I work with hundreds of insurance buyers a year.
A common complaint is, "I only hear from my agent when he sends a bill."
Call your best clients. Tell them you were thinking about them. Ask how they are doing. Ask how you can help? Offer to buy them a cup of coffee and to spend a few minutes reviewing their insurance so you can be sure things are set up right based on current conditions.
Send clients newspaper articles you think might interest them. Send them a link to a website you think they’d enjoy. Recommend a book, podcast, or video they might like.
It’s a relationship business. What are you doing to build your relationships?

Re: The Number One Insurance Buyer Complaint
You hear hundreds of people saying that eh? You must know a lot of people that aren't on direct billing.
