The insurance agent designations are not noted by rank. This is because a specialist working the senior market might think his insurance designation more important than one selling life insurance. And of course the opposite is very likely. In additional, some designations require very extensive and intense learning to obtain.

Thanks to the continuing education requirements of state insurance department licensing. Continuing Education has become a major incentive for an agent to obtain an insurance designation. Agents must obtain additional Continuing Education credit points or study hours to renew their license. They can take online study courses, attend qualified insurance seminars, or work toward receiving one of the multi-phase insurance designations.

An important sideline of the required ongoing further insurance education applies to agent retention. The industry agent retention rate of agents 4 through 10 years, has improved significantly because of agents obtaining insurance designations. These insurance designations and better retention rate can be directly contributed to the continuing educational requirements to make agents more professional.

These are the certification explanations of related insurance designations. Each certification process for obtaining insurance designations differ, as far as requirements that must be achieved. Some insurance designations may not even be started, until prior experience, of either study or of even other certification is obtained first. Here we will try to provide additional meaning to the insurance designations, as far as to how many may have obtained that certification, course requirements, or notable changes to their income.

You can be an agent with one of the prominent insurance designations and sit on your butt and do nothing. Or it is possible that you obtained one of the insurance designations, and three months later, due to lack of selling skills or prospecting leads was forced to drop out of the profession. Therefore two analyzes tend to hold true. First, insurance designations by themselves do not provide a higher income or professional longevity. Secondly applying the certification skills obtained ambitiously helps agents with insurance designations obtain creditability and knowledge. This in turn, leads to a longer lasting and higher income level.

Insurance Designation of CLU, Chartered Life Underwriter. This is universally the recognized professional advisor certification given in the insurance industry. The study field consists of 8 college level examinations. The 5 required and 3 elective courses including estate planning and pensions, taxation and economics, life and health insurance, along with taxation and income replacement. The American College, is not a dormitory or full time style daily college, but since 1927 is devoted to providing educational certification. The American College currently provides CE studies in at least 8 areas beneficial to the insurance professional. Additional continuing education, experience, and ethics are required to maintain CLU certification. Qver 90,000 agents (included those retired), have achieved the CLU insurance designation. Although we can’t give an exact figure, our internal analysis shows the, income earnings of an insurance professional CLU to be 25% to 35% higher than an agent with out any form of insurance certification.

Insurance Designation of LUTC or LUTCF. 80% of agents earning this certification use the letters LUFC, while the remainder use LUTCF. This is probably the easiest, and first insurance designation most life insurance agents earn. Given in classroom setting, it includes role-playing self-study, and examinations. The required 300 designation credits covers a very broad spectrum of life and financial areas. Many of the over 60,000 LUTCFs obtain their insurance designation within their first 4 years of insurance experience. Although not a significant income increasing factor, LUTCFs have about 35% less career dropout than other agents in their same experience category.

Insurance Designation of FSS. This rather new degree is the Financial Services Specialist. It is often referred to as the financial services counterpart to the life service LUTCF certification. Courses are provided in a classroom format, and consist of 6 total courses with 3 of them being required and a choice of 3 elective courses. Here the emphasis is on financial and estate retirement planning, along with the products and investments used to service their clients. Like many of the insurance designations, retaining certification requires periodically completing ethic seminars.

Insurance Designation of FIC. A Fraternal Insurance Counselor usually represents a Fraternal Insurance Company. The Fraternal Insurance Company is dedicated to the welfare of its members, with the members often having a common work-related, social, or religious bond. The members are required to buy life insurance “certificates”, instead of policies. Meetings and social events reach out to members in need. Many FIC designated agents have already completed LUTCF qualifications and course cover estate planning, and sophisticated financial plans. Some consider the FIC designation as important as the CLU. Financially, our analysis of agent income, shows an agent with FIC certification to have significantly higher income that an agent with the same time experience and no designation. However this income earning tends to be less than a similar CLU.

Insurance Designation of RHU. The Registered Health Underwriter is not the CLU of Health Insurance. An RHU but is a highly trained and respected specialist in the health insurance market. The three required courses the must be successfully completed cover disability income replacement, individual and group health and medical coverage, and long term care insurance. With an exploding population of senior citizens, the long term care insurance market is in dire need of ethical and knowledgeable professionals. Rapidly increasing medical costs require that HSA, Health Savings Accounts, and Worksite Benefit Plans have qualified representatives to help individuals and groups. The RHU is required to complete at least 30 CE hours every couple years. There are over 6,000 RHUs, who have become the knowledge and income leaders in their area.

Insurance Designation of CSA. This certification, Certified Senior Advisor, was relatively unknown until recently. It is very unique, as the focus is not on product knowledge. Instead it builds communication skills, so that both the agent and client understand the financial, health, and social impacts of senior age. Intense training is in senior health, financial, and effects of Social Security. The CSA training has three options: classroom style, self study, or online. The total certification process includes high emphasis on ethics, and the normal time period to complete is 6 months. While we will get arguments here, the insurance agent has 3 key initial directions and courses to start with. The is LUTCF for life, FSS for financial, and CSA for seniors. Expect to seem a big boom in Certified Senior Advisors.

Insurance Designation of CLTC. Certified in Long Term Care is becoming well known. This is one of the fastest growing certifications that we have seen, and there is a reason. The training is not just beneficial to the senior health specialist, but just as important, if not more to the senior market financial specialist Therefore there are many CLUs and RHUs currently expanded their senior market knowledge but advancing toward CLTC certification. Not only do courses focus on selling long term care insurance, it covers governmental programs in effect, home care needs, and financial planning. It requires completing an eight part course and more. In additional, to uphold the high standards, a CLTC must go through a renewal every two years.

Frequent Insurance Designations include: CLU as a Chartered Life Underwriter, ChFC as a Chartered Financial Consultant, LUTCF as a LUTC Fellow Designation, RFP as a Registered Financial Planner, RHU as a Registered Health Underwriter, FIC as a Fraternal Insurance Counselor. Other common related insurance Designations are: CSA as a Certified Senior Advisor, CIC as a Chartered Investment Advisor, FSS as a Financial Services Specialist, and CPC as Certified Pension Consultant.

The insurance designation CLTC as Certified in Long Term Care is increasing in numbers exceptionally fast. This rising amount of designations also apply elsewhere. CEBS is a Certified Employee Benefit Specialist, REBC is a Registered Employee Benefits Consultant, CIC is a Chartered Investment Counselor, AEP is an Accredited Estate Planner, CSS is a Certified Senior Specialist, CPA is a Certified Public Accountant, and RIA is a Registered Investment Advisor. Although the later is not really an insurance designation.

Lesser known financial and insurance designations follow. CAA is a Certified Annuity Advisor, RFC is a Registered Financial Consultant, LIFA is a Licensed Insurance Financial Analyst, CEP is a Certified Estate Planner, AFC is a Accredited Financial Counselor, CFA is a Chartered Financial Analyst, MSFS is a Masters of Science in Financial Service, FLMI is a Fellow Life Management Institute designation, CPC is a Certified Pension Consultant, CAC is Certified Annuity Consultant, RFG is a Registered Financial Gerontologist, FFSI is a Fellow Financial Services Institute designation and CRP is a Certified Risk Professional.

Every business is engaged in selling something, whether a product, service, information, or something else. And sales usually begin with sales leads. As an offline example, new insurance and car sales people are frequently asked to compile lists of their friends, families, acquaintances, and so on. This list is used then as a lead builder – something to get the ball rolling towards that first big sale. The online world is no different. Every for-profit web site needs a steady flow of internet marketing leads. A big part of any online marketer*s job is to generate the leads that will ultimately be responsible for another sale. In particular, in the highly competitive online marketing arena, someone selling products and services to other marketers will need a steady flow of fresh internet marketing leads to fuel their sales.

Selling to internet marketers is a tough market segment to compete in. New products and services are released at an amazing rate. These new products and services are sometimes driven by new technology, other times by changes in market conditions or search engines, and still others are variations of existing products. Some of these products are themselves designed to help capture internet marketing leads!

There are several basic ways to capture new leads online. The most commonly recommended method is to build an email list. There*s an old direct marketing axiom *The money is in the list*, and this has held true on the internet as well. Email marketing may not work as well as it used to, due to spam filtering, but that*s not to say it*s not effective. After all, other than your time, it*s free to send, and response rates for email that does reach the intended recipients have remained steady. The theory of this type of internet marketing leads generation is that an email list works as the first part of a funnel system, whereby subscribers get some incentive to sign up for the list. It may be a free product, program, or report, or some other incentive that will then *funnel* responsive customers to your main products and services.

Other common lead generation techniques include using pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, adding information about a site, product, or service to an email signature file, and posting and answering questions on marketing related forums. Just think, for someone selling to other marketers, what better free way is there to generate internet marketing leads than posting in forums where other marketers *hang out*?

Whatever the lead generation techniques a marketer uses, the most important thing to remember about finding internet marketing leads is this: to be effective, they must be targeted. This means that the leads you generate must be generally interested in the product or service you offer. For an extreme example, it probably wouldn*t make sense to try to generate leads for a knitting product on a site that is football-related. The target audience of a football site isn*t generally going to be interested in knitting products.

As you begin to build your marketing-related web business, be sure to plan a good internet marketing lead strategy from the outset. It shouldn*t be an afterthought that you*ll take care of someday – Give it a lot of consideration early on.

Digital marketing is a fast growing and fast moving industry. It is the advertising and promotion of any business through digital media channels. This includes, websites, social media and mobile and any other online marketing done can be considered as digital marketing. To be successful with digital marketing, you must understand your audience and put together a clear message to them about what you are selling and offering them – remember you have to stand out from what your competitors are doing!

With the ever growing demand and growth of the internet, digital media is being driven by marketing agencies and consumers. For businesses, digital marketing can often be less expensive than traditional marketing methods such as print and direct mail as having a web presence by the use of social media and email marketing can be low cost. This is often done by an agency as they generally are specialists in the digital marketing side of things and can often do it as a less cost than if you tried to do it yourself.

No matter what size your business is digital marketing can really work for you and become the most effective way of generating revenue but you have to be sure to invest your money wisely and the first thing to do is have a good website that represents your company’s brand and constantly update the content on your site as this helps with the search engine rankings. Once your website has been launched, it is vital to get your name out there on the search engines. This can include using Google pay per click as this helps you get your brand out there straight away and gets people visiting your site almost immediately. Also, setting up social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin help due to their enormous audience. The benefits of digital marketing are listed below:

- The ability to get your brand/company recognised to a huge audience of people over a short period of time using Google PPC.

- Can connect with millions of users across the internet.

- If done well, can offer high conversion rates (if your website is ecommerce).

- Your website is accessible 24/7 on the internet.

- It is quick and easy to implement changes to your website.

- Any sales, visits etc can be tracked online.

At a time where generating revenue is at it’s toughest, businesses need to understand how to exploit digital marketing as it is a means of improving service to your customers, driving down costs and hopefully making money! Really, there are no other services which can be compared to digital marketing services.

Why are small businesses such a powerhouse in the economy?

One of the ingredients is that successful small businesses are run by people with passion. Small business owners believe in what they are doing, and they love doing it. They are brimming with ideas.

At heart, most small business people feel that they were born to make a difference in the world – to make the world a better place. The small business owner is obsessed with succeeding in making that difference and reaping the rewards that they deserve for both themselves and for the people around them.

They do what it takes to make something happen – the long hours, the heartache, the joy, the desperation, the failure, the success and the elation. These people experience the full range of human emotion in the pursuit of their dream. They are the true believers.

How then can the small business consultant contribute to the small business owner’s success?

The answer is that the small business consultant must know how to help the small business owner learn to think strategically and thereby gain clarity, focus and direction. Such results are possible only when the consultant keeps three critical factors in mind:

- While passion is often a key ingredient, a small business cannot run on passion alone

- The small business person must make good strategic decisions

- A successful small business person works hard

A Small Business Cannot Run on Passion Alone

Passion is critical in small business, but it must be channeled and directed. Single-minded focus is gained only by going through a deep thinking, soul-searching process that delivers a clear sense of Mission, Vision and Values.

This process must occur at the personal level and then be reflected in the business itself, through words that spell out the Mission, Vision and Values in easily understood language.

These words become the primary essence of the business. For the small business person, these statements spell out their beliefs and assumptions about their business and inform everything that they think, say and do.

Every morning, when the successful small business person gets out of bed, it is with a real sense of purpose, namely, to fulfill his or her Mission.

Their Mission, Vision and Values are well understood within their business, and they are the critical clauses of the employment contract that everyone in the business signs up for.

Mission, Vision and Values inform and shape all business policy development and the processes and measures that are put in place to ensure disciplined execution.

Making Good Strategic Decisions

Once the value base of the business is defined, it must be aligned with good strategic decisions.

Strategy Formulation is critical for success in small business. It is the thinking that this exercise generates that delivers high performing action, sustainable outcomes and lasting results.

The effective small business consultant takes the small business owner through a process of thinking that ensures that the nature and the direction of the business are fully understood. The critical issues for action are identified and priorities are set.

Agreed actions must then be written down, so that they cascade from the strategic level to all the operational streams of the business. Everyone in the business must know what part they play in achieving the strategic goals.

Remember, small business people are energized by the demands put on them in the moment. This is because they are people of action. However, this can be a problem when they are under too much pressure. They can become overwhelmed by the clamor of present demands, and they often fail to have a planned approach.

Working to a well constructed small business plan, based in good strategic thought and decision making, relieves the pain of the frenetic pace and worries of the day to day.

By paying attention to the important things that further their strategic goals, the successful small business person gains the right perspective on immediate and urgent sounding distractions. Business development and risk management are all addressed, when the small business owner works to a plan.

One of the important things that the small business person must have clear in their minds is everything to do with their customers. They must know who they are. They must know what they need. They must know where they are and how they are going to be reached. They must know their own capabilities in being able to deliver what their customers want.

They must know the gaps in their own business that must be addressed to achieve high yielding results.

When all their capabilities are analyzed at depth, the small business owner has the information he or she needs to make the decisions that will secure the future of the business. The small business consultant must ensure this is the case.

A Successful Small Business Person Works Hard

When the small business owner is clear about his or her Mission and Vision, and is behaving in keeping with a well defined set of values, hard work is not an issue. Working to a well conceived plan generates sufficient enthusiasm that even small gains become immensely gratifying.

Quality of thinking, combined with good decisions and focused action, evoke the work ethic that creates momentum and delivers outstanding results. Small business owners are energized and become even more motivated when they are in touch with their own value base.

They feel in control when they have a good plan in place that they can work to. This is because they are paying attention to the right things, in the right way, and they can see that they are making progress.

Passion, aligned with good decision making at the strategic level, puts them in control of their business and makes them feel alive. It puts them on the path of never-ending improvement, both personally and in their business.
