Social Media for Life Insurance Agents: Beneficial or Harmful?

    



We welcome you to the Jeevan Bima Bazaar! If you are a Life Insurance Agent, then surely the question must have arisen in your mind that whether you should use Social Media for your business or not? Is Social Media really beneficial for Life Insurance Agents or do agents who use it suffer?


So in today's article, we are trying to answer all these questions in detail. Let us take a look at some examples and their consequences on whether or not you should use Social Media for Your Life Insurance Business.






Social Media provides Life Insurance Agents with an opportunity to expand their Business, build trust with customers, and attract New Customers. However, Life Insurance Agents should use it with caution and understanding, as working here can be full of challenges.


This article will make you aware of the major advantages and disadvantages of social media, so that you are ready to take a right decision.


Social Media and Life Insurance: Challenging

It is very important to maintain balance in every area of life. Be it the subject of food or your health or your lifestyle. It is very important to have balance everywhere. If the balance deteriorates in any area of life, then it directly affects the whole life of a human being.


Similarly, maintaining a balance is very important for Social Media as well. So now the question might be arising in your mind that what is meant by balance for Social Media?


Friends, a Life Insurance Agent can be really successful only when he works in the field. If you remain active on Social Media or give information about Life Insurance through email, youtube videos etc. So just by doing this you cannot be successful.


Consider as a Life Insurance Agent, you can use any Social Media Platform to satisfy a New Customer by giving them Insurance policy information. Even if that customer is ready to buy an Insurance policy. So will you be able to make a successful sale just by doing this?


Mind you, I'm not talking about someone you know here, but a new customer you've never met before. You have been introduced to that new customer for the first time through Social Media.


To sell Insurance to such a customer, you have to reach out to that customer. So if you want to do Insurance business only through Social Media, then it can be quite a challenge for you.


Whereas in comparison, meeting people directly and preparing them for selling Insurance plans proves to be relatively easier and more profitable.


Benefits of Social Media for Life Insurance Agents:

A Life Insurance Agent can use Social Media for the promotion of his business. But, a Life Insurance Agent cannot be successful just by using Social Media or any other Digital Platform.


With the help of Social Media, New Customers can be reached. You can reach new people through Social Media like Facebook, Linked-in, Twitter, Instagram etc. You can create your professional image in their mind through your articles, videos etc.






Through Social Media, you can start your professional conversation by talking to new people laughingly. You can find their contact details. After this, you can make business relations with them.


When using Social Media for this purpose, the Life Insurance Agent comes in contact with a new customer. The Agent can then contact this new customer at their business location or residence.


In this way he can prepare for selling Insurance policy to a new customer obtained from Social Media. An Agent acting in this way may also try to sell Insurance policies to friends, acquaintances and other people of that new customer obtained through Social Media.

What to do on Social Media for Insurance Business:

Conclusion:

The use of Social Media is beneficial for Life Insurance Business, but a Life Insurance Agent should keep in mind that while using Social Media, he has to use it to reach out to new customers.
