Dear Insurance Advisor,

In this report, you're going to learn a powerful strategy that myself and hundreds of insurance advisors

have used to get massive leverage on one of the most popular social networks for business

professionals: LinkedIn.

In fact, after using this step-by-step strategy, one agent sent me this:

First, Let’s Set the Record Straight About LinkedIn

Most advisors think LinkedIn is kind of a dusty social network, right?

Maybe you put your profile up there several years ago… and every now and then somebody connects

with you… but you really haven't done anything with it.

It could be your photo is a little bit outdated and all you really use a LinkedIn for is simply to connect

with people almost like a second Rolodex.

Despite What You Might Think, LinkedIn Has Been One of

THE Most Powerful Social Networks for Insurance Advisors

And in this report, you're going to learn a powerful system on how you can use predictable steps to

get leads to come into you EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.

I'm going to show you the step-by-step framework, exactly what to say, and exactly what to do.

By the way, if you’re on LinkedIn, feel free to connect with me here and give me a +1 if you found

this report useful

This Framework Is Worth – On the Low End - $96,000

If You Just Do It Consistently For Just 20 Minutes a Day

In July 2013 Fortune did a front cover story on LinkedIn and how it’s ‘Change the Face of Business’.

No wonder, check out these stats:

Every 2 seconds, there’s a new person joining LinkedIn… Source: LinkedIn

Forty percent of people on LinkedIn check it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY… Source: Media Bistro

There are two hundred conversations going on via LinkedIn every MINUTE… Source: Mashable

Eight thousand NEW groups are created every week… Source: Mashable

On top of this, LinkedIn users are generally wealthier (39% make over 100k), have more education (74% have at least a college education) and are more mature (68% are over the age of 35).

The easy LinkedIn prospecting formula that

made a commercial lines producer $8,000 for 20 minutes of work

LinkedIn doesn’t have to be complicated. I shared the following strategy with a commercial lines producer that was skeptical of my approach. (Aren’t they all at first ;)

But he decided to give it a try, and was able to set up 3 appointments that netted him $8000-10,000 in commissions for less than 20 minutes of work.

Here’s how he did it, and you can to.

Use My Stealth LinkedIn LeverageTM Prospecting Formula

to Build Your Lead Funnel Today

Step 1: Do a search for a group of your target market clients i.e. Construction, accounting, software companies, universities, small business owners, investors, act. And your state.




5

Step 2: Join the group of your target market clients.

Step 3: Once you’re in, click on the ‘Members’ link on the group home page

Now you’ll see ALL the members in this group.




6

Step 4: Send a personalized messages to 20 people in that group that gives value, like a link to your YouTube videos or a handy report you’ve written. Use the ‘Send message’ feature under the ‘Members’ link in every group.

Here’s a sample message:

Hi Lisa, I noticed we’re both part of the HR Professionals group. I help HR experts navigate the complexities of Obamacare and what it means for their staff, profits and benefits. I’ve produced a short report that gives you the ‘Top 10 Things HR Managers NEED to Know About Obamacare’. If you’re interested, just email me back and I’ll send it along.

Step 5: Set up appointments with those that reply

All of this can be done with a free account.

Here’s The Framework for You to Duplicate




7

How to Model This Framework for a

Predictable 240 New, Exclusive Leads Per Year

The key to this strategy is to find the right message, test it and once you have winner, outsource it to someone who can do it for you.

Do the math:

If you send out 20 a day, this could generate…

10 new connections per day… OR 50 per week… OR two hundred per month.

If you’re terrible at this, and you only get ONE new lead a day, that’s five new leads a week.

OR twenty new leads a month… OR 240 new leads a year.

The average price for an exclusive lead these days ranges from $20 to $300 per lead

If you take the free leads you’d be getting from LinkedIn, that’s over $7,000 in FREE, exclusive leads every year.

Here’s some Bar Napkin Math That Shows How You

Can Translate This into A $98,000 Cash Boosting Raise This Year

The average agent can close two out of ten cold market leads.

Using our previous numbers, that’s 48 new sales a year… OR four new sales a month.

If you’re making a low end first year commission of $2000 per sale, that’s an extra $8,000 per month.

Note: If you’re in the commercial lines, life or annuity market, you can multiply this significantly.

An extra $8,000 per month is $96,000 at the end of the year. All profit.

Yes. ALL of these strategies WORK, and you make money with them now…

BUT if you don’t start thinking STRATEGICALLY about your agency,

you’ll die a slow and painful death into mediocrity and insignificance

I’ll Let You in on My Story, Because I Have a

Feeling I Used to Be A Lot like You Are Now.

I used to be one of those people, like the vast majority of the business world, who would jump from tactic to tactic…

Trying to seek out any kind of magic fix that might have the power to turn around a struggling agency. All my life I have had a hard time developing systems and strategies.




8

Safe to Say, the Odds Were Against Me

I had NO idea how to code a website… in fact I still don’t.

There were no social networks I was using to generate leads… because there WEREN’T any! The only was Myspace and only teenagers hung out there.

Doing anything online other than email was downright intimidating.

To Add Insult to Injury, I Had a Love Affair

with ‘Bright Shiny Objects’

I followed one bright shiny thing for as long as it worked and then moving onto the next possible fix.

I always thought that strategy was some highly complicated phenomenon that came down from executives on high.

I felt that the actual development of a strategy would be completely inaccessible to a regular person like me. The fact is, I wasn’t far from the truth.

There aren’t a lot of people in this day and age that profess to know how to develop strategy. And I’ve found that even people who talk about strategy don’t actually know how to develop one.

Strategy development has become this kind of remote, impossible art that barely anyone can reach.

Going From Tactician to Strategic Insurance

Marketing Thinker – The 15X Multiplier Breakthrough

The way I came to develop the wisdom I will share with you in this report is that, after jumping from tactic to tactic for so long, I learned how LITTLE the tactics were serving me, and I started to figure out the importance of having a market STRATEGY that positions you as a preemptive authority in the field.

I began to learn this vital piece of information after the first major success I had in my professional life. This success came in the form of an insurance vendor that went on to become one of the largest agencies in the country, with over 700 advisors.

The company was a startup that soon became an Inc. 500 company, and ended up becoming the one of the fastest growing companies in the United States (Top 17 in its category to be exact)...

We saw an alarming and wildly successful 1,503 percent growth in just three years… and just two years ago they raised $50 Million.

One of the fastest growing divisions of the company generated internet leads… lots of them. We got so good at it that we were generating 250,000 every single MONTH! That’s 5.7 insurance leads every single second of every single day – including weekends!

At the time, I was not entirely clear on why my company was having this level of success, but now when I look back, I realize that I was pulling a strategy together for the first time in my business career.




9

It Was Only After Stepping Back From The Success

To Look Closely Did I See The ‘Aha!’ Moment

After the fog of the success cleared and I was able to take a good hard look at what I had accomplished with this company, I was able put words to what I had done.

I took what I had done, and duplicated the strategy with another company in the insurance space.

With that new company, we doubled sales in less than eleven months. Through jumping from tactic to tactic I had somehow formed a strategy, and finally I was able to put all of those small tactics together into a strategy.

Looking back, had I had this strategic roadmap before, I could have grown them much faster, even though each CEO was wildly thrilled with the results.

As I started to work on my new strategic approach at my first company, one of the major changes that I made was shifting the company’s focus from marketing based on PROMOTION to marketing based on EDUCATION AND GIVING VALUE UP FRONT.

That was a key strategic shift that I almost didn’t realize I was making. Looking back, however, I have to say that marketing based on education was the best success I have ever had, and one of the key decisions I made in my career.

If You Can Adopt the Mindset of Being a Strategic Insurance Marketer,

You’ll Literally Be Able to Write Your Own Ticket in the Insurance Industry

It’s not really my style to brag… in fact I find it embarrassing.

But to help you see that this WORKS, you should know that in my ten-year career working in insurance, my systems have…

….generated over 101,256 leads personally

….generated millions of leads as a team

….ALL in insurance.

I’ve had the privilege of

….designing and executing over 512 different marketing tests

...training and helping over one hundred thousand advisors and clients

….authoring some of the most dynamic and widely circulated white papers, articles, seminars, keynotes, live events, and virtual events on multiple digital platforms.

My body of work has been featured in the most notable insurance publications, including…

...Insurance NewsNet

...National Underwriter

...Broker World




10

...Health Insurance Underwriter

...Leader’s Edge

...Insurance Underwriter

I’ve been honored to receive twenty three different awards for insurance marketing from groups like the Web Awards, Direct Marketing News, Health Insurance Underwriter, Marketing Sherpa and the American In-House Design Awards.

Even more rewarding than that, I have created 136 million dollars of revenue for my insurance clients and advisors I have helped. In one case I tripled sales within ninety days, and in another case I was able to double sales in fifty-six days with a single sales letter. I have created brand new revenue streams where there were none before.

All Of This Is Not To Impress You… But To Impress UPON You

That When You Know What Your Strategy Is, Everything Falls Into Place.

Oh, and by the way, 95% of this success was created using digital marketing.

The fact is that forming a strategy took so long to figure out that I don’t want other insurance marketers to have to suffer and put in so much effort.

Welcome to a new way of getting the strategic guidance you need –

11

With this letter, I invite you to join the insurance elite of this country as for a complimentary “Strategic

Breakthrough Action Session” with us…

• To save yourself or your agency an immediate and impressive $797 an hour of consulting

• And to receive free with our compliments some clarifying insights you’ll be able to use in your

agency immediately

First, Let Me Tell You Some Of The Reasons That I Personally Started These

Intimate One-On-One Calls And Why I Find Them So Helpful For Agency

Owners -- And Why I Think You Will Too.

I’ve decided to invest in you for two reasons:

1) Every call we have with a thoughtful advisor that is thinking - sometimes even obsessed - with growth, our

team comes back with new distinctions, frameworks and concepts we can use to help others. The resulting

‘mind melding’ interchange is incredibly stimulating for both of us

2) This industry has been incredibly good to my family and I and I’m a big believer in giving back. These calls

give me the opportunity to do just that.

It can help keep you better-informed all-around. It can help keep you from making mistakes. It can help give

you more confidence, more assurance, more savvy...

... And it can take an awful lot of the worry out of your working hours. I know. I was once in your boat.

Worry About All the Up-And-Comers?

Nobody helps you keep tabs on other people as candidly as my team and I. You learn what the competition is

up to. What your counterparts in other companies are doing. The people to stay away from. You get to know

who may be gaining on you.

Worry About Falling Behind?

Never before has it been so exciting to be in the insurance game. Look around you. New challenges. New

ideas. New breakthroughs. New solutions. New markets. New opportunities. New opportunities for the

people who work for you. New opportunities for you.





12

This Mind-Expanding, Exploratory Call Gives You

a Manageable Way of Think about Your Future

and Make YOUR Personal Breakthrough

Not just the where you are now, but wherever things go on that concern you. In marketing. The online tools

to use today. The tools that don’t work anymore. The training programs that will waste your money.

The boardrooms. The think tanks. The online world. The media. The marketplace. Whenever and wherever

in the world there's someone talking about marketing and selling insurance.

Worry about Whether You're Doing As Right

As You Could by Your Family?

This call is not only your professional counsel -- but your personal mentor as well. Is now a good time to

launch into a strategic alliance -- or to try to go it alone first in a marketing campaign? In LinkedIn? In Video

marketing? In Direct mail? In content marketing? In live events? In what?

What new advances in insurance should you be aware of – marketing, strategic thinking, sales? How can you

best the search engines at their own game?

Worry About Your Time?

You should. From birth to retirement, each of us has only 35 million minutes in which to do it all. To learn.

To grow. To make it. It's my honest feeling that this “Strategic Breakthrough Action Session” can assist the

process measurably.

It can help you learn. It can help you grow. It can help you make it bigger and better than you've ever

dreamed. And it doesn't take that much out of you:

Just 60-90 minutes of your time depending on your level of engagement. That’s it.

You'll have The Answers to Almost Everything:

Where am I at in my agency? Where can I go? What’s possible? What’s the ‘next big thing’ for me? And what

it all means to you. To your continuing success in the insurance industry and your company. To achieving





13

your goals -- professionals and personal. To your happiness -- and that of your family. Like me, you've

probably worked hard to give them the lifestyle they now enjoy.

Isn't It Worth The Time?

There’s Nothing More Valuable You Could Be Doing with an Hour of Your Time

Considering That One Idea Could Generate THOUSANDS Of Leads for You.

Apply now to schedule yours

As you may or may not know, I don’t offer these calls to just anyone. No "special offers." Company policy.

But you’ve taken the time to review this entire document – which I purposely made intensive and illustrative

so that the tactical mediocrites would be repulsed and look elsewhere.

I’m looking for Thoughtful and Purposeful Insurance Professionals

Who Are Ready to Take Their Agencies to the Next Level of Pre-Eminence,

Success and Wealth – With No Apologies for Thinking Big.

You’ll undergo a transformational conversation that will walk you through your current state, where you want

to go and how to get there.

The Breakthroughs You’ll Have from the

Experience Are worth the Price of Admission.

So if you're waiting for a better offer, be forewarned -- this is it. And because you do save quite a sizable

amount of money over our regular $797 per hour consulting fee, our best offer is really quite generous:
