personas

    • A rising premium makes it worthwhile to compare insurers, but shopping multiple carriers is time-consuming.
    • Worries about spam calls and a gap in coverage when switching.

objections

  • objection: Will comparison trigger spam calls or pressure to purchase?
    response: Jerry says users can sign up without spam calls or pressure and offers licensed human agents.
  • objection: Will switching insurance leave a coverage gap?
    response: Jerry says it coordinates cancellation of the old policy after purchase to avoid a gap; confirm dates before switching.
  • objection: Are savings guaranteed?
    response: Actual prices depend on the driver, coverage and available carriers; compare the full policy terms rather than headline savings.
