Let’s say you are moving to small town where you will be conducting your business as insurance agent for National Agents Alliance and you don’t really know anybody. Here are the tips that can help you with these roadblocks:

1. Get to know other business owners

Find out how did they start? How long they were in business? What were the first steps they took? What challenges did they have to face? How did they end up in this town? Listen carefully and evaluate what worked and what didn’t. This information can help tremendously in making the right decision about whether to start or not and what strategy to use.

2. It is all about the first impression

Make sure that when you start your business you are remembered and recognized as someone who is trustworthy and accountable. Small town people are more intimate and like to talk about what is new. So let people know what you doing and who you are.

3. Do market research

Find out who else is in insurance industry and get to know them. Take time to discover their reputation.

4. Familiarize yourself with local regulations

Make sure that your business is legit and that you have proper insurance for conducting sales.

5. Know your community

Will your market come from second and third generation local residents? Or are you serving those who relocated recently from urban areas?

6. Build relationships

Attract key leaders in town and ask for referrals.

And in a small town, you’ll be expected to be a super-citizen. Choose alliances and sponsorships carefully. Prepare for all sorts of friendly requests to donate time, materials and money.
