When do we use assumptive language?

• A. At the start of the call
• B. When asking for email and phone number
• C. When confirming policy number
• D. After the claim is filed

Answer: (B)

Assumptive language works by framing requests as a natural next step in the process, which keeps the conversation smooth and reduces hesitation. Asking for an email and phone number is the best use because those details are required to move the referral forward—so you can send confirmations, coordinate the next actions, and follow up. Presenting it as a given part of the workflow helps the customer provide what you need without friction. Other options aren’t as aligned with this tactic: starting the call doesn’t push the process forward, asking for a policy number targets a specific piece of information rather than advancing the workflow, and discussing after the claim is filed focuses on a later stage rather than efficiently collecting essential contact details.
