Here’s what to do
  1. Take a service-oriented approach. Our leads are ready to buy life insurance and they need your assistance. In order to help them find the right coverage for their needs, find out why they’re looking for life insurance, and what questions they had about the application.
  2. Follow up with every lead as soon as possible. Call the lead and use our scripts to close the sale.

“Hey, this is [NAME]. I am a licensed rep at [AGENCY NAME] and we work with Ethos. We noticed that you didn’t complete the application online. If you’re like most people, you didn’t get the pricing or the coverage you were looking for. I’m just reaching out to you to see how I can help.”

"Hey, my name is [NAME]. I am a licensed rep at [AGENCY NAME] and we work with Ethos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do these leads come from? 

All Ethos leads are sourced from our direct-to-consumer business. This means that a customer went directly to our website to apply for life insurance. None of our leads are sourced from agents.

Do I have to sell these leads a policy through Ethos?

We always recommend providing the best option for your clients. You can use Ethos or other carriers that are contracted with your agency. These leads have already started an application through Ethos, so you can likely sell a policy faster by helping them complete our application. We offer instant approval for 95% of applicants with no medical exam.*

How does Ethos ensure I get attribution for activation of an Ethos policy?

Best practice is to call leads several times before sending your agent website link. If you send the link, let them know that they should call you to finish the application together on the phone. Use the Agent-Assisted App to ensure you get credit for the sale.
