Written by OneShare Health | Sep 19, 2024 7:12:29 PM

In a competitive industry like insurance, customer outreach is critical for growth. Finding new ways to connect with potential clients while maintaining relationships with existing ones can feel like a balancing act. This article will explore effective strategies for innovating your customer outreach and increasing your overall revenue.

Understanding Your Client Base

The key to successful outreach starts with understanding your clients’ needs. Today’s consumers expect personalized communication, and this extends to the insurance space. Generic marketing materials no longer cut it.

  • Personalize Your Messaging: Different clients have different needs. Whether they’re small business owners, families, or individuals nearing retirement, tailor your communications to address their specific challenges and goals.

  • Segment Your Audience: Use data to categorize clients based on factors like age, location, and life stage. This allows you to deliver targeted outreach that resonates with their unique situations, making your interactions feel more personal.

Leveraging Technology for Better Outreach

Technology plays a huge role in improving customer outreach for insurance agents. By incorporating digital tools into your strategy, you can save time, increase efficiency, and engage more clients.

  • Automated Email Campaigns: Email marketing platforms like MailChimp or HubSpot allow you to schedule and automate personalized emails, based on client behavior or inquiries. You can nurture leads more efficiently and keep existing clients informed of updates or new offerings.

  • Social Media Engagement: Platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook can be valuable tools for engaging current and prospective clients. Sharing helpful content, posting updates, and offering free consultations through social media are great ways to stay top-of-mind.

  • Video Outreach: Video content can help you explain complex topics or introduce new services in an engaging way. A short video on what Health Care Sharing is, or how OneShare Health Programs work, could drive greater interest among potential clients. Consider platforms like Vidyard or Loom to make educational videos a breeze! 

Offering Health Care Sharing as an Alternative

Health Care Sharing is an alternative approach to managing medical expenses, often providing a more affordable option compared to traditional health insurance. It’s important to note that Health Care Sharing is not insurance. Instead, it allows members of a community to share medical expenses among themselves.

OneShare Health is a Health Care Sharing Ministry that offers Programs where members contribute monthly to share in each other's medical expenses. With monthly contributions starting as low as $72.99 for the Catastrophic Program, OneShare Health provides an affordable way for individuals and families to manage their health care costs. Programs include benefits like Smart Virtual Care (telemedicine), prescription discounts through Rx Valet, and access to the First Health Network.

Educating Clients to Build Trust

One of the best outreach strategies you can adopt is focusing on education. Clients are more likely to trust agents who provide valuable information that helps them make informed decisions.

  • Host Webinars or Create Guides: Offer a free webinar on the differences between Health Care Sharing and traditional insurance, or provide downloadable guides that explain the options available. By educating clients, you position yourself as a trusted resource.

  • Be Transparent: When discussing Health Care Sharing, make sure you are clear that it is not insurance. Explain the benefits of a community-based model while ensuring clients fully understand how it works. This honesty will build long-term trust and client loyalty.
