Coffee Meeting Presentation
Coffee meetings are your gateway to building relationships that turn into clients, referrals, and new team members. This is where you explain what we do and how we get paid in a casual, no-pressure environment.
Why Coffee Meetings Work
Section titled “Why Coffee Meetings Work”Think about it: nobody likes being sold to, but everyone loves meeting interesting people over coffee. Coffee meetings work because they’re:
- Low pressure - It’s just a conversation, not a sales pitch
- Natural setting - People expect to chat and share stories over coffee
- Time-limited - Everyone knows coffee meetings have a clear end time
- Relaxed atmosphere - More open to listening and learning
Your Presentation Objectives
Section titled “Your Presentation Objectives”When you sit down for coffee, your goals are simple:
- Build rapport first - Get to know them as a person, not a prospect
- Share your story - Why you joined Primerica and what excites you
- Explain the business - What we do and how we help families
- Show how we get paid - Transparency builds trust
- Plant seeds - For them as a client, referral source, or potential teammate

Remember: Coffee meetings are about building relationships. The business will come naturally when people trust you and see you’re genuinely there to help.
Remember: You’re not there to sell anything. You’re there to share how you help families. That’s it. People buy when they’re ready, not when you’re ready to sell.
