# Quote From The First Call: A Life Intake Workflow That Starts Informed

## TL;DR

A first life call spent collecting height, weight, tobacco use, conditions, and medications is a call that never gets to the quote. Sending your Life Intake Link first moves the underwriting questions before the conversation, so the first call starts with numbers instead of typing.

## Key data points

- The Life Intake Link workflow collects build, tobacco and nicotine use, health conditions, medications, coverage goals, and budget before the agent's first call — so the first conversation starts with quoting.

Every life agent knows the shape of a bad first call: twenty minutes of "any medications?", "how much do you weigh?", and "do you use tobacco?" — with the actual quote conversation squeezed into the last five minutes.

**The fix is not a better script. It is moving the underwriting questions before the call.**

## The workflow

1. Lead comes in — ad, referral, Facebook form, your website chatbot.
2. Instead of dialing, you send your Life Intake Link by text or email. Templates for appointments, new leads, and client reviews are included.
3. The client answers one simple question per screen on their phone: the basics, build and tobacco, health and medications, what they want, and application details.
4. Everything lands on the contact record — Health Profile and Rx tabs filled, summarised in one note.
5. Your first call starts with: "I have your details here — let's look at what fits."

## Why it converts better

The client completes the link on their own time — nights, weekends, whenever — instead of being pinned to a call they did not plan for. Answers save as they go, and a partial submission still reaches you with whatever they gave, so no lead is ever wasted.

## The budget bonus

The link asks what the coverage is for — final expense, mortgage, income replacement — and an optional monthly budget. You quote what the client can actually afford, which is the quote that closes.
