Want to increase your umbrella insurance sales? Here are three actionable strategies you can implement immediately:

1. Prioritize Umbrella Insurance on Your Website Quote Request Form:

  • Make it visible: Ensure umbrella insurance is among the top five lines of business listed on your quote request form.
  • Why it works:
    • It puts umbrella coverage top-of-mind for prospects already considering it, facilitating easy cross-selling.
    • It familiarizes them with the term “umbrella insurance,” making your subsequent discussions more effective.
  • Action: Review your online quote form and ensure umbrella insurance has a prominent position.

2. Conduct a Liability Risk Calculation:

  • Guide your prospects: Walk them through an estimated liability risk calculation.
  • Benefits:
    • It helps you accurately assess their liability needs.
    • It empowers your prospects to understand their own risk exposure.
  • Action: Incorporate a liability risk assessment into your quoting process.

3. Integrate Liability Assessment into Existing Quotes

(Without Directly Mentioning “Umbrella”):

  • Don’t lead with “umbrella”: If a prospect requests a home or auto quote and doesn’t explicitly mention umbrella insurance, avoid asking, “Are you interested in an umbrella quote?”
  • Focus on liability: Instead, seamlessly integrate a liability assessment into the existing quote process.
  • Example: “Let’s review the liability coverage within your home insurance policy to ensure you’re adequately protected.”
  • Why it’s effective:
    • It avoids immediate objections and keeps the conversation focused on their initial request.
    • It provides the necessary information to present an appropriate umbrella quote based on their actual needs.
  • Action: Refine your sales approach to incorporate liability assessments into all standard quotes.
