The health insurance market is becoming increasingly competitive.

Among the internet-savvy generation, billboards and Yellow Pages advertisements have become passé.

As an agent what could be the best possible way to continue to generate health insurance leads? Yes, telemarketing does generate prequalified comprehensive health insurance leads that are at once, both exclusive and personalized. But is there a swifter smarter method by which an agent could reach out to potential customers, without intruding on those consumers who may not have a need for his services?

There is much that can be done in order to generate health and group health insurance leads. The internet provides the agent with a fantastic opportunity to reach new prospects daily. Surveys conducted a while ago prove that:

• 40% of today's health insurance prospects venture online before they buy a health insurance cover, and 2% clinch the medical insurance deal online.

• It is expected that 50% of health insurance cover will be bought online by the end of 2005.

Responding to agents' needs in today's internet age, there are a fair number of online firms that have sprung up, specializing in seeking health insurance leads, and delivering them to their client. Most of these lead generating businesses offer similar choice of services -with only a slight difference in method and expense-.

• You ask yourself "What are the qualities that I am looking for in a lead-generating firm?" Everything depends on what you actually need.

• Reliable companies would vouchsafe for the authenticity of a vast percentage of the leads that they generate. That is, a thorough verification of the email addresses and names of the health insurance prospects will be conducted before delivering them to you. Some companies actually guarantee a payback to your account, should any of the leads that they have forwarded to you, be invalid.

• To make doubly sure of the validity of the prospects, these companies would apply filters to verify if the consumer meets the required criteria to receive health insurance.

• Depending on the amount of information that you require, further details regarding demographic information can also be forwarded to you.

• All lead-generating firms would offer you the name and email identity of the health insurance prospect, but if you wished to offer a tailor-made health insurance policy to suit each of your potential customers, then it would depend on the way these companies collect further data for you such as age, sex, ZIP code.
