People make buying decisions based on emotion and justify them with logic. Your job isn't to recite features โ it's to find what keeps your prospect up at night, then show them how LegalShield makes that go away.
The key question to unlock every pain point: "What made you look into this?" Then listen. Don't interrupt. What they say next is your entire sales pitch.
Common situations: Divorce, child custody, landlord disputes, traffic tickets, wills, DUI, employment issues.
Core fear: "I can't afford a lawyer, but I can't afford NOT to have one right now."
What to ask: "What's the legal situation you're dealing with right now โ is it something urgent, or more of a planning question?"
How to connect it: "LegalShield gives you access to a law firm for a flat monthly fee โ so whether this situation wraps up quickly or drags on for months, you're covered without the hourly billing stress."
Common situations: Contract review, employee disputes, collections, compliance, lease agreements, business formation.
Core fear: "One lawsuit or bad contract could sink my business, and I can't afford to have a lawyer on retainer."
What to ask: "What kind of business do you run, and has anything legal come up recently โ or is this more about getting ahead of potential issues?"
How to connect it: "Small business owners face legal exposure every week โ contracts, employees, vendors. LegalShield gives you a business legal plan that covers all of that for a fraction of what a single attorney consultation costs."
Common situations: Moving violations, logbook violations, roadside inspection failures, overweight citations.
Core fear: "If I lose my CDL or rack up points, I lose my income. I need help fighting this ticket."
What to ask: "What kind of ticket was it โ and are you worried about points, fines, or losing your license?"
How to connect it: "For CDL drivers, a single ticket isn't just an inconvenience โ it's a threat to your livelihood. LegalShield's CDLP plan gets a lawyer to fight every ticket for you, and protects your record long-term."
Common situations: Prior identity theft, data breach notifications, concerns about credit monitoring, SSN protection.
Core fear: "Someone already stole my info once โ or I'm scared it's going to happen and I won't know until the damage is done."
What to ask: "Have you had your identity stolen before, or is this more about making sure you're protected going forward?"
How to connect it: "IDShield doesn't just monitor โ it restores. If your identity is stolen, a licensed private investigator works your case until it's resolved. That's the difference between a warning system and actual protection."
Common situations: HR managers or business owners looking for affordable voluntary benefits to offer employees.
Core fear: "I want to offer my employees something valuable, but I can't afford to add to my benefits costs."
What to ask: "Are you looking for this as a company-paid benefit, or as a voluntary option employees pay for themselves?"
How to connect it: "LegalShield is a 100% voluntary benefit โ zero cost to the employer, but employees love it. It's one of the most-used benefits companies offer because almost everyone has a legal need at some point."
Common situations: People looking for side income, entrepreneurial opportunity, or a way to build a business from home.
Core fear: "I've tried MLM before and got burned. I don't want to waste time on something that won't work."
What to ask: "What kind of income are you looking to build โ is this a side thing, or are you interested in making it your main focus?"
How to connect it: "LegalShield is different because you're selling a service people genuinely need โ not convincing people to buy something they don't. That makes the sales conversation easier, and the retention much higher than typical products."
