ok final expense agents, i just have one question.How would you approach seniors about final expense. Where i live there are a lot of seniors at the community center mall.This is what i was thinking to say when i go to the community center mall.

Hello how are you doing today sir/mam?

My name is anthony and im in the community today bringing awareness to final expense insurance, have you ever heard of final expense insurance ?

Well great final expense is a great way to protect your family financially from high cost of a funeral. (i will show them a brochure while im talking to them) Are you aware the cost of dieing these days are pretty expensive.xyz funeral home (gpl) general price list is $7,000 and up, and thats not including a cemetery plot,limo, etc.Wouldnt you agree its a good idea to have a burial plan in place that would provide the money to cover your funeral cost? You wouldnt want to leave that burden on your family would you? Well there are several ways to pay for a funeral, having about $10,000 or more in the bank,your family can raise the money, or a collection from your neighbors and church members.I think the last thing you would want is for your family trying to find the money to pay for your funeral cost while grieving wouldnt you agree ?

How about we get together and discuss this further
How does your schedule look for tomorrow or the day after,i can show you how final expense can benefit you.

or

how about we get together tomorrow or the day after, i can give you a free quote and show you how final expense can work for you.


Please give me any feed back or something better to say.any suggestions would be appreciated.I guess what im after is having a discussion about final expense and booking some appointments to try and close them.

Yes i am new, but we all need a starting point.

It's just me but I wouldn't want you at my community center.

If there is a contact person there I would arrange it though them. If the contact approves your visit, the meeting should be informational like a lunch and learn or coffee and some type of refreshment. You can include a sign-up sheet for a follow-up if they are interested.
 
I am on the Board of Directors for our local Senior Center and I can guarantee you that if you just show up there apporaching our clients our Center Director would escort you to the door immediately.

However, if you approached her and offered to put on a seminar, she would probably agree to it as long as you did not try to sell on the premises and handled it along the line suggested by coloradoseniormarket. The idea is you have to provide value for the center before you can hope to profit from it yourself.

Thanks for your response.ok you are correct , but i think your talking about a senior center. Maybe its my fault of how i said community center. In my area there is a community mall inside a housing developement where people go . Not just seniors, it so happens that a lot of seniors frequent the place. now with that said ,how would you strike up a conversation about final expense.

It's like who farted? The key to FE is to be of service before sale...


The key to final expense is to reach people and show them they have options to pay for funeral cost with out their family being financially devastated. Im not looking at it just for commision, im looking at it to reach people by talking face to face. If you have any suggestions on how to approach and what to say than ill appreciate that. critque my conversation and not the motive you think lol

i need some people who think outside the box. if im wrong tell me , but think about people who door knock for final expense sales.its a cold lead, meaning first time talking to that person and introducing yourself and what your there for. im from abc company and im this area local agent.Your door knocking explaining about final expense.

With that said , whats wrong with approaching somebody on the street and explaining the same thing. i think its no difference.

if there is anybody who can give me some advice on what they would say if they approached somebody on the street walking by. thats all im asking. thanks guys in advance

I was taught to canvass when I entered the business 41 years ago.. I accept people knocking on my door but get very irritated when someone approaches me on the street, in the mall etc. I buy Girl Scout cookies form the girls that knock on my door but do not care to be stopped by them as I enter the WalMart to shop.. A lot of it is the psychological impression. When they knock on the door and I open it, I am standing inside the house and they are outside. When they approach me at the malls they invade my space.

There is always someone standing around the malls selling something, panhandling, etc. Instead of thinking outside the box, you may well be boxing yourself in with those folks in the minds of the people you want for prospects.

Think you'd have more success "bringing awareness" to toenail fungus.

This approach is sure to get them running...not for their checkbook, but for the door.
 
I think you would be better off with a cup and a sign "will work for food"

Why in the world would you think this would be better than buying leads or at least residential or business door knocking?
