Prince Donnell — How Life Insurance Agents Can Double Their Leads Without Spending More Money

If you’re looking to generate more life insurance leads without spending a dime, you’re in the right place. As Prince Donnell, I’ve helped thousands of life insurance agents and agency owners scale their businesses using innovative strategies and proven systems. Today, I’m going to share a powerful technique — one I learned from Victor, our head of agents — that can help you double your leads without increasing your ad spend.

Prince Donnell on how to get Life Insurance Leads

The “Five Emergency Contacts” Strategy

This strategy is simple yet highly effective. Victor, who consistently generates $50,000-$60,000 a month in annualized premium, used this approach to maximize his client interactions. Here’s how it works:

When speaking to a lead, ask them this question before starting the application process:

“Do you have five emergency contacts I can note down in case I’m unable to reach you? This ensures we can address any underwriting issues or policy updates quickly.”

Why This Works

Trust Building: Leads appreciate that you’re thinking ahead to protect their policy and beneficiaries.

2. Referrals Without Asking: While the lead may not provide five contacts, they often give at least two — spouses, siblings, or children.

3. Exponential Growth: One lead can generate two additional contacts, turning five leads into ten, ten into twenty, and so on.

The Math Behind Doubling Your Leads

Here’s how this strategy scales:

1 lead generates 2 additional leads through emergency contacts.

5 leads = 10 additional leads.

10 leads = 20 additional leads.

20 leads = 40 additional leads.

40 leads = 80 additional leads.

By simply asking for emergency contacts, you’re doubling your lead flow without spending any extra money on ads or lead vendors.

Turning Emergency Contacts into Clients

Once you’ve collected emergency contact information, follow this simple process:

Introduce Yourself

Reach out to the emergency contact and say:

“Hi, my name is Don. I’m Kathy’s point of contact for her life insurance policy. She listed you as an emergency contact, so I wanted to introduce myself and ensure you have my information in case anything happens to Kathy.”

2. Start the Conversation

Add:

“By the way, Kathy didn’t mention if you have life insurance. If you don’t, I’d love to help ensure you’re protected like she is.”

3. Offer a Free Policy Review

If they already have a policy, say:

“Do you mind if I take a look at your policy to ensure it’s the right coverage for you? Many clients discover they have insufficient coverage or the wrong type of policy, and I’d love to help verify that for you.”

This approach leverages the relationship you’ve built through the initial lead, increasing the likelihood of closing new policies with their emergency contacts.

The Power of Simplicity

In today’s digital world, it’s easy to get caught up in advanced funnels, AI tools, and complex CRM systems. But as someone with over 12 years of experience in the life insurance space and five years in marketing, I can confidently say:

The basics work better than advanced strategies.

This “Five Emergency Contacts” method is proof. By focusing on simple, repeatable systems, you can consistently grow your business without unnecessary complexity.

Why This Strategy Lowers Your Cost Per Acquisition

Every lead you generate from emergency contacts is essentially free. This drastically reduces your cost to acquire a customer, allowing you to:

Increase profitability.

Help more families with less effort.

Build a scalable, efficient system.

For example, if you’re running Facebook ads to generate leads, this strategy ensures you maximize every dollar spent by doubling your lead count through emergency contact referrals.

How to Implement This Strategy in Your Insurance Agency

1. Train Your Team

Teach your agents to ask for emergency contacts on every call. This should become a standard part of your sales process.

2. Follow Up Consistently

Add emergency contacts to your CRM and set follow-up reminders every six months. A simple text or email can keep you top of mind.

3. Track Your Results

Measure how many additional leads and policies you generate from this strategy. Use this data to refine your approach and improve results over time.

Real Results From Life Insurance Agents

This strategy has been a game-changer for agents we’ve trained. Many report doubling their leads and increasing their annualized premium without spending more money on ads.

Conclusion

The “Five Emergency Contacts” strategy is a simple, effective way for life insurance agents to double their leads without spending extra money. By focusing on the basics and leveraging relationships, you can lower your cost per acquisition, increase revenue, and grow your business sustainably.
