GloveBox Best Practices for Sales
- Share the app with prospects so they can connect with you easily and connect their policies! Once they have connected their carrier info, use this information for easy quoting!
- Tell existing clients about the app on every call, so they know to use your technology to handle simple, non-revenue generating requests. This frees up your time to focus on selling!
- Train referral partners to use GloveBox and refer to this as the primary mode of sending prospects to you. Referral partners can even request quotes on behalf of their clients.
Step-by-Step for using GloveBox in your sales process
When connecting with new prospects:
- On your call/email, invite the prospect to connect to your GloveBox by sending them your ClientHub link, directing them to your email signature, or using the Refer Your Agency button in your own app. Encourage them to explore!
- From GloveBoxHQ, Launch the prospect's GloveBox, and manually add their carriers.
- If it's an integrated carrier, invite them to connect to GloveBox and login to their carriers (they can even register login credentials if necessary) to import their policy data/documents.
- You can then view policy information on the GloveBoxHQ Client Profile page.
- With this, you can easily quote them based on the imported policy document information.
After getting a new client's policies issued:
- Send them the ClientHub link and ask them to launch GloveBox.
- Manually add their carriers.
- Register login credentials, and login/connect to integrated carriers.
- Use document upload to add any policies manually for unsupported carriers.
- Once setup, tell your new policyholder to claim their GloveBox and provide them with their new login credentials along with their temporary documents.
For existing policyholders:
On every call, ask/tell your policyholders about your app. Make it clear that policyholders can use your technology to handle several requests.
- If they don’t have a GloveBox account setup, create account in GloveBoxHQ, connect any carriers as necessary, and ask them to claim their GloveBox from the ClientHub link!
- If they already have the app, help them connect their carriers and upload their documents.
- Show them how to pay bills, file claims, and request service from your agencies.
