Sales Scripts & Objection Handling
Script 1: Opening Pitch (International Caller)
You: "Do you call family or friends in Mexico, India, China, or other countries regularly?"
Customer: "Yes, I call my family in Mexico every week."
You: "How much are you paying for international calling right now?"
Customer: "I buy international calling cards—maybe $20-$30 a month."
You: "Okay, so you're spending $20-$30 just on international calls, plus whatever you pay for your regular phone service. What if I told you Simple Mobile includes UNLIMITED calling to Mexico—and 68 other countries—in every plan? No calling cards, no per-minute charges, no extra fees.
You get unlimited talk, text, and data in the U.S., PLUS unlimited calling to Mexico, all for $40 a month. That's less than what you're paying now just for calling cards, and you get full phone service included. Sound good?"
Script 2: Family Plan Pitch
You: "How many lines does your family have?"
Customer: "Four—me, my wife, and our two kids."
You: "What are you paying per month right now?"
Customer: "About $160 on T-Mobile."
You: "Okay, $160 for four lines. Simple Mobile runs on the same T-Mobile network—same coverage, same 5G—but you'd pay $100 a month for four unlimited lines. That's $60 per month savings, or $720 per year.
Plus, if you prepay for 6 months, you save even more—you'd pay $190 per line for 6 months, which is about $32 per month per line. So four lines would be $760 for 6 months instead of $960 if you paid monthly. You save $200 just by prepaying.
Same network, same coverage, way less money. Want to switch today?"
Script 3: BYOD Customer
Customer: "I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy. Can I use it with Simple Mobile?"

Sales Scripts for Simple Mobile
Script 1: International Calling Customer
Customer: "I need a plan with international calling to India. How much does that cost?"
You: "Great question! Simple Mobile includes UNLIMITED calling to India—and 68 other countries—in every unlimited plan. No extra charges, no per-minute fees. You can talk as much as you want.
Our most popular plan is $40/month: unlimited talk and text, 10GB of high-speed data, mobile hotspot, and unlimited calling to India. That's it—$40/month, no surprises.
How much are you paying now for international calling?"
Customer: "I'm paying $60/month on AT&T, plus I have to buy international calling cards."
You: "So you're spending $60+ per month and still buying calling cards? With Simple Mobile, you'd pay $40/month total—no calling cards needed. You'd save at least $20/month, which is $240 per year. Plus, you're on T-Mobile's network with 5G access.
Want to switch today? I can get you activated in about 10 minutes."
Script 2: Family Looking to Save Money
Customer: "We have four lines on Verizon and we're paying $180/month. Is there a cheaper option?"
You: "Absolutely! Simple Mobile offers four unlimited lines for $100/month on T-Mobile's network. That's $25 per line.
Let me show you the math: you're paying $180 now, we can get you to $100. That's $80/month savings, which is $960 per year. Same unlimited talk, text, and data. Same quality network—T-Mobile. Plus, you get unlimited international calling to 69 countries included.
And here's the best part: if you prepay for 6 months, you save even more. Six months costs $190 per line, which works out to about $32/month per line. So for four lines, you'd pay $760 for 6 months instead of $1,080 on Verizon. That's $320 in savings every six months.
No contracts, no credit checks. You can switch today and start saving immediately. Sound good?"
Script 3: Single Customer Overpaying
Customer: "I'm paying $75/month for one line on T-Mobile postpaid. Can I get a better deal?"
You: "Definitely! Simple Mobile runs on the same T-Mobile network you're already on, but you'd pay $40/month instead of $75. That's $35/month savings—$420 per year.
You get unlimited talk and text, 10GB of high-speed data, 5GB mobile hotspot, and unlimited international calling to 69 countries. Same network, same coverage, same 5G access—just way cheaper.
The only difference is you're prepaid instead of postpaid. No contract, no credit check. You pay at the beginning of the month instead of the end. That's it.
Want to save $420 this year? Let's get you switched."
Script 4: Customer Asking About Coverage
Customer: "I've never heard of Simple Mobile. Is the coverage good?"
You: "Simple Mobile runs on T-Mobile's nationwide network—the same network as Metro by T-Mobile. T-Mobile has the largest 5G network in the country, covering 99% of Americans.
So if T-Mobile works well in your area, Simple Mobile will work exactly the same. Same towers, same coverage, same speeds. The only difference is you're paying prepaid prices instead of postpaid prices.
Where do you live and work? Let me check T-Mobile's coverage map to show you exactly what you'll get."
[Show coverage map]
"See? Full 5G coverage at your home and work. You'll have excellent service, and you're saving money every month. It's a win-win."
Script 5: Multi-Month Plan Upsell
Customer: "Okay, I'll try the $40/month plan."
You: "Great choice! Quick question: would you rather pay $40/month, or save money by prepaying for multiple months?
Here's what I mean: if you pay monthly, it's $40 every month. But if you prepay for 3 months, it's $100 total—that's $33/month instead of $40. You save $20 over three months.
Or, if you prepay for 6 months, it's $190 total—about $32/month. You save $50 over six months.
Most customers who know they're staying with Simple Mobile choose the 6-month plan because the savings add up. You're going to have a phone for the next six months anyway, right? Why not save $50?
Which would you prefer: monthly, 3-month, or 6-month?"
Script 6: Overcoming "I Need to Think About It" Objection
Customer: "This sounds good, but I need to think about it."
You: "I totally understand—switching carriers is a big decision. Can I ask what you're thinking about? Is it the coverage, the price, or something else?"
Customer: "I'm just not sure if the coverage will be good enough."
You: "That's a fair concern. Here's what I recommend: Simple Mobile has a 7-day satisfaction guarantee. If the coverage doesn't work for you in the first week, you can return everything and get a full refund.
So there's zero risk. Try it for a week—use it at home, at work, everywhere you go. If it's not working, bring it back. But I'm confident you'll love it because you're on T-Mobile's network, which has excellent coverage in this area.
Let's get you activated today, and if it doesn't work out, you're covered. Sound fair?"
Objection Handling
Objection 1: "I've never heard of Simple Mobile"
Response: "That's totally normal—Simple Mobile is a prepaid brand, so they don't advertise as much as the big carriers. But here's what you need to know: Simple Mobile is owned by TracFone, which is owned by Verizon. It's a legitimate company that's been around since 2009.
More importantly, Simple Mobile runs on T-Mobile's network—the same network as Metro by T-Mobile. So you're getting the same coverage and quality as T-Mobile, just at prepaid prices. Over a million customers use Simple Mobile because it offers great value without sacrificing network quality."
Objection 2: "Prepaid service is lower quality than postpaid"
Response: "I hear that a lot, but it's actually a myth. Simple Mobile runs on the exact same T-Mobile network as T-Mobile postpaid customers. Same towers, same coverage, same 5G access.
The only difference is network priority during extreme congestion. If a tower is completely overloaded—which is rare—postpaid customers might get slightly faster speeds. But 95% of the time, you won't notice any difference.
And here's the thing: you're saving $30-$50 per month compared to postpaid. Is it worth paying an extra $360-$600 per year for a tiny speed difference that you'll almost never experience? Most people say no—they'd rather save the money."
Objection 3: "What if I need customer support?"
Response: "Simple Mobile has customer support available 24/7 by phone, chat, and online. You can call anytime if you have questions or issues.
Plus, as your dealer, I'm here to help you. If you have problems with your service, come see me and I'll help troubleshoot or contact Simple Mobile on your behalf. You're not on your own—you have support both from Simple Mobile and from me."
Objection 4: "I need more than 10GB of data"
Response: "No problem! Simple Mobile has multiple unlimited plans. The $40 plan includes 10GB of high-speed data, but if you need more, we have:
$50/month: 15GB high-speed data + 10GB hotspot
$60/month: Unlimited high-speed data (50GB priority) + 15GB hotspot
How much data do you typically use per month? Let me check your current usage and recommend the right plan."
[Check customer's usage]
"Okay, you're using about 20GB per month. I'd recommend the $60 Unlimited Premium plan. You get unlimited high-speed data with 50GB of priority data, so you'll never run out. And you're still saving money compared to postpaid carriers."
Objection 5: "Can I keep my phone number?"
Response: "Absolutely! We can port your number over from your current carrier. You keep the exact same phone number—nothing changes except your carrier and your lower bill.
The porting process usually takes 15-30 minutes. All I need is your account number and PIN from your current carrier, and we'll handle the rest. Your old service automatically cancels once the port is complete, so you don't have to call them."
Objection 6: "What if I travel internationally?"
Response: "Great question. Simple Mobile includes unlimited calling TO 69+ countries, but if you're traveling internationally and need service while you're there, you'd need to purchase an international roaming add-on or use a local SIM card.
For most customers, the unlimited calling to other countries is the big benefit—you can call family in Mexico, India, China, etc. as much as you want from the U.S. at no extra cost.
If you travel internationally frequently and need data/calling while abroad, I can show you other options. But if you mainly call internationally from the U.S., Simple Mobile is perfect."
Objection 7: "I'm worried about being locked into a long-term plan"
Response: "You're not locked in at all! Simple Mobile is true prepaid with no contracts. You can cancel anytime without penalties or fees.
If you choose a monthly plan, you pay month-to-month and can stop whenever you want. If you choose a multi-month plan (3 or 6 months), you prepay for that period, but there's no commitment beyond that. Once your prepaid period ends, you can renew, switch plans, or cancel—totally your choice.
No contracts, no commitments, no early termination fees. That's the beauty of prepaid."

Target attach rate: 60-70% of customers buy accessories
5. Additional Lines
Pitch: "You're getting one line for $40. Do you have family members who need service? If you add a second line, it's only $35 per line—you'd both save money. Or if you add three more lines for a total of four, it's just $25 per line. Want to bring your family over and save even more?"
