Medicare Scripts - "Turning Complexity into Clarity"

No Medicare script is complete without giving agents the ability to respond to a few common objections. Prepare for these by writing out potential Medicare rebuttals in your sales scripts. Make sure to phrase them positively and remain professional at all times. Addressing customer objections calmly and confidently will help build trust and encourage customers to stay on the line. Consider the following responses to common objections:
Objection: “I’m not interested.” 
 
Response: “I have in my records here that you requested more information about our plans at [Date and Time]. If you have just a few minutes, I think we can save you a significant amount of money on your healthcare costs.” 
 
Objection: “I’m not on Medicare yet.”
 
Response: “That’s no problem. I just want to make sure you don’t pay any penalties for enrolling too late. May I ask when you’re planning to retire?”
 
Objection: “I don’t want to change my plan right now.”
 
Response: “I understand. I don’t know that a significant change is necessary, but what would you say if I could get you an upgrade to lower your monthly premium without sacrificing any coverage?”
 
Objection: “I need to talk to my spouse/child/doctor first.”
 
Response: “No problem. If you’d like, I’d be happy to talk to them, too. Have them give me a call anytime.” OR “I understand and can call back when you have the information you need. Are you available on [Date] between [Time] and [Time]?”
