If you look at one of the great backwaters of the selling profession, it has to be the insurance industry.

It hasn’t altered its recruiting and training practices for a century, and it is unlikely to do so anytime soon, because its very product is risk aversion.

Insurance, as everyone knows, is about pooling risk. Actuaries work long and hard to determine how many claims will be filed during a given period, and then they adjust rates to reflect those risks and to garner a certain profit.

When it comes to recruiting new agents, actuarial thinking also comes into play.

Knowing that a certain percentage will wash out, insurance executives do what they can to minimize the costs of these “accidents,” these “claims” against profits, if you will.

So, they shift the cost of failure to the trainees themselves by offering straight commission positions or the tiniest subsidies they can get away with offering.

Selling Advertising for Aviation Publications

IT Marketing: Rewarding Referrals

But the training only costs about $300- $500!

How many recruits do they discourage from ever signing on because of this stinginess? It’s hard to tell, but definitely some.

Insurance companies are notoriously weak when it comes to recruiting successful salespeople from other fields, because they believe, without substantiation, that insurance selling is unique, and that success in other fields is not transferable.

So, they won’t pay a top earner from, say, a mortgage brokerage business to move into insurance. That person will have to do exactly the same things at the same rates of pay as complete novices, a decade or more their junior.

The inbreeding in the insurance field is not an embarrassment, as it should be, but is underscored as a strength.

Many firms, however, have not focused their audits and reviews, resulting in inconsistent protocols and inconsistently applied project management standards. This article provides some guidance on the development of those protocols, and the areas to focus during these reviews.
