*Step 1:
Check the licensing requirements in your state and get licensed. Each state has separate requirements for each line of coverage. Make sure you meet the testing and application requirements for selling auto insurance.
*Step 2:
Consider partnering with an auto insurance carrier such as State Farm, Allstate or another partner. These carriers are trusted names and come with brand recognition.
*Step 3:
Develop a marketing strategy. Use things like billboard advertising and direct mail to reach your potential clients. You may also want to consider hiring a marketing agency to help you.
*Step 4:
Publish a user friendly website. Make sure that your clients have access to a web-based tool to make changes to their policy and can contact you via email. Visit siteforless.com, which develops websites specifically for insurance professionals and can custom design a website for your auto insurance policy holders.
* Step 5:
Make communication a top priority. Consider developing a content-rich e-zine (electronic magazine) that is delivered into your clients’ mailboxes once a month. This will keep your name in front of your clients and will give them some helpful information too.
For automobile insurance the obvious way to get a good rate is do a rate comparison on auto policies. Make sure that you choose similar policies with the same limits, car make, zip code, etc so that all things are an accurate comparison.
What I usually recommend is an internet comparison quote at since they have top name insurers and can give several prices on auto insurance polices.
I recommend you find a nearby car insurance agent to assist you. Since I live in North Carolina I can’t suggest an agent in Alabama, but here is an online resource that can help you.
