"We just do what we do," laughs Charlie Pinson when asked about a recent national magazine article his quotes appeared in. NAIFA, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, "Advisor Today" features the Kentucky insurance agent's philosophy in the January 2009 edition.
The copyrighted article titled, "Marketing Secrets from Top Producers" reflects Pinson's penchant for local marketing strategies. "We market Charlie Pinson Insurance across Kentucky, but our home-base is Pikeville. In our hometown, people know we know insurance. But, what we want them to know is we are part of their community."
The January article focuses on creative ways to capture business. Pinson recounts experiences he has had by doing a ballroom dance demonstration, as well as his television sportscasting pursuits. "Do what you like, and be enthusiastic about it. I love to dance, and I love Kentucky sports. If I can combine that with my love of the insurance business, why not?"
"Too many insurance agents take themselves way too seriously," Pinson opines. "It's not all about a suit and tie. The insurance business is about people connecting. Knowledge is power, but being genuinely interested in people, their challenges, and their community is what really makes a insurance career worthwhile.
