Warm contacts, referrals, or people who expressed interest. Keep it short, confident, and curiosity-driven.
// Opening
Hey [Name] — this is [Your Name]. I don't want to take up too much of your time. I'm in the insurance industry and I'm expanding my team. I came across your name and thought you might be someone worth talking to. Are you open to hearing about something, or are you happy doing what you're doing?
— pause —
// If open
Perfect. What I do is help people get licensed in life insurance and build their own agency. Most of the people on my team earn anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000+ a month — and they set their own schedule. It is not for everyone, but for the right person it is genuinely life-changing. All I want to do is show you what it looks like — can we grab 20 minutes this week?
// If hesitant
No pressure at all — I am only looking for people who are serious about building something. If after 20 minutes it does not make sense for you, we shake hands and I will not bother you again. Fair enough?
