#First American home warranty

About First American home warranty

A First American home warranty (FAHM) is a renewable yearly service contract that protects a home’s systems and appliances from unexpected repair or replacement costs due to a break down. Homeowners insurance does not typically cover for mechanical failures, so a home warranty can help bridge the gap. We’ve been a home warranty leader for more than 35 years.

Target Audience

There are two distinct buyers:
A. The end user customer (home owner).
B. The mortgage broker that becomes a referral opportunity from their customer base.

Why Focus On Digital Selling?

  • The industry has gone through a ‘commoditization’, as mortgage brokers have a lot of options. FAHM decided to change the conversation and develop deeper, digital relationship (in conjunction to personal relationships) in order to remain Top of Mind.
  • There is so much change in the mortgage broker world that FAHM could be first to identify Signals of opportunity vs. risk.
  • FAHM has been investing a marketing and sales tools to accelerate the sales force, and Sales for Life could pull all these best practices together into a comprehensive learning experience.

How Was Success Measured?

Program success was evaluated through Sales for Life’s measurement framework, grounded on the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model, as the industry best-practice.

While much of social selling enablement is focused strictly on training, Sales for Life’s model is built around knowledge transfer and application. This is ultimately tied to sales results and ROI. It was through this approach that FAHM was able to correlate actual sales results through application of learning.

“If had not been for our Social Selling outreach (through key account planning), this opportunity would have been completely overlooked. Our own customer was considering another solution for their adjacent business unit.”
