Opening and agenda

Opening

Hi prospect name, thanks for making the time. I am agent name with agency name.

Set the agenda

Here is how I would like to use our time: I will ask a few questions about your current coverage type and what matters to you, then I will share what I am seeing, and if it makes sense we will talk about options. If not, there is no pressure at all.

Permission

Does that sound good? And is there anything specific you were hoping to get out of our call today?

Opening

Hi prospect name, thanks for making the time. I am agent name with agency name.

Set the agenda

Permission

Does that sound good? And is there anything specific you were hoping to get out of our call today?

Needs discovery

When to use: Use this after setting the agenda.

Discovery questions

To recommend the right coverage type, prospect name, I need to understand your situation.

Ask

What made you start looking at your coverage now?
What are you most worried about protecting?
Has anything changed recently, a home, a car, a job, or family?
What did you like or dislike about your current policy?

Listen and reflect

Thank you, that is really helpful. It sounds like your priorities are clear, and the next step will be to see how well your current coverage matches them.

Current coverage audit

When to use: Use this to examine what they have today.

Audit the current policy

Let us look at your current coverage type together, prospect name.

Review

Who is your carrier now, and how long have you been with current carrier?
What are your current limits and deductibles?
When did you last review this policy?
Are there discounts or changes that were never applied?

Summarize

Here is what I am seeing so far. A few things look solid, and a few may be worth a closer look. The next step is to compare this against what you actually need.

Gap analysis

When to use: Use this after the coverage audit.

The gaps

Based on what you shared, here is where your coverage type may leave you exposed.

Make it real

Rather than talk in jargon, let me put it in real terms. If a common situation happened tomorrow, here is what would be covered and what would come out of your pocket. That gap is the part worth fixing.

Confirm priorities

Does that match what you are most worried about, prospect name? If so, the next step is to look at options that close that gap without overpaying.

Recommendation framing

When to use: Use this once you understand their needs and gaps.

The recommendation

prospect name, here is what I would recommend, and why it fits you specifically.

Connect it back

You told me your top priority was protecting what matters most, and that your current coverage type had a gap there. This option closes that gap, keeps what already works, and fits the budget you mentioned. I am not recommending more than you need.

Next step

How does that sound so far? If it feels right, the next step is simple, and I will handle the paperwork so it is easy for you.

Objection and next step

When to use: Use this to handle hesitation and set the next step.

Handle the hesitation

I completely understand wanting to think it over, prospect name. This is an important decision.

Make it easy

May I ask what is giving you pause, the cost, the timing, or something else? Whatever it is, I would rather talk it through now than leave you with questions. There is no obligation here.

Next step

The next step is small: I will send you the coverage type details in writing so you can review at your own pace, and I am one call away if anything comes up. Sound fair?

What is an insurance discovery call?

A consultative conversation to understand a prospect's situation, current coverage, and priorities before recommending anything. It is different from a cold call, which aims to book the meeting in the first place.

How is a discovery call different from a cold call?

A cold call interrupts a stranger to earn a first conversation. A discovery call is a scheduled, deeper conversation focused on understanding needs and auditing current coverage before making a recommendation.

What questions should I ask on an insurance discovery call?

Ask what prompted the search, what they most want to protect, what has changed in their life, and what they like or dislike about their current policy. Open questions surface real needs.

How do I present coverage gaps without scaring the prospect?

Frame gaps as concrete real-world scenarios rather than jargon, showing what is covered and what is not. The goal is to inform and empower, not to frighten.

Are these scripts compliant?

They are general conversation guides, not coverage or legal advice. Follow your licensing, disclosure, and suitability rules, and never promise coverage or savings you cannot deliver.
