She came out, was the nicest lady in the world, invited me in, told me to make myself at home, turned the lights up, offered me water, etc.

She said she had a policy that was 11 or so yrs old, she was paying $109/mo, but didn't know anything else. I called the company and got all the info. She'd had it for seven yrs. and it had a cash value of $2400. I was able to get her the exact same coverage for $42/mo LESS than she was paying and all that $2400 back. COULD NOT CLOSE HER. She said I might be trying to scam her. I told her she was already scammed seven yrs ago and I was trying to fix it and save her a ton of money. And she has a b-day coming up. Her daughter was home, so I asked her to call her daughter into the room. I was sure she was going to kick me out, but she called her daughter in. Daughter was super nice. I explained the situation to her and she looked at her mom and said, "Why aren't you doing this? He's giving you such a better deal. C'mon, Mom." Could not close her. She has to think about it. This is why she's poor.

Why did she contact you (so you claim) when she did not trust you and you could not close her? Why did she call you in the first place ? What was she expecting? Or did you cold call her like a boiler room con artist ?
