Opening Line

Knock knock.

Take a few steps back. Let the screen door remain shut. Turn so you are not facing the door. Wave at passers by.

"Hi.  I'm Elliott."

Big smile, hold out hand to shake. Gauge reaction.

"I'm the one talking to all of the families about life insurance and retirement planning.  I'm on the run right now, but going to be back Wednesday and Saturday meeting with people for about 10-15 minutes.  Which day works best for you?"

Objections
[http://door-to-door-life.wikia.com/wiki/Already_have_it. I already have life insurance. ]

You've caught me at a really bad time.

I'm not interested.

We have wonderful benefits at work.

[http://door-to-door-life.wikia.com/wiki/Too_Busy_to_Meet Neither of those days work. I'll be on vacation next week.]

I need to talk to my husband about this.

I have nothing to do with finance, my husband does it all.

Excuses
Most of these objections are not true objections at all. They are just excuses for not wanting to meet up. People do not know how to verbalize their true objections, or believe their objections are too painful to say or admit. The true objections are:

I'm too lazy to give up 10 minutes of my time.

I'm afraid of change.

I'm afraid of spending money, even if it's for something important.

I'm afraid of severing relations with my current company.

I do not want to admit to myself, let alone be told by a stranger, that I made a wrong decision.

I would rather live in blissful ignorance than be wrong.

Even if you are giving me a better deal than my current company, at least I know what to expect from them. I don't know you or your company at all.

I have insecurities around money.

I don't want to let a stranger into my house.

My spouse might chasitze me for deciding to meet with you.

Industrial Strength
Be honest with me. Really?
