T65 first conversation — warm referral

For T65s referred by a family member, CPA, or existing client.

Why this works

Social proof. Lead with WHO sent you, not what you sell. The referral source is your trust shortcut — use it twice.

When to use

First call to a T65 you were referred to. Within 24 hours of getting the name.

Script
Hi, is this {{client_first}}? Hi {{client_first}}, this is {{agent_name}} from {{agency}}. [Referrer's name] asked me to give you a call — they mentioned you've got Medicare coming up and wanted to make sure you had somebody who'd actually walk you through it.

I'm not calling to sell you anything today. I help people figure out which Medicare path fits — Original Medicare plus a supplement, or a Medicare Advantage plan — based on your doctors, your prescriptions, and how you like to use insurance.

Could we put 30 minutes on the calendar? You don't need to decide anything on the call. By the end you'll just know your options.

Placeholders to replace

  • {{client_first}}Client's first name
  • {{agent_name}}Your full name
  • {{agency}}Your agency or DBA
Compliance notes
  • Scope of Appointment (SOA) must be on file BEFORE any marketing appointment discussing specific plans.
  • Required disclaimer when not representing all plans in the area: 'We do not offer every plan available in your area. Currently we represent [#] organizations which offer [#] products in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local SHIP to get information on all of your options.'

Inspiration & starting point only. Verify against your carrier, state, and current CMS rules before use. See our disclaimers.
