We frequently get asked by Travel Advisors, who believe in Medjet and want their clients protected,
"When do I introduce Medjet to my client?"
We thought we'd share what many of our most successful resellers have told us are "the right times" to bring up medjet memberships to your client!
Short-Term Trips
At the time of booking - Short-Term memberships are more time sensitive and should be purchased at the time of the booking. If the date happens to change, the Medjet membership date range can be changed too.
Big Trips (there are 2 times in your sales process to look out for):
1. When you begin planning the trip ~ you will discuss tickets and hotels, passports and visa needs, travel insurance, and can bring up Medjet. Travel insurance, with trip cancellation/interruption and medical, is important, and introducing Medjet as “elevated" travel protection fits into the same conversation.
2. At final payment – Unlike travel insurance, Medjet is not tied to a purchase period of 14 or 21 days from initial deposit. So if they declined in the planning process, there is time to bring it up again as you discuss their “final checklist”.
Life Events (show them you think about them even when you're NOT currently scheduling a trip)!
As their personal travel advisor, you likely know about major life events, as well as their travel patterns. If they're heavy business travelers, sending a child off to college or camp, Medjet can help keep them safe. There are many opportunities to pick up the phone and have a conversation about the benefits of Medjet as an annual safety net for all of their journeys.
