In our last article, we discussed why insurance alone is not enough and how Will Writing helps bridge the gap in financial protection. Today, in Part 2 of our series, we will explore how offering Will Writing services can strengthen client trust and retention for insurance agents.
1. Why “Trust” Is the Key to Long-Term Client Relationships
Insurance is a long-term commitment, and clients need to trust their agents to guide them through important financial decisions. However, many clients view insurance agents as sales-driven rather than advice-driven. By offering Will Writing services, agents can demonstrate genuine concern for their clients’ financial well-being beyond just selling policies.
A. Clients Expect More Than Just Insurance
- Today’s clients are financially savvy and look for holistic financial solutions, not just individual products.
- By providing will writing services, agents position themselves as comprehensive financial advisors, strengthening client trust.
B. A Will Completes the Financial Planning Puzzle
- Clients who purchase life insurance want to ensure their loved ones are financially secure after their passing.
- A Will ensures the insurance payout and other assets reach the right people without legal disputes or delays.
- Offering Will Writing services reinforces the agent’s role in helping clients achieve complete financial security.
2. How Will Writing Enhances Client Retention
Client retention is a major challenge in the insurance industry. Many clients switch agents over time due to lack of engagement or better offers from competitors. Offering value-added services like Will Writing can improve retention rates.
A. Deepens Client Relationships
- Engaging clients in legacy planning creates more touchpoints for meaningful conversations beyond just policy renewals.
- Agents become trusted advisors rather than just sales representatives.
- Clients are more likely to stay loyal to an agent who provides additional services beyond standard insurance offerings.
B. Encourages Family Engagement
- Discussing Will Writing often involves the client’s spouse, children, or other family members.
- This gives agents opportunities to offer policies to other family members, strengthening overall retention within the client’s network.
- Clients appreciate agents who help their entire family plan for the future.
C. Differentiates Agents from Competitors
- Most insurance agents focus only on selling policies, but few offer end-to-end financial protection through Will Writing.
- Positioning yourself as a one-stop financial planner makes it harder for clients to switch to another agent.
