  • Listen to the customer’s questions properly
  • Answer to the point and don’t beat around the bush

                 

During the sales call, if the life insurance sales agent is asked a question which he or she cannot answer at that very moment, the life insurance sales agent needs to buy some time from the customer and commit to a date and time at which he or she will give the answer.
