In this episode of The Insurance Buzz, Michael and Courtney Weaver dive into overcoming one of the most common objections in life insurance sales—the spousal objection. They break down how to tackle "I need to talk to my spouse" by using strategies like the 1-10 close, building rapport, and assuming the application. The episode emphasizes the emotional nature of life insurance, the importance of asking the right questions, and scheduling in-person appointments with both spouses. By following this framework, agents can increase their chances of closing more life insurance deals effectively and confidently.
