The firm champions a proactive approach, prioritizing comprehensive protection and enduring guidance throughout the lifespan of their client relationships.

Challenges

Unclear Strategies

Nora Ellis, the owner, struggled with an undefined sales and recruitment strategy, which hindered the company’s growth and led to inconsistent hiring and customer conversion rates.

Futile Questioning & Closing

The sales team often failed to ask the right questions and mistimed their closing attempts, which led to misalignment with customer expectations and unsuccessful conversions.

Resource Misallocation

Excessive time was spent on unqualified prospects, and the team’s lack of customized sales delivery further complicated their ability to close deals effectively.

Solutions

Comprehensive Sales Training and Coaching

Topaz introduced BE Employer Solutions to the Buyer Facilitator training program through an online Learning Management System (LMS) tailored to insurance sales. This program provided deep insights into buyer psychology and effective relationship management.

Additionally, one-on-one sales coaching sessions with our expert, Jorge, allowed Nora to develop practical, actionable strategies for immediate implementation.

This approach revamped the sales process from initial contact to closing, emphasizing understanding and addressing client needs at each step.

Strategic Sales and Hiring Process Overhaul

To tackle the challenges of hiring and training, Topaz implemented a new sales hiring strategy. This included developing specific tools for better candidate screening and effective onboarding processes to ensure new hires could integrate quickly and efficiently.

The focus was on creating a replicable and scalable system that would bolster both immediate effectiveness and long-term growth.

Client Alignment and Expectation Management

Working closely with Nora and her team, Topaz refined techniques for managing client expectations throughout the sales process. This included setting clear guidelines and obtaining upfront agreements to ensure clarity and mutual understanding, fostering a smoother transaction process, and enhancing client satisfaction.

"The LMS was incredibly helpful and extremely well done-- informative and simple, but really, really effective."
