How to Use This Checklist

Making the Referral Conversation — A Script for Insurance Agents

Once you've identified a client who scores positively on the checklist above, here's how to introduce the conversation naturally:

Opening (warm, not salesy)

"I was reviewing your situation and noticed that you're in a position where a working capital solution might help you [grow / bridge the gap / stabilize cash flow]. I partner with a business funding company — T.A.G. Business Funding — and they specialize in fast capital for businesses like yours. Would it be OK if I had them reach out?"

If they ask about cost

"It's more expensive than a bank loan — but T.A.G. works with businesses that can't get bank approval, and they're transparent about the full cost upfront before you sign anything. There's no obligation just to see what you qualify for."

If they say they don't need capital right now

"That's fine — it's good to know what you qualify for before you need it. Most business owners wish they'd applied before a crisis rather than during one. I can have T.A.G. do a soft pre-qualification with no impact to your credit if you want to know your options."

Disclosure Reminder

You receive a referral fee when T.A.G. funds your client. Best practice is to disclose this relationship when making the introduction: "I should mention — I have a referral partnership with T.A.G. and receive a commission if they fund your business. That said, I only refer clients I believe are a genuine fit." Transparency builds trust and protects you from any regulatory concerns.
