• It is actually another form of expressing the objection "I don't need" • A customer who is aware that the risk exists and can occur at any time does not postpone the purchase of insurance, especially for the most serious risks (death, disability, destruction of the home) - A: Not now • Insurance is like a parachute: if you don't have it with you at the right time, you'll never need it again. (propose the meeting) - A: Not now • If fire, death, or earthquake reach you before me... You say what will happen then. (propose the meeting) • A: I look for you when I need it • I understand you... Only when you need it you will have to call 112, not me. I can help you today, when you are healthy, have a home, maybe a car... I mean a good life (proposes the meeting)
How do you solve the "I don't have money" objection?

If today, when you are healthy, earn money, have a home, you say you have no money, then after a tragedy what will it be like? (propose the meeting) - A: I have no money • I understand you don't have money to throw away. Which is very good, because it means you know the value of the penny. And this is exactly what I propose to talk about, how to protect what you have – house, income, savings. (propose the meeting)
How do you resolve the "I don't trust" objection?
- A: I don't trust insurance • I understand you. It was the same in my case. Now, after helping dozens of families, I know what it means to have enough insurance. (propose the meeting) - A: I don't trust insurance • You see... after an earthquake there will be two categories of people: some who will receive money for a new home and others who will wonder who and why they didn't trust. Millions of people around the world trust us. Why wouldn't you have? (propose the meeting) - A: I had insurance and... I wasn't satisfied... • I understand you. There is no forest without dry areas. It just means that you have to be careful in whose hands you leave your family's financial security. (propose the meeting) - R: I heard that someone suffered... did not receive... was dissatisfied... • I understand you. The person you heard this from may or may not be right. But in any case he will not pay you tens of thousands of Euros in case of damage. Only an insurer will. (propose the meeting)

Or exactly these are the topics we will address. (propose the meeting) - A: I have insurance • Is OK. I expected you to have insurance. Many of my clients had insurance when we met, but found they were underinsured. In this case our discussion will be shorter and you will only gain from it. (propose the meeting) - A: I have an agent • Is OK. If we deduce that you have enough insurance, you will congratulate him. And if not, I will propose solutions that he did not propose. (propose the meeting) - R: What the Lord will give, with good and bad... • That's right... God gives us everything, both good and bad, as you say... And then it means that God also sent me to you today (proposes the meeting)
How do you deal with objections that never stop...?
- A: No... No... No... • Considering you are so vehemently opposed, education tells me to give up, but experience tells me to continue. How do we proceed? - R: Leave it, you don't care about me... you care about your commission • Frankly, I, with or without a policy, am neither richer nor poorer... but your family, without the right policy, can become very, very poor... (proposes meeting) - A: I said NO! • Is OK. I will give up, at least for now. Please tell me, do I have your consent to come back with a phone in 3 months? - Once a month I send clients interesting information in the field of risk. Would you like to receive them too? If you like them, you can also send them to your friends. If not, you can unsubscribe
