What's in this episode:
Most insurance agents are creating content, not marketing, and it is costing them business. In this episode, Michael and Courtney Weaver break down the critical difference between chasing likes and views versus building a marketing strategy that actually drives revenue for an insurance agency. Courtney, who has led marketing and branding for Team Weaver for over 12 years, explains why vanity metrics like virality and engagement mean nothing if they don't convert into real, paying customers.

Listeners learn how to start with the end in mind by defining a clear call to action, identify their ideal customer by product, age, and platform, and write copy that speaks to one person instead of a crowd. This is part one of a two-part marketing series, with part two diving into buyer psychology and message-specific copywriting.
