(When Cash Flow is Positive)
SAMPLE SCRIPT
Mr. Prospect, many people consider life insurance a
superior form of savings:
❖ It is regular accumulation of funds
❖ It commits you to save a fixed amount at the same time
each year
❖ The money is put aside for you, removing any
temptation to withdraw, for the purpose of saving a
legacy for your loved ones!
❖ As you have surplus cash, then you can have
additional saving that will secure a better financial
future for your loved ones and leave them a legacy
whereby they will always remember you!

SALES IDEA # 2: INCOME and EXPENDITURE
(When Cash Flow is Negative)
SAMPLE SCRIPT (CONT’D)
Mr. Prospect if something happens to “Salary” on the left, which items from
“Expenditure” on the right will cross over and take the place of “Salary”?
Only one item – Life Insurance. So actually, it is NOT an “Expenditure” but a “Future Income”.
Add: If nothing happens to “Salary” on the left, then Insurance is called “Thrift” or “Savings”.
So, Mr. Prospect, how much should you consider putting on this item? (5% is a good indicator) or
perhaps we can reconsider where you can free-up other expenses in order to get some protection
for your loved ones?
