The Insurance Agent’s Status Quo

STATUS QUO ——> Quoting vs. Broker of Record Letters

Question: Why do insurance agencies keep prospecting for new business the way they do?

Answer: Because it’s the way their agency has ALWAYS done it!

For those of us somewhat unfamiliar with this concept, it is called the Status Quo.

The remarkable Seth Godin wrote a best-selling book called Tribes, in which he frequently discusses the idea of the status quo.

In his article Top Ways To Defend The Status Quo, he gives 17 statements which assist us in answering the question about whether we are leading, following, or defending the present system.

Here are just a few that I think are interesting for insurance agents when it comes to Quoting versus Broker of Record Letters.

“That will never work.”

“Well, if you had some real-world experience, then you would understand.”

“It’s fantastic, but the salesforce won’t like it.”

“Well, this might work for other people, but I think we’ll stick with what we’ve got.”

“Our team doesn’t have the technical chops to do this.”

“Maybe in the next budget cycle.”

“We’ll get back to you on this.”
