Are you using your professional network? Get more from it by using these LinkedIn tips for insurance agents!
In our digital age, having a social media presence is key. Even if you're not very tech-savvy in your personal life, your insurance agency needs to have a strong online presence. Social media is a big part of that. Feeling overwhelmed? LinkedIn is a great place to get started because it's designed to connect people for commercial (rather than personal) pursuits. Are you making the most of this powerful platform? Use these LinkedIn tips for insurance agents to make sure your agency is wowing on the web.
- Have a Proper Profile. Potential clients or network connections are a whole lot less likely to connect with you if all your profile offers is a ho-hum description and a fuzzy picture (or, worse yet, no pic at all!). Set yourself up for success on LinkedIn by setting up your profile. It should include a great photo, headline with relevant keywords (hint: "insurance" is a good one), applicable skills, memberships, and awards.
- Learn Your ABCs. Always Be Connecting. The more connections you have, the larger your network - and the easier to gather information and generate leads from it. Whenever you get a business card from a new contact, go connect with that person on LinkedIn.
- Cultivate Content. Make sure you're staying relevant. Promote blog content from your own site and/or use LinkedIn Publisher to share your content. When you use Publisher to put content out there, it automatically puts it in front of thousands of users thanks to LinkedIn's Pulse network. Just keep in mind that you don't own the content you publish to Publisher, so it's a good idea to keep the most important topics for your own blog.
