Description

This week’s guest is Chris Langille, Founder of Advisor Evolved, a digital marketing agency specifically serving independent insurance agencies (though not exclusively). Tom, Curtis, and Chris discuss the benefits Chris has realized by niching down in the digital marketing industry, particularly in the service insurance agencies. They emphasize the importance of focusing on the most profitable lines of business and targeting lower hanging fruit in advertising campaigns. They also highlight the need for a well-functioning sales process and the importance of aligning sales and marketing efforts. The conversation touches on the challenges of working with limited budgets and the need for a comprehensive backend process to maximize the return on investment. Plus: what is the current state and potential future for AI in digital advertising and marketing?
