Cross-selling is one of the most powerful growth strategies that independent agencies can use. Most agencies already have clients in their existing book of business with coverage gaps. The real challenge is finding those opportunities, reaching out at the right time, and doing it consistently instead of only when someone remembers to follow up.

In this session, join Jason Walker, President of ACT Supporting Partner Agency Revolution as we walk through how to build a cross-sell strategy that actually works: identifying which clients are missing coverage, crafting outreach that feels like service instead of a sales pitch, and using your AMS data and automation to make the whole process repeatable. The goal is simple: Increase policies per client, strengthen retention, and have a book of business that grows.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn how to identify cross-sell opportunities within your existing book of business. Understand how to use your AMS data to spot coverage gaps and build targeted audiences even faster.
• Learn how to frame outreach so it feels like service, not a sales pitch. Understand the timing and messaging principles that make cross-sell conversations land with clients instead of putting them on the defensive.
• Learn how to turn cross-selling into a repeatable system. Understand how marketing automation takes a one-time cross-sell push and turns it into a consistent process that runs in the background.
  

Whether you’re just getting cross-selling on the radar or looking to formalize a strategy that’s been informal until now, you’ll leave with a clear, actionable path to increasing policies per client and building a book of business that sticks around longer.
