How To Sell Environmental Insurance Coverage The Secrets of the Trade

There is a secret trick that the pros use to sell a new environmental insurance policy. In this Users Guide I reveal the secrets of the trade utilized by the most successful sellers of environmental insurance policies.

The normal insurance sales process of filling out insurance applications, getting multiple quotes, proposing, and hopefully getting an order needs to be inverted in order to achieve any kind of success in the sale of environmental insurance.
The person in charge of sales for the insurance brokerage firm was trying to figure out why a handful of producers did well in selling environmental insurance but most did not.

Success had little to do with insurance market access or products.
