INTRODUCTION AND RAPPORT BUILDING, NO-COST BENEFITS, & REFERRALS (25%)

INTRODUCTION: Hi, I’m Mike from American Income Life Insurance Company. I spoke to you about the
benefits and the Child Safe ID Kits endorsed through the International Union of Police Associations. Is
Mary here? They have me using my laptop to save some time and for quality control. Do you mind if we
sit at your kitchen table near an outlet? They have me running around like crazy, so if it’s OK with you,
I’ll go ahead and give you the quick version. (don’t sit till they do; ask whether to remove shoes)

WARM UP AND RAPPORT (F-O-R-M): Let me go ahead and get started…hey while I get this set up....
(start typing necessary information to get presentation setup and use these sample questions and
others to build rapport—DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE SPOUSE) How long have you lived in the area?
Do you know the neighbors pretty well? Do you have a lot of family in the area? Where do you work?
What do you do for work? (make sure to share something about yourself; continue once rapport is built)

WHY I’M HERE: (For Non-Child Safe don’t mention Child Safe Kit or Two Part Program) Let me tell you
exactly what my job is. First I’m going to deliver your Child Safe Kit and no-cost benefits, and then I’m
going to go over the additional benefits that you’re entitled to if you qualify. It’s a two-part program—the
first part protects your kids when something happens to them, and the second part of the program
protects your kids when something happens to you. My company, American Income, works with over
20,000 different unions, credit unions, and associations handling their additional benefits. Because of
American Income’s relationship with the International Union of Police Associations, you have access to
the same exclusive benefits that groups like police officers and firefighters have had access to for years.
This quick video will give you a quick introduction to the company. CLICK ON PRESENTATION TYPE,
PLAY THE INTRO VIDEO BUT SKIP “GIVING BACK”

CHILDSAFE ID KIT: Joe and Mary, here’s your no-cost ChildSafe ID Kit. I’m sure you know families
with children, right? (Wait for response) This kit provided by American Income is one of the most
comprehensive on the market and gives the police what they need to help find a missing child. You can
only get these by a visit from someone like me. (if they have children) I have one of these for each of
your children. (Show and explain the Kit) PRESS CONTINUE, SKIP NO COST & THE REFERRAL
VIDEOS AND GO TO THE REFERRAL INPUT SCREEN (REFERRALS MUST GO IN LAPTOP)

Every time you turn on the news you hear about human trafficking, a kidnapping, or a child running away
from home. If something happened to one of the children that you know, wouldn’t you want their parents
to have this kit? (wait for response) Through our partnership as the endorsed company by the
International Union of Police Associations to handle this program, you’ll be able to get this kit out to up to
10 families that have children. Who is the first family we can get these kits to? (shoot for 10)

HEALTH SERVICES DISCOUNT CARD: Joe and Mary, this is the no-cost Health Services Discount
Card. Since group benefits can change or be taken away, this no-cost benefit will help by giving you up
to a 60% discount on (point to all services) vision care, prescription drugs, hearing aids, and chiropractic
services. This brochure has all of the enrollment information including the toll-free number and the
website which will answer any of your questions. I’ll leave this for you…you can check it out after I leave.

AD&D CERTIFICATE: The next no-cost benefit is the Accidental Death and Dismemberment benefit.
[example: $2,000 AD&D] Joe, this is a living benefit that pays you $1,000 for the loss of one hand, one
foot, or sight in one eye; and double that amount, or $2,000 for the loss of any two. Mary, for you, this is
a death benefit that would pay you $2,000 should Joe die accidentally. Now I know that $2,000 isn’t all
the money in the world, but if Joe died, I’m sure you can see how that would help, right? (wait for
response) Now, Mary, go ahead and sign here acknowledging the benefits and that you are the
beneficiary. And Joe, sign here acknowledging the benefit and that Mary is the beneficiary.

RESPONDING TO OBJECTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION
How long is this going to take?
It doesn’t take too long. For me…the shorter the better because I have to see a member every hour on
the hour and they have me running around like crazy. You’re going to love what they set up for you and I
want to make sure you understand everything you’re entitled to...could we use your kitchen table? It will
make things go a lot quicker…

Are you going to try to sell me something?


Let me tell you exactly what my job is to do…my job is to deliver and explain your benefits, answer any
questions you have, and make sure you understand what you are entitled to…you do what you want
with the information. You’re going to love what they set up for you…could we use your kitchen table? It
will make things a lot easier for me…

If this is about insurance, forget about it


ChildSafe: Did you read the information that you received in the confirmation after you signed up for the
kits? Union: Were you at the meeting where they talked about the program? (wait for response) That
explains where some of the confusion might come from. My job is deliver and explain your benefits,
answer any questions you have, and make sure you understand what you are entitled to…you do what
you want with the information. You’re going to love what they set up for you…could we use your kitchen
table? It will make things a lot easier for me…

I just want to sign the information for the free stuff


OK, great…that makes my job really easy. If it’s OK with you, since I’ve come all the way out here and I
want to make sure you don’t miss anything, what I can do is have you sign for the no-cost benefits, and
then give you the quick version of the benefits you’re entitled to, that way you will know what’s been set
up. You do what you want with the information. This will make things a lot easier for me too because
they have me running around like crazy. You’re going to love what they set up for you…if you don’t
mind, let’s use your kitchen table that will make things move a lot quicker.

RESPONDING TO COMMON OBJECTIONS THE REFERRAL PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION


I’m not comfortable giving out people’s information
I can understand how you feel…as a matter of fact a lot of members have felt that way. It’s difficult to
know which companies you can trust and which you can’t. But, let me ask you, do you think 20,000
groups would choose one insurance company over all of the others to advise their members if they
didn’t trust that company? (wait for response) Of course not! You received a letter and when you
received that letter you returned a card. The people you sponsor into the program will receive a phone
call instead of a letter, and they can choose if this is right for. Let’s give them the option to decide for
their family if this is something that they want…if they are not interested that’s OK but what I have found
is that the members that are sponsored into the program love the program even more because they
normally wouldn’t be able to get it. Now…you said you had a brother? Let’s start with him…

Still not comfortable


OK Joe…I get that you are unsure about sponsoring these people into the program. Let’s do this…let’s
at least get them sponsored in…the sponsorship is tied to my visit with you…and I will call you first
before I call them. I will ask you to just give them a heads up that I will be calling and if any of them don’t
want to be bothered I won’t contact them…no questions asked. Let’s at least give them the chance to
decide for themselves. If it’s OK with you…let’s start with your brother…you said his name was?...

Vasu Agency // Laptop Presentation 2017-12-04 FINAL // Page 18 (Dollar amounts shown vary for different presentations; these are for illustration) // For Training Purposes
One more thing I need to do is to put two emergency contacts on here, in the event you were to die
together in a common accident. It would be wise if they were local, over the age of 18, and living outside
your home. Who is your first emergency contact? Your second? (write the names of the emergency
contacts, phone number, city, and relationship on the AD&D certificate which you will leave for them,
or on the back/bottom of the green gift certificate AD&D)

AD&D REFERRALS: Joe and Mary, I need your help. Can you help me with something? (Yes)
American Income gives me 10 Life Insurance Certificates that they let me use for families you introduce
me to. I’m asking you for an introduction. This doesn’t cost you or them anything. Worst case scenario,
they get more insurance and you helped me out. Everyone always gives these to their emergency
contacts since they are closest to them, so aside from them, let’s get this to at least 3 more people you
know. You mentioned… (give examples of people and be assumptive—shoot for 5)

HOMEWORK: Please make sure you give the families you extended the no-cost benefits to a call or a
text, letting them know that I will be getting in contact with them in the next few days. (Fill out homework
sheet and send text that they can forward to families they referred)

TRANSITION INTO THE BENEFITS AND THE LIST OF CONCERNS (50%)


LIST OF CONCERNS (use appropriate list of concerns): The reason that this is a two-part program is
that right now, families are dealing with some serious gaps in their coverage. That’s why this was
important enough to send me out here personally to review this with you. The first concern is…

AFFORDABILITY TIE DOWN: The last concern is affordability. We sit down with people making $7 an
hour and some making $47 an hour. Some are working tons of overtime, and some are laid off. They
wanted this to be affordable for everybody. Joe, let’s imagine your boss comes up to you tomorrow at
work and tells you that because business has been good, the company is going to start paying you for
41 hours instead of 40. Now, with that one hour, are you and Mary going to go buy matching Ferraris?
Start construction on your dream home? (wait for response) Of course not! Now on the flip side, let’s say
your boss comes up to you and tells you that things are a little slow, but instead of laying you or your co-
workers off, they would just send everyone home an hour early on Friday. So, you would be working 39
hours instead of 40. Would you have to get rid of cable? Cancel dentist appointments for the kids? Take
food off the table? (wait for response) Exactly! A one hour adjustment doesn’t really change anything.

MEMBER SURVEY: SKIP INTRO TO LIFE INSURANCE VIDEO AND GO TO MEMBER SURVEY This
is the final no-cost benefit, the Needs Analysis. I’m going to ask you some questions. If there is no need,
it won’t make a recommendation. If there is a need, I will review the recommendations with you. (ask all
of the questions on the member survey but input $0 for Whole Life, Term, and Group Coverage; make
sure to click NON-INFLATION OPTION and click “Continue”)

MANDATORY READ-OFF LETTER: Before I review your areas of concern, I have this Mandatory
Read-Off Letter for you which explains how the enrollment process works. (turn the screen toward the
members or preferably use their letter if possible and have a ‘between you and me’ moment) Joe and
Mary, instead of reading this whole thing, let me just summarize it for you…

What it’s basically saying is that…if…as I’m going through the benefits, you’re nodding your head
(visibly nod your head) thinking, “Wow, these are some great benefits…and I can see why they
approved this and why everyone is doing this,” go ahead and apply today while I’m out here. On the flip
side, if I’m going through the benefits and you’re thinking to yourself, “You know, these really are great
benefits but they don’t fill a need for me and my family right now,” then I’m actually going to ask you
NOT to apply. Either way, yes or no, that decision does have to be made today, during your service
Vasu Agency // Laptop Presentation 2017-12-04 FINAL // Page 2 (Dollar amounts shown vary for different presentations; these are for illustration) // For Training Purposes
period, in fairness to all the other people waiting to enroll. They could do it this way because everything
has already been checked, rechecked, and approved by over 20,000 groups that set this up to be a no-
brainer for their members. It’s going to be an easy yes or no. Does that make sense?

Whatever you decide to do, they still want your opinion on this Officer Report Form, which is sort of like
my report card (show the form). So, it’s important that you listen and ask questions. Joe, will you
promise to stop me if you have any questions? Mary? You too? (Make sure they are tied down)

MEMBER BENEFITS (75%) – FILL OUT THE TWO-JOB WORKSHEET AS YOU GO


INTRODUCTION TO THE TWO-JOB WORKSHEET: So, let me review your options using an
illustration. Let’s say that at your current jobs (combine total income for the household)…we will call this
Job A. With Job A, you are making $1,050 per week and you get your normal group benefits. Imagine
that tomorrow you go into work and another job opens up. We will call this Job B. With this job you get
the exact same group benefits, you have the same responsibilities, same co-workers and everything.
But with Job B, you’re making $1,020 per week, or about one hour’s wage difference, which, like you
said before, would be pretty much the same. But…that one hour is going to eliminate all your concerns.
SKIP TO THE FINAL OFFER SCREEN

**WRITE IN THE BENEFIT AMOUNTS AS YOU GO, AS WELL AS ‘0’ ON THE “JOB A” SIDE**

FINAL EXPENSE BENEFIT: The first concern has to do with your funeral and final expenses. There’s a
100% chance your family will need this. I’m going to let this video explain. SHOW FOC VIDEO American
Income is going to provide you with $15,000 for this need. The Freedom of Choice Certificate (show
certificates) has been set up to take care of this burden for your family. (explain spouse benefit if
applicable) They are using whole life insurance to fund your Freedom of Choice that way it’s there
when—not if, your family needs it. This helps to protect any existing insurance and savings your family
has. Right now, with your current job, you don’t have this.

INCOME PROTECTION: Obviously, Mary, when Joe dies you’re going to miss him, but after a few
weeks go by, you’ll be missing his paycheck too. So, American Income is going to provide $180,000
when that happens. Mary, this would give you and the children $3,000 for 60 months to replace Joe’s
income. (explain spouse benefit if applicable) This would be reviewed, renewed, and updated every 10
years. Mary, having 5 years of income would be huge at that time, right? (wait for response)

MORTGAGE PROTECTION: (usually funded by ADB, but sometimes Term) Besides their income, the
next thing people want secured for their family is their home. American Income is going to give you
$100,000 of coverage for this. If you were to die during your working years, it’d probably be due to an
accident so to help give you the most value, this is funded by an accidental death benefit. Right now with
your current job, you don’t have that.

CHILDREN’S EDUCATION: (usually funded by ADB, but sometimes Term) The next concern had to do
with your children’s future education. If you died unexpectedly in an accident, American Income is going
to provide $100,000 or $50,000 for each of your 2 children. This money will be set up to give your
children a head start in life. Obviously with your current job, you don’t have that.

CHILD RIDER: Also included is a special $10,000 life insurance plan for all of your children, 18 and
younger, that qualify. When they turn 21 they can convert this to 5 times that amount, or $50,000 of
permanent life insurance with no health questions. Your kids will thank you for having the foresight to get
this set up for them.

Vasu Agency // Laptop Presentation 2017-12-04 FINAL // Page 3 (Dollar amounts shown vary for different presentations; these are for illustration) // For Training Purposes
CO-PAY, DEDUCTIBLE, AND LOST WAGES BENEFIT: Add Double A71000 benefit but No
Recouperation Benefit The next benefit helps take care of some income concerns if you are in an
accident or get injured. This benefit will pay you up to $100 every time you go in for a bump, bruise, or a
bee sting—any type of accident or injury. If you are overnight in the hospital it pays you $200 per day
and double that for intensive care, or $400 per day. If you’re in the hospital, what are you not doing?
(Working) If you aren’t working, you’re not making what? (Money) Do bills still come in? (Yes) Exactly;
with this benefit if you were injured on or off the job and you were in the hospital for 5 days, it would pay
you $1,000. With your current job all you get are bills and income loss. On top of that, this benefit will
pay $10,000 for the loss of a hand, a foot, or sight in one eye, and double that, or $20,000 for the loss of
any two. Right now with your current job, you don’t have any of these benefits.

RETIREMENT FUND FOR UNEXPECTED ACCIDENTAL DEATH (A71000 ADB): If you died in an
accident, this would catch your family off guard and stop your pension and social security accumulation.
So with this benefit the surviving spouse or the children receive an additional $20,000-$100,000 that
pays out immediately depending on the type of accident. This benefit is set up for both of you- that way
you are both protected. Right now with your current job, you don’t have that.

TERMINAL ILLNESS RIDER: Another important feature of this program is that if you are diagnosed with
a terminal illness such as cancer you can access half of your Freedom of Choice and Income Protection
benefit while you’re alive (half of the whole life and term insurance). The remainder will be paid out to
your family. Joe, you’ll have $97,500, and Mary, you’ll have $34,500 available to you to put your family
in the best financial situation before you die. Right now with your current job, you have $0.

PERMANENT AND PORTABLE, STRIKE AND LAY-OFF PROOF: American Income has been around
for almost 70 years and has an A+ Financial Rating. Unlike your group benefits which you can lose,
these benefits are permanent and portable. If you leave your job or retire, you keep these. In addition, if
you are on a qualified lay off they will cover the benefits for you for 3 months and if you happen to be
involved in a strike, the benefits are covered for up to 12 months so you don’t lose them.

CLOSE, ENROLLMENT CHECKLISTS, AND SOLIDIFICATION (100%)


TWO-JOB OPTION CLOSE: Joe, if you went into work tomorrow and you had a choice between Job A
and Job B, which job would you take? (wait for response) Why would you do that if you’re making more
money over here? (point to their current job and wait for response) That’s what everyone says. They set
this up to be a no-brainer.

Now what I have just gone over with you is what the Benefit Software suggests as the basic plan to
handle your concerns. There’s one more option you could choose if you qualify: it’s recommending you
move to a “Preferred” Freedom of Choice benefit of $31,000 to protect your family from inflation
increases. This actually gets you a better rate. It’s only an extra $12 per week to add the inflation
adjustment. Do you want to start with the basic program for an hour’s wage, or $30 per week? Or do
you want to do a little more for your family and get the inflation protection built in for $42 per week?
(wait for response) OK, that’s smart…that’s exactly what I would do. Like I said before, you do need to
qualify for these benefits so I need to ask you a few health questions to see where you’re at…(begin
asking health questions on the back of the QR)

AFTER THE HEALTH QUESTIONS (Q-R CHECKLIST): OK, I’m not the underwriter, but based on what
I’m seeing here it looks like you should be able to qualify for the benefits. (Take out Q-R Checklist and
go right into the Q-R) OK guys, this is the Q-R Checklist which is a mandatory checklist that we review
with all of the members; it explains the enrollment process. The first thing the checklist talks about is the
way the benefits are handled… (complete the Q-R checklist and the rest of the application process)
Vasu Agency // Laptop Presentation 2017-12-04 FINAL // Page 4 (Dollar amounts shown vary for different presentations; these are for illustration) // For Training Purposes
For POS: I gave the referrals last time
OK, great…actually those are the families we want to start with. They probably already have coverage
with American Income and they are probably due for their review. For POS referrals, it’s best to say this
proactively… “Let’s start with the families you sponsored in last time because they probably already
have coverage with us…”

FEEL, FELT, FOUND METHOD FOR RESPONDING TO OBJECTIONS


Let’s say a member says something like, “You know Jim, if you’re here about insurance, you can just
forget about it I don’t want to hear about it.” This is how I would use this response:

“Well you know, Joe, I understand how you feel. A lot of members have felt that way, but when they
found out about the benefits that have already been implemented for them and the other benefits that
they can possibly be eligible for, they are actually pretty excited about the visit and the time that we
spend. This won’t take long. My job is just to give you some information and to go over everything that
you may be eligible for. You listen to it and you can do exactly what you want. All I need you to do is
listen. Does that make sense?”

The Feel-Felt-Found method can be used in almost every response to a member objection. The
important thing is just explaining that, hey…agreeing with them…not coming up against them, but just
saying, “hey, I understand how you feel” and then kind of relating it to other members as well so we don’t
feel isolated, you know “A lot of members have felt that way”, but then going to the next level is where
the transition is. Explain to the them, “But once they found out” and say whatever it is that you’re trying
to explain to them, and then explaining how excited that they were, or appreciative they were, of what’s
been done for them.

It works wonderful, it’s just an amazing transition of statements that will get you from where you’re at,
which is nowhere, to actually along the road together, with the member, hand in hand.

RESPONDING TO THE AFFORDABILITY OBJECTION


Response #1
I can understand that. It’s difficult nowadays to make ends meet. Every time it seems we’re just about to
get caught up another bill comes up to put us back in the hole. But when you think about it, over the
years, when anything ever did come up you’ve been able to make whatever adjustments were necessary
to keep food on the table and heat in the winter time for your family. A lot of times families take you for
granted. But you’re the man that gets up everyday, goes to work, and brings the money home to take
care of things and make ends meet. The only thing that could ever prevent this from happening is if all of
a sudden you aren’t here anymore. All of a sudden that income that we all took for granted is cut off
forever. And that is the adjustment that you won’t be here to make and your family couldn’t possibly
make. Sure this $_______/wk is another adjustment to make, but just treat it as if Uncle Sam just
increased your taxes. You’re here and you can make it as you always do to prevent your wife and family
from being faced with an adjustment they couldn’t possibly make.

Money Machine Analogy


Now Joe and Mary, I don’t know about you guys, but whenever I check out of Best Buy and I get
something they always ask me if I want the warranty. I usually decline it, but let’s imagine that you had a
machine in your house that printed out $4,000 a month (legally of course) every month. Would you
spend $20-30 a week on a warranty that would make sure if the machine broke down the $4,000 a
month would keep coming into the home? (Wait for their response) Yea I would too! You might not have
ever thought of it that way, but you are that machine…and this is the warranty (point to benefit package),

Vasu Agency // Laptop Presentation 2017-12-04 FINAL // Page 19 (Dollar amounts shown vary for different presentations; these are for illustration) // For Training Purposes
for about 3 cents on the dollar. Basically, the idea is taking your first hour Monday Morning and setting
that aside for your family…and with that hour you get all of these benefits.

Because they wanted this to be affordable for every family that we saw they actually came up with two
options: Option 1, which provides the benefits at about an hour’s wage per week, or $______ a
week…and that comes to $______ a month, or Option 2, which provides the same benefits but with
inflation protection built in. Which option works best for you?

I have a lot of obligations right now and we just added more


Yea, it’s probably going to be pretty tough for a while. But, you know, you are going to continue working
as you always have in the past and eventually you’re going to get that paid off. In the past I’m certain
that you’ve had other major bills that came up. But as long as you kept working, you got those bills paid.
But there’s one thing that can prevent you from paying this bill or any other bills and that is if something
happened to you. That is not just going to be tough, but it will be impossible. Why don’t you take this
program just to guarantee whether you’re here or not that your family will be able to pay these bills?

Holiday Close
Now I know that it’s Christmas time and there are gifts to be bought and it seems always funds are short
this time of year. But Joe this is probably the best present you could get your loved ones. I am sure if
you wrapped the policy up and put it under the tree, you won’t get all the hugs and kisses the toys will
get you. But really…do they even remember what you got them last year…I bet not. This is the most
unselfish gift, the most valuable you can give them…it is something that will not get you all the hoopla,
but as a parent sometimes we have to do what’s best, not what’s popular. Like I said, the wrapped gifts
they won’t remember, with this policy, if something happens, they’ll never forget.

RESPONDING TO THE “THINK ABOUT IT” OBJECTION


Response #1
(Relax first...show visibly that you are relaxed...i.e. sit back in your chair and say, "That's fine")

No problem. I understand where you’re at. The only thing is though, like I said before; they wanted us to
do this on an enrollment basis…like your letter said.

They figured they could do it this way because they already checked everything out and approved it for
the members. You know the Company is A+ rated, 100% union (only say this if they like unions or are in
a union) and over 20,000 other unions, credit unions, and associations have approved this as well. The
insurance benefits have been checked and rechecked and these are the ones your entitled to and
eligible for. I mean you do what you want, but the main thing is getting in on the benefits...BUT KEEPING
IT COMFORTABLE! Remember it is member owned. So, if it ever becomes uncomfortable for you down
the road, you could always change it later...make sense? Most members are enrolling at the basic level,
is that comfortable or would you want to adjust it a bit?

Response #2
I can understand that… a lot of members feel that way. But we try to explain, as I mentioned before, that
we are only supposed to see each member once each enrollment; and our enrollments run about three
or four years. Now, I know how much you like this program and how much your family needs it so I
wouldn’t want to take anything away from you. I’m sure you didn’t mind the fact that if anything happens
to you, Mary and the kids will get an extra $25,000 or $50,000. If this was offered to you free, I’m sure
you would jump at it. So really, it’s a matter of whether $______ per week is actually comfortable for you.
Do you feel $_____ per week would take food off the table?

Vasu Agency // Laptop Presentation 2017-12-04 FINAL // Page 20 (Dollar amounts shown vary for different presentations; these are for illustration) // For Training Purposes
POS I want to think about it
I understand where you’re at. Because you are a policyholder already, you can have someone from our
company visit you whenever you want. So in this case, it’s true that you can have some time to think
about it. Unfortunately, the problem is, that the person that would come out to see you couldn’t be me
since I’m not an agent listed on this policy. They have me running around like crazy and I’m only allowed
to stop by once for a service visit unless I have a relationship with the client. The fact that you’re thinking
about it tells me that you see the value in the program, but maybe we just need to adjust it a little bit? I
don’t want you to have to go through all of this again, so while I’m out here why don’t we get some of the
adjustments made, and then down the road you can call me anytime you want and as long as your
health hasn’t changed we can make further adjustments. Now, did you want to start with the
improvements we talked about or did you want to adjust it a little bit to make it more affordable?

If they still want to think about it…


"Just for the records, do you feel that if something did happen that this program would be helpful for the
family?"

“Well, you know they have me running like crazy, like I told you...and people are already calling from
other cities wanting to get involved and we can't seem to get out to them. And you know, as I said, the
program is member owned, so once you’re enrolled this is yours...you can do what you want with it. So if
$ per week is comfortable for you right now...go with it...it's yours, you could always change it later.
Make sense?”

What do you think honey?


(Say to the one being asked the question) Well, you must be the one who handles the budget....
remember the main thing is getting in on the insurance benefits but keep it comfortable. Most members
are enrolling at this level, is that comfortable or would you rather start with less?"

An Elongated Hesitation…
Just because you are hesitating so long, I don’t think it’s a good idea you do it at this level. Again, the
important thing is getting in on the benefits but keeping it comfortable. So let’s do this…we will keep
most of the benefits in tact as you really need them, we’ll just adjust the amounts a bit and that will bring
it down to $______ per week…does that make better sense right now?

Walk Out Close


“Folks, I need to grab something out of my car. Why don’t you take a minute and talk about what you
want to do and I’ll be back in a minute. This will give you a chance to talk.” This should work almost
every time in your favor. You see, many times the people feel pressure because you are there and they
feel uncomfortable talking in front of you. Leaving the home to get something or to get your next
appointment so you could call them, will take the pressure off and allow the people to relax and talk.
This should help them to make a decision that will fit their needs.

RESPONDING TO THE “I HAVE ENOUGH INSURANCE” OR “I DON’T NEED IT” OBJECTION


Response #1
I can understand that; if you had $75,000 or $100,000 of insurance that would seem like a lot of money.
In fact, if we were to stack that much money on this table I don’t know how high that would be. But when
you talk about your income, something we just take for granted, being gone forever, all of a sudden it
doesn’t seem like that much. For example, your income right now is about $40,000 a year and you’ve
been earning that for about the last 5 years. Now that’s about $200,000. How much of that do you have
left? You see if something happened to you 5 years ago, your family right now would be faced with -
what do we sell first or what government line do we stand in? You see it’s very difficult to have enough

insurance. Your family always needs more but you can only do what you can do. So it’s a matter of
comfortability. Would this $30 a week be comfortable for you or would you rather adjust it?

Goose and the Golden Egg


Joe, if you had a goose that laid golden eggs…would you want to protect the goose that was making the
eggs or would you protect the eggs? (wait for answer) Of course…the goose. When you think about
it…you are the goose and you have been laying golden eggs for your family. As long as you are here,
you will make money…with that money you will provide a home for your family, money to live on, cars,
education for your children, etc. You have all of those things protected…car insurance, homeowners
insurance…you might even have insurance on your cell phone. You probably take yourself for granted
and you don’t think about how valuable you are…but it doesn’t make sense to protect the eggs and not
the goose. You are the goose to the family…that’s why this program is so important. The expert
simulator exposed a clear need for the benefits…the main thing is getting in on the benefits but keeping
it comfortable. Most members go with Option 1 for their family…but if you want to start with something
more affordable…go with Option 2 and get your foot in the door. Which option makes more sense?

I’m insurance poor


Boy, aren’t we all. Health insurance, car insurance, home insurance… we all have plenty of these. In
fact, we wouldn’t be without our car insurance or home insurance because we can perceive something
happening to our car or to our home…and that would be devastating. But when you think about it, the
most important thing is our income, because that is what enabled us to get all these things in the first
place. You can always replace a car or a home as you are still working and paying the bills. But if
something happens to you, your income is gone forever and can never be replaced. Now, frankly, I don’t
like paying insurance premiums either, but let me tell you something, it’s the only way that I know where I
can guarantee that if something happens to me, my family is still going to be taken care of. And I’m sure,
when we think about it, we all want extra money for our families if we’re not here to take care of them. So
it’s pretty much a matter of comfortability, is $____ per week comfortable or should we adjust it a bit?

We have plenty of insurance and my spouse doesn’t need the extra money
Well, that could be true, Joe. Fact is that she may not need it. But, you know, if she doesn’t need it she
can always use the money to take a trip or send the kids to a better college or something like that. I’m
sure you wouldn’t mind that. But you know, extra bills and the uncertainty in life, there’s a chance, just a
chance, that she may need it… and I will guarantee you that the $30,000 she would get if she does need
it will mean a heck of a lot more to her at that time than the $5 means to you guys right now. So, really,
it’s just a matter of comfortability. It’s just $5 a week, is that going to take food off the table or change
your lifestyle any?

I don’t think we need this right now


Well actually you don’t…who does…everything is good now. The problem is when something happens
is when your family will desperately need it…and who knows when that will be. It’s like why buy a fire
extinguisher when your house is not on fire. Well when the fire starts it’s too late to think about buying
one. This is the kind of thing you could only buy when you don’t need it. Believe me what $___ per week
means to you right now is no comparison to what these benefits would mean to your family when the fire
starts. Does that make sense? (after getting an affirmative answer) Yea that is what most of the
members are saying as well...the only thing though is you still have to qualify for it so I need to ask you
some questions.

I have group benefits so I don’t need these


Vasu Agency // Laptop Presentation 2017-12-04 FINAL // Page 22 (Dollar amounts shown vary for different presentations; these are for illustration) // For Training Purposes
I understand where you’re coming from. Actually, you’re right…your group has set up some great
benefits for you guys. A lot of members that I see wish they had benefits as good as yours. The thing is,
though, that you own those group benefits about as much as you own your job. While you might have
group benefits today, it doesn’t mean that you will have them at retirement, next year, or even next
week. You know, it isn’t money that buys these benefits, but it’s your health. If your group benefits
change, become unaffordable, or are taken away, you will be underinsured and you might not qualify for
the benefits because your health has changed, or as you get older these become much more expensive.
It’s better to have the benefits and not need them because later on in life it will allow you to have a more
comfortable retirement and save you a lot of money in the process. If you don’t enroll in the benefits and
you end up needing them, you will be leaving your family in a financial situation they can’t handle. The
most important thing is to get your foot in the door and get started on something comfortable for your
family. They came up with two options that way it will fit with any budget…Option 1 which is the basic
program…or did you want to do a little bit more and go for the inflation option?

OTHER COMMON OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO THOSE OBJECTIONS


The insurance company is just betting I won’t die, it’s all a gamble
I know what you mean, but when you think about it, the real gamble is if you think this way and do not
have a program. Because the gamble is that if you don’t have insurance, you’re putting your family on
the roulette table. If something happens to you, they are the loser. The only sure bet is insurance,
because this way you can be assured that if anything does happen to you, you are guaranteeing that
they are all going to have this to help them carry on. Consider it a gamble, or whatever you want, but
insurance is the only way that I can have money here for my family if I’m not able to be here… that’s the
important thing. So, really, it’s just a matter of whether $_____ per week is comfortable or not.

I would rather just put the money into savings


I can understand that. Most of the members I see like to save. And the reason you want to put money
into savings or investments is because it’s a great way to be able to save for the future so one day you
and your family will be able to do those things that American families are supposed to do. And the only
thing that can prevent that is if something happens to you. So why shouldn’t your family have those
things anyways…those good intentions of yours? That’s why the protection part of the program is being
offered, so that it becomes an either-or situation. If you complete your saving plans you’ll have the
money you want. If something happens to you, your family will have this money. That’s the way you
would want it, right?

I want to talk to my Financial Advisor (or Insurance Person) first


I could understand that…we all need advice in this complicated world. And your financial advisor is
probably a great guy and knows his stuff. But when you think about it, he is in business to make money.
And the way he makes money is through commission… by selling financial products and insurance. So I
guarantee you, if you call him, no matter what this deal is for you, he will have other suggestions…his
suggestions…again he makes a commission. So please remember his opinion will be a bit biased.
When they set this up, over 20,000 unions, credit unions, and associations looked at and chose this
program over any other. And each group has their own financial adviser and/or insurance
representative. And the group’s only job is to protect the members interests…there is no ulterior motive
other than that. So again, your financial guy may be a great guy, but wouldn’t it be better to take the
advice of over 20,000 ‘unbiased financial advisors’ over ‘one biased’?

What I would do, since this seems to be of great need and value to you right now and if something
happened today, your family would be so happy you got it…is to enroll in this…this as far as you know is
the best deal right now…the only one on the table…that way you have it in place for your family. Then, if
you ever find something else you think is better…run it by us first to make sure, and if it is, more power

Always validate when you
think you are done with
page 1&2 to see if there are
any more errors.

Never want to move on to the


Questionnaires (past page 1&2) until
you validate, and no errors are found.
_____ HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? The enrollment process usually takes anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks.
IF APPROVED You will receive your policies in the mail and a congratulatory letter welcoming you to AIL.
IF DENIED You will receive today’s deposit back and you may write to American Income to request an explanation.

_____WHAT COMES NEXT Obviously with these benefits you are conditionally covered from the moment our
call ends, so the first bank draft happens immediately within 24-48 hours of the application. Your bank may
not reflect the draft for up to 10 days, so please ensure the funds stay in there in order to ensure your
coverage. Your first premium is $________ (explain policy fee if applicable). Items we need to complete the
application process. (1) Driver’s license (2) Doctor’s information (3) Any Meds taken (4) Checkbook or Bank
Information (Routing / Account Numbers)

_____ HEALTH RISKS At some point in everyone’s life they become uninsurable and would be declined for
insurance. This is usually due to either age, health, or habits. Once you are uninsurable you typically can’t get
insurance again. If you are approved, there are three possible outcomes. First, you could be approved standard
due to having minor or no health issues. The second option is that that we can fall somewhere in between perfect
health and the uninsurable line. Because the groups we work with want everyone to be approved, they created a
category called “Special Risk” where the program would be a few dollars more per month. In this category, you
would pay exactly what someone else would pay for the same health profile. Obviously, the closer you are to the
uninsurable line, the more the program would be. Think of this like car insurance—someone with a perfect driving
record wouldn’t pay the same as someone that had a lot of speeding tickets. The third option is the counter offer.
They make this offer for someone that they may not have covered in the past, as a last chance to get covered. If the
program comes back different than what we discussed, I will call you and let you know. If that happened, would the
few extra dollars be a problem for you?

_____ CHECK UP AND FOLLOW UP PHONE CALLS You may receive one or more phone calls asking to review
the questions I have asked to ensure that everything is accurate on your application. In order to approve your policy,
