Write me a polite phone script to negotiate my car insurance. I pay $156/month with State Farm. Progressive quoted $118 for comparable coverage. I have been a customer for years and I am willing to switch if they cannot match it. Keep it firm but calm, and tell me what to say if the first rep refuses.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish. Goal: Draft a calm retention script to match a competitor car-insurance quote. Questions to ask me first: - Current insurer, price, and tenure? - Competitor quote details? - Coverage must-haves? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Current: [INSURER / $ / MONTH] - Competitor: [QUOTE] - Coverage: [SAME LIMITS] - Tenure: [YEARS] Rules: - Do not invent competitor prices I did not provide. - Stay polite; ask for retention if needed. - I place the call myself. - Note what to verify on the declarations page. Checkpoint: Show the opening script before objection branches. If you get stuck: If coverage differs, stop and ask me to compare declarations. Verify before you finish: Script uses only my numbers and facts. Output: Call script with retention branch. Done when: I can dial and ask for a match without improvising.
