This episode of the Power Producers Podcast, is focused on the use of digital marketing tools, specifically pixel tracking, retargeting, and video proposals, to enhance lead generation and sales conversions in the commercial insurance industry. The discussion emphasized the importance of quick follow-up on leads, the role of automation, and the critical need for a well-defined sales process when dealing with cold traffic. David Carothers and Chris Langille highlighted the use of pixels for tracking website visitors, remarketing strategies, and content creation to drive traffic to agency websites. The session also covered how personalized content, like blog posts and video proposals, can significantly boost sales, especially when paired with proper retargeting.
The call provided examples of retargeting through platforms like Facebook and Google, using video proposals via tools such as QuoteVids, and building custom audiences to drive more relevant traffic to an agency’s services. It also touched on the value of organic content over paid traffic in building long-term customer relationships.
Quick follow-up is essential, especially for cold traffic. Agencies need a well-defined process for responding to leads immediately via phone or automation. Speed is key in converting cold leads into sales.
Utilize tracking pixels (Facebook/Google) to retarget website visitors who don’t complete a conversion. This helps keep your brand in front of potential clients and reduces overall advertising costs by focusing on people who’ve already shown interest.
Use tools like QuoteVids to create and send personalized video proposals, allowing prospects to review quotes, download documents, and accept proposals. It improves client engagement and boosts closing rates by providing a more interactive experience.
Long-form blog posts and relevant content attract organic traffic, generate leads, and provide value. Clients who engage with educational content are often higher-quality leads, as they’ve already built trust with your brand.
Showcasing real client success stories through digital case studies builds credibility. They provide proof of your expertise and effectiveness, encouraging new prospects to trust your services.
Paid ad campaigns require expertise. Agencies should focus on creating organic, value-driven content and leave the complexities of paid advertising, such as Google and Facebook ads, to professionals to maximize return on investment.
Automating certain processes, like follow-ups, is important for efficiency, but maintaining a personal touch is key. Automation should not remove the human element, which is critical for building trust and strong client relationships.

In the ever-evolving world of commercial insurance, marketing has become a critical lever for growth. Yet most agencies still struggle to understand what’s actually working. From websites that generate leads with no attribution to CRM systems that silo vital data, insurance agencies are often flying blind.
If you’re a commercial insurance producer trying to grow in the middle market, you’re probably aware that the old-school prospecting methods—cold calling hundreds of businesses, dropping off trinkets, hoping someone is “coming up on renewal”—are no longer enough. In today’s competitive environment, success isn’t about how many people you reach. It’s about reaching the right people at the right time with the right message.
Too many agents stop learning once they’ve earned their license. The bare minimum—meeting continuing education requirements—is not enough in today’s climate. Producers often resort to online forums, asking where they can complete CE hours “as quickly as possible.” This mindset directly impacts their ability to communicate complex subjects like reinsurance or risk modeling to clients in an understandable way. As a result, they struggle to retain accounts and close new business in an increasingly competitive market.
The problem? Too many producers are pitching too soon, to the wrong people, with nothing more than a quote to offer. This article walks through how to close more business by positioning yourself as a trusted advisor, selling Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) outcomes, and using a structured approach to differentiate at every stage of the sales process.
In the modern commercial insurance landscape, trust is no longer built solely through in-person meetings, networking events, or polished brochures. It’s earned digitally—often before a prospect ever takes your call. As sales dynamics shift and competition tightens, the producers who will thrive are those who understand one thing: educational content is the new handshake.
Most commercial insurance producers think of referral networks as an afterthought—something that might generate a lead or two if they attend enough events, shake enough hands, or stay active in their BNI chapter. But the producers who consistently dominate the middle market think differently. They treat referral networks like revenue engines, built with the same discipline as a sales pipeline, and they use those relationships not only to generate appointments but to recruit the next generation of elite producers.
