Insurance Leads: Leads are people
February 13th, 2011
Leads have been a part of insurance sales for decades now, but there are still a lot of misconceptions about what exactly they are.
People tend to think of insurance leads as a card or an email with contact information. An email address to send a form letter to, or a phone number to call with a scripted message.
Salespeople often treat leads as data, something to be used to boost a bottom line and plug into a database.
And while leads can do a lot for your bottom line, to view them as something you can simply plug into a system and expect a sale to spit out is an unrealistic and unproductive perspective.
People are complicated.

February 9th, 2011
Hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians currently face the threat of catastrophic family health care expenses from serious, unexpected injuries or illnesses, such as accidents, sports injuries, cancer, diabetes, and other diseases.

The Ohio Supreme Court said a university’s insurance coverage extended to a charter bus that crashed, killing five student baseball players and two others in 2007.

Beat the winter blues
February 8th, 2011
Winter. Just when we thought it was over, Jack Frost pulled a fast one on us. If you have been watching the news, you know that more than a third of the country was pounded with snow last week, causing power outages, canceled school and work, and treacherous driving conditions. If that is not enough to drive anyone crazy, I do not know what is. Even though Punxsutawney Phil (you know, the weather-forecasting groundhog from Pennsylvania) did not see his shadow and predicted an early spring, it feels like winter will never end.
Winter blues is that down feeling you get when the days are shorter and it just cannot seem to get any warmer. Bundling up, day after day, going to work before the sun rises only to go home after it sets.

It’s Okay to Spike the Football, but Get Ready for the Next Kickoff in Higher Courts
February 6th, 2011
The Wednesday update on the surprisingly good and sweeping ruling in Florida that struck down the entire Obamacare health law as unconstitutional is: What do the states do next, and how does the “rule of law” Obama administration respond?
It’s technically correct that the only governing law, at the moment, in this realm for the 26 states that were plaintiffs in the district court case is that there is no Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that applies to them. Cue the dancing in the end zone by several governors, attorneys general, and many of their citizens.
