If the House is Rockin' a Texas Insurance Agent is Knockin'

By: Donald Yerke

Texas insurance agents are hotter than tequila and hot sauce. They survive new agent conditions better than agents in any other state.

90,000 agents invading the insurance market should appear similar to hordes of revved up bulls locking horns, fighting over prime grazing turf. The number of life licensed agents exceeds Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, Delaware, Idaho, Rhode Island, and Nebraska combined. Additionally you could toss in Arizona or Colorado insurance agents,. That's no bull.

Only after integrating over 20 data factors, including demographic and financial statistics can a state is measured in a rating versus all other states. The analysis results firmly proclaim that Texas life insurance agents ARE RANKED #3 closely following California and Florida.

Since the focus is highlighting life insurance selling, that 90,000 agent number dwindles down to 60,000 agents when one category of agents is eliminated. Although these insurance producers are licensed to sell life insurance products, they often sell life polices sparingly. And collectively, these insurance companies comprise a small fraction of the life insurance sold. Their massive squad of agents is full of activity concentrating on selling auto, home, and commercial coverage. Just look in the yellow pages, and you will find listings of agent after agent advertising State Farm, Farm Bureau, AAA, Nationwide, Allstate, and similar over captive carriers. Watch television and you are blasted with Geico and Progressive ads. Before removing these agents, Texas has an unusually tiny amount of licensed life agents.

HERE TEXAS HAS A RANKING OF #1

In fact the rate of 2.68 life insurance agents per thousand residents is the lowest in the nation. Some big geographic states like Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas have an agent ratio almost doubling Texas. Now throw a population statistic in to tip the scales in the life agents favor. The population of Texans is exploding, growing by 7.9% just between the years 2000-2004. In the last few years all of these figures have consistently moved upward. For newer agents this means lots of new prospects rarely approached by other agents. Experienced agents have an added bonus. With the state a low percentage of senior citizens there is plenty of room for retirement planning without overheated competition. In turn insurance marketing firms can key in on a sufficient amount of established pros to sell their life products. As a result of this, life insurance brokers have a growing encyclopedia of life insurance companies to write business for.

Insurance marketers and insurance company recruiters concentrating on independent and semi-independent agents have three additional bonuses.

The bonus is agent turnover ratio well below the national average. This provides the ability for more agents to make selling life insurance in Texas a career. Definitely this is a vast improvement over insurance sales being just a temporary job. A second bonus is discovered by reviewing the 60,000 revised net life producer figures explained above and compare it to the fact that 40,000 of these life insurance agents are independent or semi-independent. For marketers and recruiters this produces a positive ratio figure exceeding normal boundaries.

The last fact is one that sure has marketers and those selling products to insurance agents leaping quickly to grab a sure fire opportunity. Nothing to these guys can beat the lack of competition. When their is less demand and more supply, your chances of picking up quality increases. Texas is second to only California in the number of insurance brokers. When it comes to the demand area, Texas drops all the way to 12th in the number of calls and mailers Texas life insurance agents will receive,. If this is your area of marketing, you are smart to act fast. If you do not hesitate, achieving better than expected results are reachable. In another year when your competition wises up, all this can rapidly change. A marketing tip. Keep your attention streamlined toward outside the big city limits. The five largest counties in Texas are hit 2 to 3 times as hard as the 80+ remaining counties. Spend your time, when you can make the most of your sales offerings. That means focusing in on the 80 counties with a whole less residents. You do not pass go until you hit the range of small towns. Target these areas twice, once now, and again 2 months later.

For a life insurance agent, an insurance marketer, or a product seller profitable results are yours.
