A new insurance advisor focused on life insurance, retirement planning, and protecting families struggled to generate consistent opportunities
Country: Canada 🇨🇦
Practice Type: Insurance Advisor (agency focus)
Practice Stage: New Practice
Primary Services: Life Insurance (term and permanent)
Sheila is a new insurance advisor based in Canada focused on helping young families and business owners protect their lives, businesses, and financial futures.
Like many new advisors entering the industry, she was building her practice from the ground up and needed a predictable way to connect with qualified prospects without relying only on personal networks.
Before joining Fintello, Sheila relied primarily on traditional prospecting methods including:
• Referrals
• Networking events
• Friends & Family (she hated this)
• Cold calling
• In-person presentations
Despite putting in the effort, generating qualified meetings consistently remained one of the biggest challenges in growing her business.
She also had little experience using digital platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook to generate conversations with potential clients.
As a new advisor, she wanted guidance instead of spending months trying to figure out prospecting strategies on her own.
She was looking for a structured system that could help her understand how to use social media, generate conversations, and build confidence when approaching prospects online.
She implemented Fintello’s client acquisition system focused on using social media platforms to create consistent prospect conversations.
