Setting appointments with new prospects is hard. But it's also one of the most important things a producer needs to improve at in order to win new clients. "Scripting" (what you say or write to your prospects) is the difference maker for all of it. In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht outlines what is potentially the best prospecting script in the entire insurance industry, as well as how you can personally edit it to make it your own.

Key Quotes:

“If you don't have many different scripts to use for your prospects, you are probably not getting the results you want.” - Charles Specht

“Focusing on how to set appointments is probably the smartest thing you will ever do in your career.” - Charles Specht

“As you're figuring out what your script and your pitch and your cold call carrot is, you have to really understand what is one of the main problems they're dealing with. Because whatever you're saying has to be a solution to that problem. And if you don't understand your prospect's problems, the solution that you have to offer really isn't going to be that great.” - Charles Specht
