Here's exactly how you ask for a Google review that will drive immediate results. Hey, welcome to the insurance buzz. I am your host, Michael Weaver, and I'm flying solo today. And if you want more Google reviews, that is exactly what I'm going to be reviewing with you today. The exact process on how to drive more Google reviews every single day from your customers that absolutely love you. So let's get right into it. This is one of my favorite things to ask for because people love helping you. Your customers love you. They want to tell people about you. And Google Reviews give them a platform to do that. And the best part about this is where most consumers are still going today to look for insurance. Google. If you show up before anybody else on Google, or let's say you have 300, 400, 500, 1,000 Google Reviews, and the agent down the road has two, who do you think that they're going with? They're going with you because you have the credibility. You have the credibility which automatically gives the consumer more confidence in working with you and doing business with you because others are talking about you and they're talking about their experience and how incredible their experience was working with your office. And here's the thing: you have 500 reviews, and 498 of them are five-star, and you have two one-star. Who cares? Who cares? So this is what this episode is about. Specifically, let's get into this and just knock this out because this process is easy. It's simple. I'm going to be going through the four-step process and exactly what to say. So when you get done with a customer, it doesn't matter if you just helped them out with their new business P and C and maybe life, whatever, you were servicing a customer. Does not matter. You just got done with an appointment. Here's exactly how you ask for a Google review that will drive immediate results. Immediate results. Number one, repeat after me. Will you help me? Will you help me? Would you be willing to help me out today? Hey Michael, would you be willing to help me out today? See how easy that is now. I know asking for help can be kind of difficult for some of us. Myself included. But you have to ask for help. Hey Michael, would you be willing to help me out today? And what's Michael going to say? Yes. Of course. What's up? What do you need? Maybe they're like, maybe, what's up? All right, number two. Awesome. Thank you so much. Hey, I just text over a link. Did you receive that? Awesome. Thank you so much. I just text over a link. Did you receive that? Yes, I did. It's weird, I'm role-playing with myself, but this is literally how the conversation goes. Yep, I did. Yep. Yeah, it looks like it's here. Awesome. Well, hey, if you'll do me a favor, just real fast, if you'll click on that link to make sure it works. We know how technology is sometimes, sometimes the links are invalid. Can you just make sure it works real fast? It should take you to our Google page. I repeat, this is step three. Hey, if you could, just click on that link real fast to make sure it works. But you know how technology is, sometimes, sometimes things mess up. It should take you to our Google page. Can you confirm that that's where it takes you? Yeah, that's where it took me. Awesome. Step four. If you could, Michael, just take 30 seconds right now and go ahead and leave us a five-star rating and review on Google and just tell people a little bit about your experience in working with me. And if you could actually name drop, that would be even better, Michael. That'd be incredible. Once you're done leaving that five-star Google review, if you could just let me know when you submitted it, I'll make sure it comes through on my side. I'll repeat step four. Okay, so if you could just go ahead and leave a five-star rating and review and go ahead and tell people just a little bit about our office and maybe even name drop me. That'd be incredible. Just take 30 seconds, not a lot of time. Leave that five-star rating and review. And when you're done and you hit submit, let me know and I'll make sure it comes through on my side. Because again, you know, technology is weird sometimes. Let's take a quick break and talk about something that actually matters in your agency. Your expectations are at an all-time high, yet your team is underperforming. And your team is underperforming because they've never been trained. That's not just costing you money in the future, that's costing you money right now. At Weaver Sales Academy, we are having a summer sizzle sell because it is our eighth birthday. I cannot believe it. We've worked with over 17,000 insurance professionals. We've helped sell over 200 million in insurance sales, and we would love to work with you and your team. Not only is your untrained team hurting your production and business right now, it's also hurting in the future. It's a compounding result. And that's exactly why I want you to click the link below today. Take advantage of the savings. It's over $1,200 savings. Usually to work with us, it's $4,200 right now. It's $29.97. Make sure you take advantage of this summer sizzle sell. Other than that, let's get back to the show. Bada bing, bada boom. You just followed a four-step process to get a Google review today. Immediately. Now so let's walk through this process one more time, and then we're gonna go back and get about our day. So step number one. Will you help me? Hey Michael, I've got a favor to ask. Will you help me out real fast? Sure will. What's up? Michael, thank you so much. That's incredible. Hey. I just sent over uh a link to your phone. I texted to you. Did you receive that by chance? Let me see. Yeah, it looks like a a message just came across. What's up? Oh hey. So if you could just click on that link real fast, you know how technology is, sometimes it doesn't work. But um if it works properly, it should take you to our Google page. Can you click on that just to make sure it works? Great, awesome. Okay, well, Michael, um the reason why I'm asking for your help today is if you'll just take 30 seconds just real fast and leave us a five-star rating and review. So you just have to click on that fifth star and then just type something in the box about your experience in working with us, and it'd be a bonus if you name drop me. That'd be huge. I'd be very grateful for that. Whenever you're done doing that, just let me know when you hit submit. I'll make sure it comes through on our side. That is a four-step process to drive a five-star Google review today. I want you to take it. I want you to use it, I want you to implement it. And when you get your first five-star review, which will happen today when you use this, let me know. Let me know. Be even better if you went and gave us a five-star rating on the insurance buzz. I don't care if you listen to it on Apple or Spotify, maybe you're listening, maybe you're listening or watching on YouTube, rate the insurance buzz, man. If this is helpful to you, it'd be incredible for you to go ahead and leave a review for us as well. So, other than that, I appreciate you guys. If you take this and use it, you will see instant results uh with this. This is one of those things that it doesn't take a long time to notice the difference. You'll get it right now. If you use this right now, because think about this. Hey, will you help me out? You're going for the yes. Awesome. Did you receive the link? Yes. They're like, yeah, sure did. Okay, awesome. Well, you make sure you click on the link and make sure it works. Yeah, it worked. Awesome. Go ahead, take 30 seconds out of your day. Just leave us a five-star rating and review. Name drop me if possible. That'd be a huge help. Let me know when you're done and you've hit submit. That's all you have to do. So go out, take action.
