Unlock the Insurance Agent’s New Super Power to Sales Growth

SEO Crash Course

Automate, Digitize, and Modernize –
Unlock the Insurance Agent’s New Super Power to Sales Growth

Insurance agents today must choose to walk through one of two doors:
  • Behind door #1: The crushing force of Insurtech, armed with billions of dollars and eagerly waiting to steal away your clients.
  • Behind door #2: The world of modernization, where you gain new superpowers that let you reach more clients, help more people, and make more sales… all without adding to your already busy day.

We know which door you should choose. It’s going to take a little work, but it will be very worth it.

To guide you to success, We have partnered with AgentMethods to bring you a four-part webinar masterclass on modernizing your insurance sales. In the webinar, you’ll learn:
  • The single marketing tactic agents are using to increase their sales success by 70%
  • How to reduce your marketing work by 47%, while getting better results
  • A set-it-and-forget-it formula to increase referrals by 60%

We want to make sure you’re able to put the information to work right away, so we’re breaking the content down into four parts.

What search engines look for when ranking sites

SEO Crash Course

Every agent dreams of having search engines deliver a steady stream of new prospects to their website. Launch a website and head to the beach while leads come pouring in.

Yes, this DOES happen!

But for most agents, this simply isn’t the reality.

Here’s what you need to know:

Getting ranked by search engines does not happen by accident.

To get search engines to deliver customers to you, you need to know how to make it happen, be ready to do the work, and (maybe most importantly) understand what to expect.

If you are interested in getting more leads from your website, or just thinking about ways to launch or improve your online presence, our upcoming free webcast is for you. It may be just the boost you need to see new, qualified leads magically land in your lap.

To clear up all of the SEO myths and dreams, and to give you a plan of action, we’re bringing in our insurance website partner, AgentMethods, to present the webcast “An Insurance Agent’s Crash Course on SEO – Dreams and Reality”.

During our time together, you will learn…

Webcast: An Insurance Agent’s Crash Course on SEO

Thursday, March 10th | 2:00PM – 3:00PM EST

You will also walk away with an executable game plan you can use right away to begin improving your website’s SEO and start generating new leads.

Expanded Client Resources from FallonHealth

, , , , ,

FallonClientRescource-Update

Keeping Your Clients Healthy

How your Medicare clients can access expanded services

These are trying times, but Fallon Health can help your clients receive resources they need to stay healthy from the safety of their own home.

With Fallon Medicare Plus™ plans, your clients have tools to help them mitigate various health-related challenges they may encounter. Also, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Fallon has expanded the amount of qualifying services available to your clients.

Without leaving home, your clients can access…
  • Telehealth. While Massachusetts is under a state of emergency, your clients can call their doctor to setup a telehealth visit. This service is typically available by live video; some physicians may offer online and telephone services as well. Your clients will pay $0 for additional telehealth services for COVID-19-related health issues such as home health services, behavioral health counseling, substance use disorder counseling for the treatment of drug and/or alcohol addictions as well as virtual doctor visits.
  • If your clients’ doctors are not available via telehealth, they can call Nurse Connect – 24/7 access to registered nurses by phone at 1-800-609-6175 (TDD/TTY: 1-800-848-0160), or if they are Medicare Advantage members, can use Teladoc.
  • Teladoc®. This is a telehealth service available 24/7 for non-emergent issues such as cold and flu symptoms, sinus infections and more for Medicare Advantage members only. Members can receive advice or treatment from doctors, via phone, video or online. Your clients will need to register first. Have them call 1-800-TELADOC (835-2362) or visit teladoc.com/fallon to get started.
  • Early prescription refills. Your clients may be able to fill their prescriptions earlier than their usual 30-day or 90-day supply at an in-network pharmacy. Have your clients speak to their pharmacy for more information, and see if home delivery of prescription supplies is an option.
  • SilverSneakers® .* Clients will be able to access an online library of classes, workouts and instructional videos at SilverSneakers.com, as well as download the free SilverSneakers GO™ app from iOS or Android with exercise programs for all fitness levels

All of your clients can also access Healthwise Knowledgebase – Fallon’s online catalog health encyclopedia on a variety of health topics – by visiting fallonhealth.org/medicare, clicking on “Extra and discounts” and selecting the Healthwise Knowledgebase link or accessing directly here.
