How a Life Insurance Agent Built a $1M Agency Using Digital Marketing Automation & Funnels | Brian Greenberg
Manage episode 516928220 series 3464962
Brian Greenberg, founder of Quoteplicity and former owner of a seven-figure life insurance agency, reveals the exact digital marketing strategies he used to generate over $1 million in annual premium for 10+ consecutive years—and how he eventually sold the business for a successful exit.
In this episode, Brian breaks down his "Salesman Who Doesn't Sell" philosophy, explaining how he built automated sales funnels that pre-qualified and educated prospects before they ever picked up the phone. Learn how he generated insurance leads for as little as $4-$9 each using Facebook ads, automated follow-up sequences, and quote comparison tools that did 75% of the selling for him.
After selling his agency, Brian took the software and systems he'd developed and created Quoteplicity—a platform that gives insurance agents access to the same tools he used to build his business. Discover how modern insurance agents are using these consumer-facing quoting tools, automated workflows, and CRM integrations to scale their agencies and close 5-10% of their leads.
Whether you're struggling with lead generation, overwhelmed by manual follow-up, or simply want to work smarter instead of harder, this episode is packed with actionable strategies you can implement immediately.
