<div id="bd"><em><a href="http://www.prlog.org/">PRLog (Press Release)</a></em> &#8211; <em>Mar 21, 2012</em> -<br />
StartUpSelling is providing a brief, educational and complimentary web seminar sponsored by WIAA. Our expert panel will review the Four Step Insurance Agency Marketing Plan and discuss the elements required for a successful strategy. We will provide case study analysis of several agencies that have leveraged this integrated approach to gain access to prospects and provide their producers with qualified opportunities. Topics include:</p>
<p>* Building your prospect database and email list<br />
* Reaching your target market through eMarketing<br />
* Leveraging warm calls for quality appointments<br />
* Expanding reach through Social Media Marketing</p>
<p>Agency producers don&#8217;t like to spend their time cold calling new prospects. In fact, it&#8217;s really a waste of their time. Their time should be spent closing business. Referral opportunities incrementally improve insurance agency marketing, but to fuel strong growth, it&#8217;s crucial to capitalize on current insurance agency marketing innovations and the advanced marketing methods offered by StartUpSelling. StartUpSelling provides your producers with high quality lead generation programs to ensure they optimize their time with in-profile prospects. A compelling, up to date, insurance agency marketing plan will help ensure your agents achieve peak performance, expanding their book of business. Effective, streamlined insurance agency marketing is critical to the success of any agency. StartUpSelling, Inc. provides integrated insurance agency marketing solutions for the insurance industry.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>StartUpSelling is pleased to announce their new iPhone Application, The Prospect Scorecard. The Prospect Scorecard offers salespeople and businesses a simple and easy way to qualify, track and rank their best prospects. Salespeople, sales managers, entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, insurance agents, realtors and other business people often refer to prospects in vague terms such as: new, warm, hot, cold, likely, qualified, etc. These terms do little to better understand a sales pipeline or convey likelihood of purchase to other members of the team. The Prospect Scorecard resolves this issue, simply, quickly and easily for any salesperson or business. Benefits include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Helps you create ideal attributes to form a buyer persona</li>
<li>Creates a simple numeric system to leverage your buyer persona</li>
<li>Assigns numeric values to rank your best prospects</li>
<li>Helps you create a simple qualification acronym to determine likelihood to close</li>
<li>Ranks your prospects alphabetically, by Prospect Score and Quality Score</li>
<li>Color codes prospects into Green, Yellow and Red categories, quickly elucidating prospect status</li>
</ul>
<p>Website: <a title="Prospect Scorecard Website" href="http://www.prospectscorecard.com" target="_blank">http://www.prospectscorecard.com</a></p>
<p>Apple: <a title="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prospects-scorecard/id472389993?ls=1&amp;mt=8" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prospects-scorecard/id472389993?ls=1&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prospects-scorecard/id472389993?ls=1&amp;mt=8</a></p>
<p>What does your perfect client look like? Create a Prospect Scorecard to quantify your approach to prospecting and pipeline building. Some of the attributes of your ideal client might include revenue, growth rate, client type (business or consumer) and market niche. For example, are you targeting companies between $5 million and $10 million in revenue? Are your best prospects fast-growing firms like those found on the Inc. 500 list? Are you selling to consumers? If you’re selling to consumers, are they high net worth prospects, middle income, younger or older? Are your prospects in a specific niche market such as banking, insurance, biotech, plumbing, consulting, education, etc.? Create a Prospect Scorecard with your ideal attributes and a customized qualification abbreviation to help you determine if you are selling to an in-profile prospect. Go to http://www.prospectscorecard.com to learn more, or order from iTunes, it&#8217;s only $1.99 per download.</p>
