Mortgage Protection Scripts
Below are the phone scripts for mortgage protection. There are basically two different types of leads: new leads (called “A leads”) and not so new leads (called “bonus leads” or “B leads”). The scripts are basically the same except for the intro when you’re finding out if they remember filling the form out and how you respond to their answer. Study the scripts below so you’re comfortable with them.

Final Expense
Final expense insurance is an insurance policy used to pay for funeral services and a burial when the named insured dies. Such a policy helps ease the financial burden placed on a family when a loved one dies. Final expense insurance allows the named insured to feel safe knowing that funeral-related expenses are covered regardless of the statutes of their estate at the time of death.

When to call
Because you’re getting paid for the number of appointments you set, you’ll want to call during times when you can get a hold of the most number of people. Some people are more concerned about only working Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm. The problem is that’s when other people are working too and may not answer their phone. You may book one appointment per hour if you’re only calling during those times, where you may book 3-5 appointments per hour if you’re getting a hold of more people when you’re calling. We have found, after countless hours of calling, that the BEST TIMES to call are on Friday between 2pm-8:30pm, Saturdays from 8:30am-6pm, and Sunday from 1pm-7pm. Not only are more people home, but Friday afternoon is when agents are uploading their new leads into the system so you’ll be calling the freshest leads. Don’t think that the weekends are the only times to call, because there are some people that won’t answer the phone on the weekends and will only answer during the week so it’s important to call during the week too. The most important thing to remember is you must make sure the agents are getting their target number of appointments.
