Why Referrals Are So Important for Insurance Agents

There are a lot of options available when it comes to choosing insurance. An individual may even have different insurance agents for different kinds of insurance they may have. The goal for any agent is to get as many accounts from current clients and to attract new clients to their agency. Referrals are a highly effective way to draw in those potential clients to your insurance agency! Our reputation management platform is here to help by point out WHY referrals are so important now how BlueJay Reviews can make it easy to implement an effective referral strategy!

Importance of Referrals:

Customer referrals are low-cost 
Unlike Google ads or Facebook ads, customer referrals, when done correctly, are inexpensive. 

Customer referrals lead to more trust 
When a potential customer comes to your business, they’ll be more likely to trust you. After all, they know their friend or family member had a positive experience.

Once your business’s referral engine is working smoothly, it can lead to more and more growth. Customers who come in through referrals can, in turn, give you more referrals.
