Selling the Services

Converting the Inquiry call

Common Objections
• Cost – talk to the client about what care is absolutely needed, what financial resources
they can use or how the care can be split between your caregivers and the family
• Strangers in the home – explain how you will ensure the client is comfortable with the
caregiver coming into their home
• Loss of independence – explain that caregivers are there to do the tasks they don’t want
to do anymore
• Denial or lack of awareness – work with the family to reframe the care to the client
• Quality of care – explain the level of training a caregiver receives
• Inconsistency of caregivers – explain how you will minimize this as much as possible
• Interference with family roles – explain that this will allow family members to go back to
