Needs-Based Sales
The chief function of life insurance is to pay for a person’s final expenses. Some of the money paid to a beneficiary normally is used to meet current financial obligations created by the insured’s death. The remainder of the money may also be used to meet future needs of the insured’s beneficiary or beneficiaries.

Needs-Based Sales
Totaling the amounts required to pay for current and future expenses is often referred to as the “total needs approach” to determine how much life insurance a person should carry.

Four Obligations at Death
1: Final Expenses Funerals cost money.
So do doctors, the ambulance, and the hospital, where a
stay before death could cause a bill.
Income taxes, estate, and inheritance taxes, (because they resulted from death) make up what could be called “Death Taxes.”

Four Obligations at Death
When a breadwinner dies, dependent family members may still have other financial needs for:
2: Income Replacement Replacing the breadwinner’s income
3: Mortgage Protection Taking care of the outstanding mortgage loan on the
house (if any)

Four Obligations at Death
4: College Education Protection
Today, almost everyone recognizes the necessity of a good college education for their kids, if they hope to attain success in the business or professional world. Many conscientious parents consider it their duty – an obligation – to establish a fund for their children’s education.
![Page 8: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Need for Life Insurance
No matter how many of these obligations an individual leaves behind, there’s only one thing that will satisfy them…money!
For this reason, a person who wants to relieve the family of obligations when he or she dies will plan to leave them with an estate – money – that is sufficient to cover all needs.

FIRST COMPONENT OF SUCCESS
Rapport Building
![Page 14: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Balancing Human Element and Technology
Clients buy products based on advertising messages, word of mouth, reputation, etc.
Clients buy LNL products because they like and trust the Agent. The Laptop Sales Presentation is key to show professionalism and uncover the client’s needs. But that’s only part of the sales process. The other key is human interaction, which is represented in the rapport and close.
![Page 15: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
When you break down the sales process, the amount of time spent on each step is:
Rapport – 40%; Need – 30%; Presentation – 20%;Close – 10%
Therefore, the balance between the technology and the human element must be 50-50.

The Art of Establishing Rapport
Consumers today are more professional and better educated because they are bombarded with sales pitches over the radio and TV.
A professional Agent can break through all of this resistance by playing up to each customer as if that person is the first and the last client he/she will ever sell to. Make that customer want to do business with you.
![Page 18: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
People Buy from Agents they Trust
Customers may feel threatened by an Agent coming into their home. Therefore, everything an Agent will do or say in the home will either produce tension or trust.
Don’t start closing from the moment you walk in the home. This will build walls and not trust.
Go slow, create trust, and then move into your presentation.
![Page 19: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
People Buy from Agents they Respect
Respect the customer’s time. Don’t spend more time than you need to make a sale presentation.
Respect the customer’s territory. You are a guest, so ask for permission to move around the room or come closer to show a brochure.
Respect your customer’s intelligence by being up front.
![Page 20: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rapport Building: The Warm Up
When you walk into a house, find a place where you can sit comfortably and face the customers. Put your hands on the table, relax, and establish rapport.
People buy from you because they like you and they trust you. They buy you first, then the Company, and the products after. Find something in common with your customers and go from there. Avoid politics and religion. This should not last more than 15 minutes.
![Page 21: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

SECOND COMPONENT OF SUCCESS
Transitions and Tie Downs

Less is More
Remember the Laptop demonstrates the need for the product.
Your job is to transition into those videos, re-emphasize, and tie down the importance of the need and the product to the client.
To do this effectively, use the LNL Laptop Presentation Script

Asking for Referrals (Sponsors)
“We are trying to extend Introductory Offers to the people in your circle of influence who you know can use it.”
“Who would you like to sponsor FIRST?”
Get your first sponsorship and ask, “Who would you like to sponsor NEXT?”

Referral Collection Tips
“Who’s first …” is much better than “Can you think of anyone …”
Always ask “Who’s next?”
Even if they say they can’t think of anyone else, bring up another option, a sibling, relative, neighbor, or coworker and they will think of another, then say, “Who’s next?”
![Page 27: Needs-Based Sales Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/56813ec9550346895da92ff0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Referral Collection Tips
Be suggestive. “Most people just look through their phone to think of people.”
Use competition, “Most people sponsor 10, but the most I’ve seen someone sponsor is 27 if you want to try and set the record!”
Overcome an objection, “Whenever the Company sends out a claim check, the family receiving it never sends the check back, they always cash it. Who do you want to help first?”

Downclosing Basics
First, understand the objection isn’t always related to the price.
Before downclosing:
Listen to what the client is telling you. Identify what the actual objection is. Overcome the objection, and re-ask the closing question.
