Default Insurance As A Target Market
Are there any VA's who specifically target the insurance industry as their niche market? If so, would you please give us a little feedback on this industry as a niche market.

I thought that I had a client in this market, but the reason I lost them is they wanted me to do actual sales for them. This was not the purpose of the original contract/discussions and I was unwilling to put that in the equation at the time until I had some time to look into it.

Thanks for any thoughts/insights.

I've worked with insurance agents for their database and email management. Having had experience in this field myself gives me more edge in terms of technical programs they use. Insurance agents need to make sure their customer service is consistent so that's where I come in to assist them.

Hi all. I have worked in property and casualty commercial insurance for 40 yrs. Been licensed in two states. Presently, I am working on setting up my business and plan to offer insurance services as well as internet marketing services. I'm taking the VA Classroom courses. Since I have always worked in insurance, I'm taking that in order that I can learn something new and offer services in that area. My plans are to have all of this figured out by January 1st. Pat

With the new year coming around, a lot of these folks get geared up! Now is a good time to take the administrative detail off their hands and help them realize their business goals!
