Find out where Insurance Agents Rank in you State

If you are in the insurance business, certain states are not going to work as well as others. Regardless of your skills and experience, even using the highest quality lists of potential clients some states produce poorer results. If your sales territory consists of multiple states, start with those listed highest for best results.

So its not just you! Your abilities, plus your prospect list qualities, plus the states characteristics will largely determine you success tendencies. Sending out a mailing piece in Wisconsin, and sending the same number in Arizona are going to produce different results.

Each year an accurate attempt is made to see how one state stacks up against all the rest. Then its listing the state insurance rankings from top to bottom. This is not a flip-a-coin guess procedure.
