Let's be real here—your performance is falling way short of what you’re capable of, averaging a lowly 4.3. You’ve got some positive intentions, but your responses are lacking the depth and specificity needed to truly connect with prospects. You’re acknowledging concerns, which is a good start, but you’re not backing it up with solid value propositions or tailored solutions. This is where you need to step it up.
Your strongest technique seems to be a willingness to engage, but it’s just not enough. You need to dig deeper into the customer’s pain points and highlight how your offerings uniquely solve those issues. You consistently miss the mark on providing detailed, compelling reasons for the prospect to choose your policy over others.
To improve, focus on mastering the Solution Selling and Consultative Selling techniques. These methods will help you better identify customer pain points and tailor your responses. Ask probing questions to uncover what the prospect values most—this will allow you to customize your approach and build a stronger case for your offerings.
Here’s your coaching moment: Remember that sales is about creating a connection. Dig into the details, showcase the value, and don’t be afraid to ask questions that reveal deeper insights. You have to become the expert that prospects trust, not just a salesperson who acknowledges concerns. Let’s turn this around and elevate your game!

"I'm worried about the monthly payments; they seem higher than what I currently pay."
Answer:
I can understand and appreciate that, we have covered all the gaps and a couple extra dollars a month are worth the peace of mind.
Feedback:
Your response lacks depth in addressing the prospect's concern about higher monthly payments. While you acknowledge their worry, you don’t provide specific value or details about how the coverage justifies the higher cost. Exploring the benefits of your policy and how it compensates for the increased price would strengthen your case. Ask questions to discover what they value most in a policy, as this can help tailor your response effectively. Overall, your answer falls short in demonstrating value and engaging with the prospect's specific concerns.

Feedback:
Your response begins to engage the prospect by suggesting a detailed discussion, which is a positive step. However, it lacks specific content to address the concern about the value of the coverage relative to the premium. To strengthen your response, clearly outline the unique benefits of your coverage, highlight any features that differentiate your policy, and reassure the prospect about transparency regarding costs. Additionally, asking questions to further understand their specific needs and concerns would demonstrate active listening and curiosity. Overall, while you initiate a conversation, the lack of information and detail falls short of effectively addressing the prospect's objection.

Answer:
Yes, let’s talk about the features you can customize.
Feedback:

To strengthen your answer, provide specific examples of customizable features available in the policy, and explain how these can align with different lifestyle needs. Additionally, asking the prospect questions about their specific lifestyle requirements would demonstrate curiosity and active listening, making the conversation more engaging.

/ 10Question:
"I've had a bad experience with my last insurer; how can I trust your service levels are better?"
Answer:
Because we are independent of the insurance companies, we are better positioned to fight for you.
Feedback:
Your response touches on a valid point about being independent, which can imply better advocacy for the customer. However, it lacks depth in addressing the specific concern about trust and service levels. To enhance your response, consider sharing specific examples of how your service improves upon industry standards or your competitors. Discuss any customer testimonials, service guarantees, or satisfaction ratings that can build credibility. Additionally, asking the prospect about their previous experience could help you align your response more closely with their concerns. Overall, while your answer has a good starting point, it needs more substance and engagement to effectively reassure the prospect.

/ 10Question:
"Can you explain how the claims process works? I’ve heard horror stories about delays."
Answer:
Delays are generally caused by poor attitudes and communication. If we address those, we can push through any potential delays.
Feedback:
Your response attempts to address the concern about delays in the claims process, but it lacks a clear and detailed explanation of how your specific claims process works. Rather than generalizing the cause of delays, it would be more effective to outline the steps involved in the claims process, highlight how your company actively works to minimize delays, and provide examples of successful claims handling. This would help build trust and reassure the prospect. Additionally, asking the prospect if they have specific aspects of the claims process they are concerned about could foster a more collaborative approach. Overall, your answer needs more substance to effectively reassure the prospect and clarify the process.

"What if I find a better deal after I sign? Is there any flexibility in your pricing?"
Answer:
Absolutely. Because we have options, we are always happy to compete. We will not, however, compromise coverage to win.
Feedback:
Your response acknowledges the prospect's concern about finding a better deal, which is positive. However, it lacks detail on how flexibility in pricing works and what options are available. To improve, you could explain what steps can be taken if they find a better deal and how you can assist them in addressing that situation. Reassuring the prospect that you would prioritize their needs while maintaining the integrity of the coverage would be beneficial. Additionally, asking them more about what they value in a deal could open up the conversation further and help tailor your offerings to their needs. Overall, while you express a willingness to compete, more elaboration on the specifics would strengthen your response.

Answer:
That’s what we’re here for. Always happy to answer questions to provide you peace of mind.
Feedback:
Your response shows a willingness to assist, which is positive. However, it lacks specific strategies to address the prospect's concern about time constraints and understanding the policy details. To improve your answer, consider offering a brief summary of the key features of the policy and how they align with the prospect's needs. Additionally, you could propose a quick walkthrough of the most critical sections to expedite their decision-making process. Asking questions about which aspects of the policy the prospect is most interested in could also demonstrate curiosity and help tailor your guidance. Overall, while your intent to support is clear, providing more concrete solutions would enhance your effectiveness here.

/ 10Question:
"With current market uncertainty, how can I justify the investment in a new policy?"
Answer:
You are purchasing a second home with a mortgage. Home insurance is required.
Feedback:
Your response directly addresses the fact that home insurance is a requirement for a mortgage, which is a valid point. However, it does not sufficiently engage with the prospect's concern about market uncertainty and the justification for the investment in a new policy. To improve, consider discussing the value of home insurance in protecting their investment, especially during uncertain market conditions. Emphasizing how having the right coverage can provide peace of mind and financial security would make your response more compelling. Additionally, asking the prospect about their specific concerns regarding market uncertainty could help tailor your response and demonstrate active listening. Overall, while you mention a key aspect of home insurance, your answer falls short in addressing the broader implications of the prospect's question.

Answer:
What is unique and special about your current provider? Have they ever “wowed” you?
Feedback:
Your response shows an attempt to engage the prospect by asking about their current provider, which is a positive step toward understanding their situation. However, it lacks a proactive approach to highlight the unique value your service offers compared to their existing provider. To strengthen your response, consider outlining specific benefits of your policies, such as better coverage options, customer service quality, or additional features that can enhance their experience. By effectively demonstrating the advantages of switching, you can better address their concern about the relationship they have with their current provider. Additionally, providing examples or testimonials from satisfied customers could reinforce your position and build trust. Overall, while your question is thoughtful, it needs to be supplemented with clear value propositions to be more effective.
