Maximizing Success on Calls: Tips and Strategies

Our platform connects agents with high-intent clients across various verticals, including Medicare, ACA, Final Expense, and Mortgage Protection. To help you succeed, we’ve compiled proven strategies to make the most of the crucial first 25 seconds of a call and handle each call type effectively.


The First 25 Seconds: Setting the Stage for Success

The initial moments of a call are critical. Our most successful agents focus on three key actions during this time:

  1. Answering the Phone Like a Professional:

    • Use a friendly, confident, and professional tone.
    • Example: “Hi this is [Your Name] with the Enrollment Center, it looks like you are calling from Texas is that correct?
  2. Verifying the Resident State of the Caller:

    • Confirm the state where the caller resides to ensure compliance and eligibility for specific insurance plans.
    • Example: “It looks like you are calling in from the state of texas is that right?”
  3. Verifying the Interest/Intent of the Caller:

    • Quickly establish why the client is calling to focus the conversation effectively.
    • Example: “Great, and do I have your permission to discuss medicare benefits with you today?”

These three steps build trust, establish clarity, and set a professional tone for the call.
