NAVIGATING EXPONENTIAL GROWTH:
SALES IN THE ERA OF TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION
A Chance Encounter with Evel Knievel
Believe it or not, I once met Evel Knievel in a bar where we were both enjoying a cold beer. As we talked, I remembered that he enjoyed playing golf. Seeing an opportunity for a memorable game, I suggested a friendly match,
thinking I might just have the chance to outplay a legend.
To my surprise, Knievel agreed, but there was a catch:
he'd play if we bet on the game.
He states we could start the bet at just 10¢. It sounds trivial, right? But then he lays out the rest of his idea:
double the bet on every hole.
Initially, it sounds like easy money, or at the very least, a small loss for a great story. However, as I start doing the math, the reality hits me: by the 18th hole, we’re not talking about pocket change anymore, but a staggering $13,107.
This was my crash course in understanding exponential growth.
It's a lesson that directly applies to our field of sales. Like the doubling bet, small, consistent gains in our efforts can lead to massive outcomes over time.
The Power of Exponential Growth
Imagine taking thirty steps in a straight line and then taking thirty exponential steps. The difference is staggering. In the linear scenario, you'd be a relatively short distance from your starting point, but with exponential growth, you'd circle the planet over 26 times! Our brains are wired to think linearly, but in today's world, exponential growth is driving change, primarily due to technology.
Moore's Law and the Tech Revolution
Moore's Law, formulated in 1965, states that technology's speed doubles while its cost halves every 18-24 months. It's a fundamental driver of exponential growth in the tech world, transforming everything around us.
The Impact on Business
Technology isn't just changing our personal lives; it's disrupting virtually every industry, including insurance. In fact, it's estimated that 40% of Fortune 500 companies won't exist in a decade due to this tech-driven transformation.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is at the forefront of this revolution. AI continually learns and grows smarter as it's fed more data. This dynamism means it's not static but constantly evolving, and it may even be speeding up Moore’s law.
Transforming the Insurance Industry
The insurance sector is no exception to these changes. InsurTech companies are leveraging technology to enhance the customer experience. They employ AI-driven chatbots for customer inquiries, utilize data analytics to personalize insurance products, and offer mobile apps for seamless claims processing.
Meeting Customers’ Fast-Changing Expectations
Most importantly, technology is reshaping insurance customer expectations. Clients now demand more, better, and faster services. They seek business allies who can assist them with larger strategic questions, providing them with ways to handle exponentially growing risk, and they want professionals they can invite into these larger, more critical, and strategic discussions. It is in the context of these kinds of discussions that your ability to change the lives of your clients happens. This is also where you begin achieving exponential results in less time.
Your Place in the Future of Sales
The world is rapidly evolving, and the insurance industry is just beginning its transformation. As a sales producer and business ally, your role is shifting alongside it. Embrace technology, data, and AI to thrive in this changing landscape. Your ability to adapt and stay ahead of the curve and meet your customers evolving demands will determine your success in this new era of sales and business support.
