Annual review invite
Hello {{name}}, it's time for your yearly cover check up. It takes about fifteen minutes and often turns up small things worth fixing. Does {{day}} work for a call?
Clients forget their cover until something goes wrong. A short review once a year keeps the policy matched to the life it protects, and a text is the easiest way to ask for the time. These thirteen messages invite a review, ask about life changes, book the call, share what you found, and follow up after. They suggest, they never scare, and none of them promises savings. Use them with clients who agreed to be texted. Copy any message, or add all thirteen to your keyboard and send them from iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS or any other app in one tap. textcuts works in any app where you type.
Works in WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Messenger and every other app.
Words in {{double braces}} are blanks. In the textcuts keyboard you fill them with one tap, and the names you used recently come back.
Hello {{name}}, it's time for your yearly cover check up. It takes about fifteen minutes and often turns up small things worth fixing. Does {{day}} work for a call?
Has anything changed this year, {{name}}? A move, a new job, a new car, someone joining the household. Any of these can change what your policy should do.
No pressure, {{name}}, just a thought: when did we last look at your policy together? If it's been a while, I can take a quick look this week.
I can do {{time}} or later in the afternoon, {{name}}. Whichever suits you for the review. If texting is easier, we can do it here.
For our review, {{name}}, it helps to have your current policy papers nearby. If you can't find them, no problem. I'll pull up what I have.
Congratulations on the new car, {{name}}! Please send me the details so I can make sure it's covered the right way from day one.
If you've renovated or added anything to your home, {{name}}, let me know. The value of the home may have changed, and your cover should follow it.
Sorry I missed you, {{name}}. I'll try again on {{day}}, or text me a time that works and I'll call then.
Thanks for your time today, {{name}}. Here is what we agreed: nothing to change for now, and I'll check again in a year. Text me if your situation changes before then.
After our call, {{name}}, I think one change is worth a look: increasing one limit. I'll send the details and the cost so you can decide at your own pace.
I noticed that one item on your policy no longer matches your situation, {{name}}. It might be worth updating, or it might be fine. Shall we talk it through?
You decided to keep your policy as it is, {{name}}, and that's your call. I've noted it on your file. If you change your mind, just text me.
Thanks for making time, {{name}}. A policy that matches your life is one less thing to worry about. Reach out whenever something changes.

Texting a number that never agreed to hear from you (a bought list, a number copied from a form for something else, a stranger).
Instead: Text only people who gave you their number and agreed to texts. Honor stop right away.
Fear based openers ("what happens to your family if...").
Instead: Ask what changed in their life and offer a calm review.
Telling clients they are underinsured without looking at the policy.
Instead: Read the policy first, then suggest one change.
Telling a client to drop an existing life policy for a new one.
Instead: Compare in full, including costs and what is lost, before any replacement. NAIC replacement rules apply.
Promising a lower premium before a review.
Instead: Say a review may or may not change the cost.
Using "investment" or "savings account" language about life cover.
Instead: Describe what the policy does and what it costs.
Gifts for booking a review.
Instead: A plain thank you. State inducement rules vary.
Works in WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Messenger and every other app.
Once a year, and any time they tell you about a move, a new car, a new job or a new family member. A short text reminder a month before the renewal works well.
No. Send these only to people who gave you their number and agreed to hear from you by text. The FCC's guide and 47 CFR 64.1200 explain the consent rules. Start a first message with a line such as "Tell me if you'd rather not get texts," and stop the moment someone says stop. Keep texting for people you already work with, one message at a time, typed by you.
Yes. Ten of the thirteen use a single blank, which fills in on the free plan. "Annual review invite", "Offering two times", "Missed call" use two blanks and need Pro to fill both from the keyboard.
Yes. textcuts is a keyboard, so the templates work in every app where you type, including iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS and Messenger.
