How to Embrace Role Playing – Understand the Why

If there’s one thing that makes a lot of insurance agents twist up inside, it’s role playing in an insurance agency. But it’s an important topic, and it can be incredibly helpful, which is why we’re going to focus on it all this week. So, why is role playing in an insurance agency so great?

“Why would you do role playing? Is it to torture you? No. It’s to refine you. And so if you look at it like this is a way to refine my sales process, to understand, to hear how other people are doing things, to get stronger, to get better, then it kind of changes your tone a little bit.”

 

How to Embrace Role Playing – Come Prepared

If you or people in your agency shudder at the idea of role playing in your insurance agency, you’re definitely not alone. But in order to be prepared for real scenarios in your insurance agency,  role playing is something that we all need to embrace. Today we’re talking about how exactly to do that.

“Even though it’s role playing it doesn’t make it a night at the Improv, where it’s just completely off the cuff, off the script, yeah there’s no script on role playing, it’s more of going back and forth and playing off your partner, but there is an element you can study for this, and you can be prepared.”

 

How to Embrace Role Playing – Listen Objectively to Feedback

If role playing in an insurance agency isn’t your favorite thing, you’re definitely not the only one. But that’s why all this week we’re covering how to embrace role playing. One of the bigger issues we see is that people who do role playing tend to take it personally. Instead, you should learn how to simply respond to the scenario itself without reacting to any curveballs, and listen to feedback objectively. 

“When you’re getting your constructive criticism and someone gives you a negative feedback or constructive feedback, you wanna make sure that you take that and not be defensive about it. They’re not attacking you as a person. They’re helping you to get better at your role play, get better at your role within the agency or within the company.”
