If you’re an insurance agent who knows social media matters…
but freezes the second you try to post this episode is your reset.
In this episode of The Modern Insurance Agent Podcast, David and Elle Denning break down why posting feels so intimidating (and why it’s not a personality flaw), plus the exact mindset shifts and simple weekly plan that builds confidence through reps not perfection.
This isn’t about becoming an influencer or going viral.
It’s about showing up clearly, confidently, and consistently without sounding salesy, scripted, or fake.
You’ll learn how to stop treating social media like a performance, start talking like a real human, and generate content instantly by answering the same questions clients already ask you every day.
The goal isn’t to go viral.
It’s to go first.
🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
• Why social media feels scary for insurance agents (and how pressure kills confidence)
• The “talk to one person” shift that instantly makes video feel easier
• How to post confidently without sounding salesy, fake, or like an influencer
• The difference between selling vs. explaining (and why explaining wins trust)
• A low-pressure weekly posting plan you can start this week — even if you hate video
✅ The 5-Step Confidence Plan (Do This This Week)
1️⃣ Pick one audience (one niche, one type of client)
2️⃣ Write down 3 real questions they ask you all the time
3️⃣ Choose 1 question and answer it in a face-forward selfie post or quick video
4️⃣ Reply to every comment and start conversations (that’s where momentum lives)
5️⃣ Don’t judge the post. No view-checking spiral. Just notice how it felt to show up
