It’s rarely a lack of effort.Most insurance agents in India work hard—They call, follow up, explain policies, and try to keep up with product changes.

So why do so many still miss out on business?

Here’s the truth: You’re not losing business because you’re not working hard. You’re losing it because you don’t have the right tools at the right time.

Let’s break down where deals actually slip away—and how to fix it.

🚫 Where & why Insurance Agents Lose Business (Real-World)

1. The Follow-Up That Never Happened

You had a great conversation. The client was interested.Then… nothing.

✅ Fix It: Have a visual or a pitch follow-up ready within 24 hours. A WhatsApp status or reminder message with a quote works better than “Just checking in, sir.”

2. The Script That Sounded Too Complicated

Ever opened a brochure and felt tongue-tied trying to explain it? If your client is confused, they won’t ask. They’ll walk.

✅ Fix It: Use short, ready-made lines that explain cover like a story—not a clause. One line can keep a client hooked:

“Think of this plan like a personal umbrella—only for your hospital bills.”

3. The Objection You Couldn’t Answer

“Isn’t this too expensive?”“I already have insurance.”“Will this even get approved?”

And just like that, you go silent—or worse, try to over-explain.

✅ Fix It: Smart objection handlers help you flip the question into a win.

“That’s a great question, and it actually saves you more in the long run. Want me to show you how?”

4. The Product You Never Tal

ked About

You only pitch what you understand. So, if you’ve never sold Cyber or Property insurance—those leads just slip through.

✅ Fix It: Learn to pitch B2B in 2 minutes using simplified decks + storylines.You don’t have to be a specialist—just need the right prompt.

5. The Regulation You Didn’t Know Changed

Your client read the news. You didn’t. You tried to pitch, and they hit you with an IRDAI update you hadn’t seen yet.

✅ Fix It: Get a daily feed of only what matters. No PDFs. No jargon. Just:

“New rule: Free look = 30 days for all Health & Life.”Use it in your pitch that day.
