Keeping in Contact Without Being Obnoxious

When most people hear that a salesperson wants to keep in touch, it may seem to them like they will never stop being asked to buy something. You can deviate from this by being more of a resource. This can be done several different ways, either alone or in a combination of:

• Newsletters – Having an informative e-newsletter that is less about sales and more about helping your senior population with resources and ideas.
• Social Media – More and more seniors are turning to social media to stay connected with family and friends. Along with those family and friends are organizations trying to get their attention. Make sure those other organizations aren’t causing your leads to forget about you.
• AEP Contacts – Every AEP seniors have an option to change plans and will be solicited to by multimillion-dollar campaigns. However, you can offset these campaigns by having that consistent contact throughout the year and a more personalized or local approach. We have letters in our AEP tool kit that you can download and personalize every AEP. 

Your CRM

How can you keep up with all this? This is where your CRM comes into play. Having great data going into your CRM will allow you to pull great data out of your CRM. Don’t just label your employer or group covered leads as group. Document which group plans they have. If a group plan decides to change coverage or even drop their current retirees, you can quickly pull that info from your CRM and reach out, being proactive to the news.
