The first sentence insurance agencies want callers to hear

While the location is open and the receptionist is on, the assistant speaks the opening line first. Insurance agencies write that sentence. A blank line is saved as "Thank you for calling."

Write the sentence they should hear

Name the business and, if it helps, what insurance agencies can do about a policyholder calling about a claim or a bill. The line is spoken at the start. It is not a hidden prompt.

Keep it short

One or two sentences are enough. Long scripts belong in the instructions and the knowledge notes, not in the first breath of the call.

It does not play when you are closed

Closed hours go to voicemail. The opening line runs only when the receptionist actually picks up.

FAQ

What if insurance agencies leave the opening line blank?

Saving a blank opening line stores "Thank you for calling." and that is what the assistant speaks first.

Can the opening line quote a price?

Only if insurance agencies want that price spoken on every call. Put changeable details in knowledge notes instead of the first sentence.
