What’s your best rebuttal...

I went to see my mom the other day, and she asks, "What are you doing here? I didn't send in a card."

Haha. Years ago, I was working in the area where my grandma lived, so I stopped to see her. I hadn't seen her in a while and her memory was fading. When she answered the door she said, "If you're an insurance agent, I'm not interested".

when a prospect says: “
Our kids can afford to pay for our funeral”

I would ask, "Did your kids actually say they would pay for your funeral?"

Just start wiping your feet, bum rush the old gal and head toward the kitchen.

Cue Rodney Dangerfield.

"Its rough being an insurance agent. How rough is it? Its so rough even my mother gives me the Heisman."

"Is that what you want? To leave your kids with a financial burden?"

So why am I here? Give it a second for the answer. Then you're going to make progress or you gather your things and head out.

I'm too old at this point to have that conversation.

I started in insurance in 2004, my brother died in 2007 and he never had 2 nickels to rub together. I visited my parents after the funeral and Mom says that after adding all the costs she and Dad have taken new life policies to cover all the costs. I asked why she hadn't asked me and she says "I thought you only sold cars and houses" I replaced their 2 policies and thanked the other agent for looking out for them.
