In the very competitive environment of life insurance sales, blending in is the fastest way to be forgotten. If your presentations, social media posts, and client conversations sound just like everyone else’s, clients will have no reason to choose you over the next advisor who knocks on their door.
The good news? Standing out doesn’t require reinventing the wheel — it just means adding a touch of authenticity, creativity, and strategy to your approach.
Stop Talking in Product Jargon
Why it matters: Terms like “term rider” or “annualized return” are important — but not inspiring. Clients tune out when language gets too technical, too soon.
How to do it: Translate complex terms into life-impact language. Instead of “6% return,” say, “This could help you send your kids to university without debt.” Make your advice relatable to their everyday lives.
"If your grandmother wouldn’t understand your pitch, simplify it."
Share Stories, Not Just Statistics
Why it matters: Numbers inform; stories connect. Clients remember the emotions behind a story far longer than they remember a graph.
How to do it: Share real-life client experiences (with permission or anonymously) to illustrate how your solutions work in the real world. Paint a “before and after” picture that makes the outcome vivid.
"A heartfelt story can do more than a 30-slide presentation."
Bring Value Before You Bring a Proposal
Why it matters: The fastest way to lose trust is to pitch too soon. Clients want to feel understood before they make decisions.
How to do it: In your first meeting, ask more questions than you answer. Offer a financial tip, resource, or insight that helps them today, even if they don’t buy anything yet.
"When you serve first, you sell better."
Show Up Where They Don’t Expect You
Why it matters: Most advisors limit their presence to cold calls, scheduled meetings, and the occasional social media post. If you’re only visible in the same places as everyone else, you’re easy to ignore.
How to do it: Attend community events, give short talks at local businesses, start a podcast, or post simple, helpful videos on social media. Be consistently visible in spaces your competitors overlook.
"When they see you everywhere, they start to trust you everywhere."
Standing out as an advisor isn’t about being louder — it’s about being more you. The more authentic, clear, and value-driven you are, the more clients will see you as the only advisor worth working with.
So, the next time you’re about to deliver a pitch, post online, or meet a new client, ask yourself:
“Will this make me sound like every other advisor — or will it make me unforgettable?”
All the best my friends!!
