Bringing in Post-Pandemic Business

3. Discuss retirement with clients.

You have clients in their 50s. The pandemic has reminded people of their own mortality. Some might be thinking, “What am I waiting for?” Find some clients who are thinking of taking early retirement. Revisit their financial plans. Id this practical? Can you help make their dream come true.

4. Review insurance coverage.

Yes, the pandemic has gotten us thinking we might not live forever. Do clients and prospects feel they have sufficient insurance coverage? This also applies to property, since wildfires and hurricanes are in the news. Bringing this up with clients shows you are paying attention.

5. Buy a practice.

You are in this business for the long haul. You intend to succeed. Earlier in this article, I talked about discussing retirement with clients. There might be another agent across town who is having those same thoughts about early retirement. Their own. Keep an ear to the ground. Can you buy their practice and enable them to gradually phase out over time as their clients are resettled as your clients? This will cost money, but you will be growing your practice.

There’s plenty you can do driving business is the post pandemic environment.
