried, but simply haven’t discovered the proper combination to unlock the results you are truly capable of achieving with direct mail.

The First Contact

The first contact is really accomplished by the style of the advisor. Some advisors will take the direct mail lead cards and knock on the door with the lead in hand, while others will make a phone call to schedule a time when they can bring the information by to their house. Either way, advisors should remind the prospect why they are contacting them.  Here are some phrases that have worked for advisors across the country:

“Hi Ms. Jones, I am calling you in response to the reply card you sent in requesting information in regards to saving taxes on your social security.  I have that reply card and the information for you and I see you live on Main Street.  I am headed out that way later today, could I drop the information off to you?”

“Hi Ms. Jones, I wanted to the thank you for sending in the reply card on minimizing the taxes you pay on social security.  Can I drop that information by to you today and take a second to explain some of the information that was on the reply card.  It won’t take but 15 minutes.”  Remember to be personable. Also, remember that these people need your guidance and want the information that you are providing.  The first contact sets the tone for your future conversations and possibly many referrals down the road.

Direct Mail – Lead Generation for the Insurance Industry

The key to every business is how to find the right avenue to advertise in order to experience growth for success.  Here at The Lead Connection we believe that Direct Mail Marketing is the avenue for building your business portfolio to ensure future financial piece.

Direct Mail Advertising lends itself to uncovering unforeseen prospects.  Too often people try marketing and say “direct mail lead generation does not work.”  They also say the same thing about advertising.  Consider this, it might not be the fault of direct mail marketing or advertising.  Perhaps the combination of three key elements for a successful direct mail campaign were missing: the list, the offer, and the creative.  Without these elements, a lead generation campaign is doomed.  Present these elements and a campaign will thrive, resulting in your financial gain.

Customer satisfaction is our #1 priority.  Direct Mail campaigns depend upon a reliable source for lead generation.  In addition to targeting demographics, providing superb turn around time is imperative in the mailing process.  When you place your order with us by 9:30am, that order is mailed by 2:30pm the same day. Guaranteed!
