Simple Intro Script (Auto/Home)

  1. "Hey Mom/Dad/Cousin, want to save money on car insurance?"
  2. Give them the 800-number, your last name and rep code.
  3. Follow-up next day: “Did you make the call?” – persistence required.
  4. If savings not found: remind them to retry in 6 mo.

Cross-Sell: Will, Living Trust & PLPP

  • After insurance quote ask: “Do you have a will or living trust?”
  • High probability of "No" (esp. married, kids, homeowners).
  • Offer Pre-Paid Legal Protection Plan (PLPP) as affordable solution.
  • Workflow:
    1. Go to Products ➜ “Other Product” ➜ PLPP.
    2. Download “Will Questionnaire” (English PDF).
    3. Help client fill items #19–20 (asset list) using bank/mutual-fund statements.
  • Opportunity: Identifying cash earning ≈2 % and upselling higher-yield investments.

Financial Needs & Asset Discovery

  • Statements reveal low-yield money – transition to Primerica investments.
  • Trainer demonstrates how to move funds from 2 % to higher rates.
  • Observation → Duplication: watch trainer, become trainer.

Trainer Path & Fast-Start Philosophy

  • Pass Life & Securities, BUT run appointments simultaneously.
  • Goal: ≥10 appointments/month, watch & learn.
  • Chain-of-Representation transfers clients to you once licensed.
  • Long-term vision: build competent trainers, duplicate Mario/Barragán system (16 k licenses in one year).

Warm vs Cold Market Prospecting

Warm Market (Friends/Family)

  • Use e-T-H-O-R framework:
    Excited
    Training
    Help
    Opinion
    Referral
  • Sample call to Mr. Queen:
    "Uncle, I need your help. I’m in training and value your opinion. Could we meet Wed @ 6 pm or Thu @ 8 pm with my trainer?"
    – Book spouse present; give two date/time options.

Business Opportunity Script (Peers)

  • “Christian, are you keeping your income options open?”
  • Invite to Opportunity Meeting / Zoom; stress partnership & credibility (“I wouldn’t join if it wasn’t good”).
  • Indirect cold-market approach in public: “We’re expanding, know anyone wanting extra income?” ➜ Exchange numbers ➜ Set interview.
  • Embrace “No”; one or two “Yes” scale business.

CRM Usage

  • POL ➜ CRM ➜ “Last Contact” to enter all ~100 phone contacts.
  • Enter email + mobile to trigger automated campaigns:
    • Referral
    • Birthday
    • Opportunity
  • System sends emails/texts; prospects reply; you schedule Zoom/in-person.

Ethical / Urgency Stories

  • Friend delayed, prospect shot by stray bullet → family left unprotected.
  • Sister’s death claim delivered at 54 – reinforces mission.
  • Moral: procrastination hurts families; duty to protect NOW.

Life Insurance Quoting (TurboApps)

  1. POL ➜ TurboApps ➜ “Quotes”.
  2. Enter height, weight, DOB, tobacco status.
  3. Product types:
    • Power Term = Non-medical
    • Precision Term = Medical (cheaper if labs passed).
  4. Coverage guideline:
    \text{Death Benefit}=\text{Annual Income}\times8\text{–}10
  5. Rider: Waiver of Premium (if disabled, premiums waived).
  6. Quote example (Age 49, female, $10 k/mo income):
    • 35-yr term, $1.2 M ➜ \$385\,/\text{mo}
    • 20-yr term lowers to \$183\,/\text{mo}.
  7. Use “Payment Table” for incremental face amounts.
  8. Print quote (omit agent comp). Include contact info.

Compensation Math – Life, Auto/Home, Securities

Life Insurance

  • Advance: 75 % of 1st-yr commission fronted (must stay 13 mo to avoid charge-back).
  • Hierarchy example (face $1 M @ $183.76/mo):
    • Annualized premium: 183.76\times12=\$2{,}205.
    • At Rep code: \approx\$154 per policy.
    • Promotion doubles pay: District Leader (3×3) earns \approx\$308.

Auto & Home

  • Referral check ≈\$100 per switch.
    5{,}000\$\ goal\; /\;200\$ = 25\;switches to hit \$5 k.

Securities (after licenses)

  • Dealer allowance (example) 5\,%.
  • District Leader grid = 35 %.
  • Payout formula:
    \text{Commission}=\text{Investment}\times0.05\times0.35
  • Example: 1{,}000{,}000\times0.05\times0.35=\$17{,}500 on one rollover (1.75 %).

Licensing Road-Map

  1. Fingerprinting (prerequisite).
  2. Life/Health – already in progress.
  3. Securities (3 exams):
    • SIE (75 Qs) – must pass first.
    • Series 6 (Fed).
    • Series 63 (State).
    – If SIE failed, study & take 63 during 60-day wait.
  4. Free Kaplan prep via POL ➜ Securities Licensing ➜ Webinars & quizzes.
  5. \$1{,}000 bonus for passing securities quickly.

Promotion & Ownership Ladder

  • 3 Recruits + $3 k Premium = District Leader (DL).
  • Continue team/production ➜ Regional VP (RVP).
  • Ownership perks: stock grants & equity – unique vs traditional jobs.
  • Vision: reach RVP by 2027 Atlanta Convention (2 yrs).
    Income target 200\text{–}300\,k.

Prospecting Metrics Example

  • Goal: 8 appointments/week ×4 weeks ×3 mo = 96.
  • Assume 25 % conversion ➜ 24 clients/teammates.
  • Each duplicates process ➜ exponential growth.

Practical Tips & Best Practices

  • Dress business-professional; project credibility.

  • Use “field training bonus” tables for low-premium youth policies.
  • For impaired risks (leukemia, etc.) send C.O.D. to protect QBI.
