What is GAP? Is that another kind of car insurance?

Coach focus: Clarify the category without assuming the product is appropriate.

How would you respond?

Choose the response that best supports clear education, voluntary choice, and approved boundaries.

Questions to discuss after practice.

Coach the employee’s reasoning and boundaries, not memorization of the example response.

  1. 01Did the employee distinguish GAP from insurance?
  2. 02Were limits and contract control made clear?
