Plynthe Insurance will offer the following personal insurance products:
1. Home and Contents:
2. Valuable Items:
3. Personal Liability
4. Life Insurance
5. Long-term Care
6. Long-term Disability
All of these products will be offered to individuals and not businesses. The insurance products will be provided by any of the major insurance providers in existence, with attention paid to smaller providers who offer specialized insurance products.
While offering these products, Plynthe Insurance will provide the following services:
The market for personal insurance consists of all adult individuals, potentially, as there are products available which are appropriate for every type of person from the moment they leave their parents’ home to the day they die. Therefore, the market for an insurance agent selling personal insurance in Peristyle Gardens is synonymous with the adult population of Peristyle Gardens. In 2008, the population of adults (18 and older) in the town was estimated at 57,500. The town has an overall annual growth rate of 2% due to new developments in the town and an aging population with ever-increasing life expectancies.
Within this target market, the market segments on which Plynthe Insurance will focus include renters, homeowners, individuals over 40 years of age, and new parents/parents-to-be.
The market segments described include a great deal of overlap. For example, many adults over the age of 40 are also homeowners and the remainder are renters. The new parent segment are also either homeowners or renters, generally. Each segment has different needs for insurance products, however, and those who fall into more than one segment have a need for more than one product.

Plynthe Insurance will focus its initial marketing on those at the younger end of the spectrum, including renters and new parents/parents-to-be. The strategy will be to begin by selling renter’s insurance and life insurance to clients and then earn their ongoing trust in order to sell additional insurance policies to them as new needs arise. Younger clients will also serve as a longer annuity as insurance policies are renewed year after year.
As these clients increase in age they will have growing needs for homeowner’s insurance, valuable items insurance, life insurance, and, eventually, long-term care and long-term disability.
The United States Department of Labor offers the following summary of the insurance industry:
Most people have their first contact with an insurance company through an insurance sales agent. These workers help individuals, families, and businesses select insurance policies that provide the best protection for their lives, health, and property. Insurance sales agents, commonly referred to as “producers” in the insurance industry, sell one or more types of insurance, such as property and casualty, life, health, disability, and long-term care. Property and casualty insurance agents sell policies that protect individuals and businesses from financial loss resulting from automobile accidents, fire, theft, storms, and other events that can damage property. For businesses, property and casualty insurance can also cover injured workers’ compensation, product liability claims, or medical malpractice claims. Life insurance agents specialize in selling policies that pay beneficiaries when a policyholder dies. Depending on the policyholder’s circumstances, a cash-value policy can be designed to provide retirement income, funds for the education of children, or other benefits as well. Life insurance agents also sell annuities that promise a retirement income. Health insurance agents sell health insurance policies that cover the costs of medical care and loss of income due to illness or injury. They also may sell dental insurance and short-term and long-term-disability insurance policies. Agents may specialize in any one of these product areas, or function as generalists, providing multiple products to a single customer. An increasing number of insurance sales agents are offering comprehensive financial planning services to their clients. These services include retirement planning, estate planning, and assistance in setting up pension plans for businesses. As a result, many insurance agents are involved in “cross-selling” or “total account development”. Besides offering insurance, these agents may become licensed to sell mutual funds, variable annuities, and other securities. This practice is most common with life insurance agents who already sell annuities, but many property and casualty agents also sell financial products. Insurance sales agents also prepare reports, maintain records, and seek out new clients. In the event that policy holders experience a loss, agents help them settle their insurance claims. Increasingly, some agents are also offering their clients financial analysis or advice on how to minimize risk. Insurance sales agents working exclusively for one insurance company are referred to as captive agents . Independent insurance agents, or brokers , represent several companies and match insurance policies for their clients with the company that offers the best rate and coverage. Technology has greatly affected the insurance business, making it much more efficient and giving the agent the ability to take on more clients. Agents’ computers are now linked directly to insurance carriers via the Internet, making the tasks of obtaining price quotes and processing applications and service requests faster and easier. Computers also allow agents to be better informed about new products that the insurance carriers may be offering. The growing use of the Internet in the insurance industry has altered the relationship between agent and client. Agents formerly used to devote much of their time to marketing and selling products to new clients. Now, clients are increasingly obtaining insurance quotes from a company’s Web site and then contacting the company directly to purchase policies. This interaction gives the client a more active role in selecting their policy, while reducing the amount of time agents spend actively seeking new clients. Insurance sales agents also obtain many new accounts through referrals, so it is important that they maintain regular contact with their clients to ensure that the clients’ financial needs are being met. Developing a satisfied clientele that will recommend an agent’s services to other potential customers is a key to success for agents.
The Department of Labor reports that there were 436,000 insurance sales agents in 2006 and that approximately 50% of them were independent agents or worked for brokerages. Urban areas tend to have a greater concentration of insurance agents. Peristyle Gardens has approximately 28 insurance agents (or roughly 1 for every 2,000 residents). However, these agents do not all offer the same products as Plynthe Insurance.
Customers seek insurance through one or more of the following:
The greater the insurance need of an individual, the more likely they are to seek a local office where they can meet with an agent and discuss their needs in person. For the target markets of renters and new parents/parents-to-be in Peristyle Gardens, the primary competition will come from national insurance carriers rather than other independent agents.
To implement its launch in Peristyle Gardens, Plynthe Insurance intends to target clients on the younger side of the total potential market in order to build up a client base for long-term service. This is also a target market that is ignored by other local independent insurance agents, making it easier to establish a foothold in the market this way. This implementation will include:
Plynthe Insurance will establish its competitive edge through a single-minded focus on personal insurance. By being and staying an expert on personal insurance products and providers, Plynthe Insurance will be a one-stop-shop for individuals looking to minimize the risks in their lives for themselves and for their families. To maintain this expertise, Plynthe Insurance will devote time and energy to training and course work, and will subscribe to trade periodicals and newsletters. Plynthe Insurance will also spend time learning about the specific risks and problems associated with Peristyle Gardens in order to better serve its residents.
The marketing strategy for Plynthe Insurance involves an initial focus on the target markets chosen, new parents/parents-to-be and renters. Renters require renter’s insurance and valuable items insurance. It is often the first time they will have purchased insurance in their lives. New parents require life insurance to protect their family and their children. Both groups may only purchase policies with small premiums at the moment, but their loyalty will turn into an annuity of renewals and opportunities to sell additional policies as they age.
To reach these target markets, Plynthe Insurance will engage in the following tactics:
The sales strategy of Plynthe Insurance will be an aggressive one based on profiling and targeting individuals in the initial target market. Kolem Plynthe will have initial phone conversations with clients and then meet them at their home or office to discuss further. He will bring his laptop with him to all sales calls to search for insurance options for clients on the spot whenever possible.
Potential, actual, and past clients will all be managed through a CRM database in salesforce.com which will contain contact information and data on the relationship, and will generate reminders for follow-ups and next steps automatically.
Kolem Plynthe will encourage referrals through his interactions with clients by asking them directly and by offering gifts to those who refer clients.
By building business through Kolem Plynthe’s own sales work and then through an additional associate, the business is expected to significantly grow its revenue streams, especially in the target market of younger clients, in these first three years of operation.

Kolem Plynthe will be the only employee of Plynthe Insurance in its first year. He will continue to direct the company going forward and will bring on an associate agent in the second year of operation. This agent will prospect, sell, and fulfill policy requests for clients and will answer questions of clients just as Kolem Plynthe will. However, Plynthe will manage the marketing and finances of the firm and will set guidelines for training and education which the associate agent must follow.
Kolem Plynthe will escalate his salary as the year goes forward. Although the business is currently a sole proprietorship, his salary is recorded to better illustrate the tax burden he will face. The associate agent will be compensated with a base salary, a 5% commission on sales, and a percentage of net profits which will increase based on performance. The associate agent will have an initial salary of $50,000 per year, but will be hired part way into the second year of operation.
Training for the associate agent (and future associate agents) will begin with direct, on the job training by Kolem Plynthe on sales calls. Ongoing training will include required course work to maintain certification as well as additional events in the community, conferences, and reading material.

The business will finance its growth from a combination of the free cash flows generated by the business and a loan taken out in the second year to finance the move to a small office space in Peristyle Gardens. Beyond the first three years, growth will be possible by adding more agents and moving to a larger office space when the initial space is no longer adequate (when a third associate must be added).
The business is not well positioned for a sale as it will be built on the expertise of Kolem Plynthe. However, profits may become extensive when the appropriate scale is achieved and the business can expand to additional personal insurance products or financial advisory services.
Plynthe Insurance will be launched with Kolem Plynthe’s own resources, including credit card debt, personal savings, and some credit extended by vendors providing start-up services.

Net profit will be on top of a healthy salary for Kolem Plynthe, showing that the business will be well worth the small initial investment to launch. Gross margins are very high (as is standard for the insurance brokerage industry) and overhead is rather low. The main costs will be payroll for the insurance agents. Lower salaries can be paid in the future for new associate agents as less experienced, but malleable, agents are brought into the business.

The projected cash flow shows the business investing in additional assets (furniture, computers, equipment) in the second year and third year to equip the office. While the cash balance of the business is low, the salary paid to Kolem Plynthe will act as a safety valve and can be reduced if the cash is not currently available.

The business rations for Plynthe Insurance are compared here against insurance agencies and brokerages (NAISC industry code 534210, SIC code 6411) of under $500,000 annual revenue. The accounts receivable ratio for the business is higher than the industry average as all accounts will be paid out of commissions from insurance providers after the policies have been processed and bills put through their systems. Also, the fact that the industry average S G & A expense and Advertising expense is much lower (as a percentage of sales) than that of Plynthe Insurance shows that the business can grow to a much greater scale, spreading its current relatively fixed costs over more agents and becoming more profitable in the process. As the business grows, this will be possible.
