Hi, __________? This is _____________ I am calling you back as you responded to our ad for a health benefits consultant position. I am doing some 15 minute prescreening telephone interviews. Is now a good time for you?

Do you have a pen and paper handy?

What I'd like to do is ask you a few questions to get to know you a bit, and see if our company and what you're looking for might be a good match.

Would you tell me a little about what you currently do for a living?

How long have you been doing that?

So, what do you like about what you've been doing?

Is there something that you dislike like about what you're doing right now or could do without?

What made you respond to the Health Benefits Consultant ad?

Tell me do you have any experience training or mentoring other people either on the job or off?

How long have you lived in? Where are you from originally?

Now _________, are you thinking of supplementing your current or replacing it?

How much would you like to make each month?

Have you ever been a 1099 employee, an independent contractor or consultant before?

Now, our company has quite a standard for the people we look to work with ...there's a lot of work on our part making sure people get the training and resources they need to be successful with their position - so it's important for us to really select people who are teachable and coachable and willing to apply themselves to be successful in their new career. Would you consider yourself coachable?

If they reviewed info on the website before the interview go to the close.

(If not, continue) As a corporation, we've been in business for over 15 years we are members of the US Chamber of Commerce, the Consumer Health Alliance and National Association of Dental Plans. Currently our company generates over $100 million in profit each year and we currently have over 1.5 million satisfied clients all across the US. The name of our company is AmeriPlan...have you heard of us before?

The next step is to have the candidates that we feel have the skills and qualities of someone we would like to work with to review some information about the company. I would like for you to listen to a brief pre-recorded call that my business partner recorded to save my voice as we are doing lots of interviewing right now and it covers all the information. (Smile-laugh)

On the call you will find out more information about who we are, what we do and who we’re looking to work with. You’re definitely want to take some notes on this call because you’re going to hear how you can (REPEAT needs, strengths and goals). There is a lot of information on the call so you may want to listen to it twice. The number for the call is: (951) 262-1649. Go ahead and repeat that number back to me…

___________, I am also going to send you an email with some websites and an article about the company that I would like for you to review. After that we can continue the interview process and I can answer any questions you may have at that time. I am going to send you an email right now… my email address is ______________ and the title of the email will be AmeriPlan. If you do not see an email from me check you spam folder and if not there call me back.

We are prescreening a lot of people right now and we'll be making a decision very soon so, listen to the call, review the information in the email that I am sending you and let’s follow-up at (set an appointment).

_______, I do think you have the skills and qualities of someone we would be willing to consider for this position. Let me give you my name and phone number so that if you are unable to make the follow-up you can call me and we can reschedule. It is _______________ and my name is ____________.

CLOSING

1. "What did you LIKE about the information you have looked at so far?" Usually they start asking questions…

“OK, that’s a really good question and I will answer your questions in a bit…but first tell me what did you like about the information you have reviewed.

2. "When you say that you liked that...(repeat back what they just said they liked), tell me, WHY are those things important to YOU?" (Let them sell themselves. Take notes here, you should already have some notes from your first phone call with them.) 

3. "Ok, The person we look to work with has three main qualities. They are ambitious, self-motivated, and they have integrity. Do you feel that you have these qualities?"

4. "So, ____________ for yourself, are you able to see how this can help you accomplish what you are looking to achieve?

5."So, _______ tell me why do you think you would be good at this position?" (This is where they are selling YOU on why you should consider them as a business partner on our team - if they don't give you a solid answer here, then you need to seriously consider whether or not you really want to work with them.)

6. “Ok, I do feel that you possess the qualities of someone we would like to work with. So, based on that, I see no reason why we can’t offer you the position, when would you like to get started?

Process their application.
