Networking is important because it allows people to form relationships and connections with others in their industry, which can lead to opportunities for professional advancement, job advancement, and increased collaboration.  Adding to your connections will enhance your ability to grow your brand.

Ways to Network to Grow your Business

There are several ways to network, including:

• Attending networking events: Conferences, trade shows, and industry events are excellent places to meet new people and form new relationships.
• Online socializing: Social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook can be used to network with others in your field.
• Professional associations: Joining professional organizations in your industry can help you meet new people and participate in events and activities.
• Cold outreach: Emailing or calling people you want to connect with can be an effective way to build relationships and expand your network.
• Requesting introductions to others in your field from friends, family, and colleagues can help you connect with people you might not have met otherwise.

Social Media Networking

Creating an internet presence is important to stay competitive in the insurance industry and does not have to have upfront costs. Using well-known social media platforms like Facebook, Google Business, or LinkedIn is free to use and can increase your footprint tremendously.

Google Business opens the door for clients to leave reviews, post hours of operations, links to your website and so much more. Facebook is a platform that more and more seniors are using as technology is becoming a part of aging into Medicare. Posting on Facebook groups or pages can help create some extra foot traffic to your website or office simply by marketing to the neighborhood markets as their friendly and local Medicare agent. LinkedIn is a business platform that allows agents to promote themselves as well as create a network of other agents and agencies in the area. This can be helpful to study business strategies and tactics that are working in the market.

In-person Networking

Though internet presence is important, continuing to make an in-person presence is helpful as well. Attending networking events with carrier reps and other agents, like Pinnacle’s Cocktails and Connections event, can open doors for new opportunities. Engaging with the community and being a resource located right in the neighborhood is a great way to produce organic leads.
