Episode Details

Meta changed the rules for life insurance advertising, and a lot of agents are still trying to win with the old playbook. We sit down with the team behind Life Button to dig into what actually works now that Facebook’s special ads category limits targeting and makes “quality” harder to engineer. The big question we keep coming back to is simple: if targeting is broad, how do you still generate consistent life insurance leads without lighting your ad budget on fire?

We talk through their AI-driven approach to lead generation, built on years of ad performance data and millions in spend, where agents can run campaigns closer to true cost instead of paying a traditional lead vendor markup. We also get practical about what matters after the lead comes in: speed to lead, follow-up, scripts, tracking pickup and response rates, and why you need a real testing runway before you declare any lead source “dead.” Along the way we hit compliance (TCPA, consent, state differences), the ethics and business impact of resold leads, and what “support” should look like when you’re trying to scale a team.

Then we walk through the product workflow: templates, multiple ads per campaign, AI optimization in approval mode, OTP and landing page testing, SMS automation, and even underwriting support so newer agents don’t pitch the wrong product too early. If you’re building a life insurance agency and you care about ROI, process, and long-term profitability, this one will sharpen how you think about leads and execution. Subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review with your biggest lead challenge so we can tackle it next.
