Warm transfers · Final expense

High-value, qualified transfers. Or your credit back.

Only pay for real conversations with qualified prospects

AI reviews every transfer against a written rulebook. If the call ends inside the 90-second buffer for a reason on the list, the credit comes back to your balance. No emails to the vendor, no arguing over a recording.

The rulebook

Twelve ways a transfer is credited back.

These are the rules the AI reads on every call, in plain words. What doesn’t count is written down too. A credit you can predict beats one you have to argue for, and a rule a vendor can sign is one they keep honouring. Scroll, and the table fills in rule by rule.

01 · Not interested

They say no, in their own words.

The prospect says clearly that they don’t want final expense or burial coverage information.

Counts

  • “Not interested”
  • “Stop calling me”
  • “Take me off your list”
  • “I never asked for this”
  • A wrong number with no interest of their own

Doesn’t count

  • “Let me think about it”
  • “Call me later”
  • Asking about price
  • Silence or a hang-up read as a no

02 · No bank account

Nothing to draft a premium from.

They confirm no checking account, no savings account, and no Chime or Cash App. “I pay cash”, a prepaid card or Direct Express only count when they say outright that there’s no account.

Counts

  • No checking
  • No savings
  • No Chime or Cash App

Doesn’t count

  • Has Chime or Cash App
  • Any account a premium can draft from

03 · Disqualifying health

A condition no plan will write today.

They say they currently have cancer under treatment, COPD, kidney failure or dialysis, dementia, or Alzheimer’s. If your agency sells guaranteed-issue plans, you can still write these, so the rule doesn’t credit them.

Counts

  • Cancer being treated now
  • COPD
  • Kidney failure or dialysis
  • Dementia
  • Alzheimer’s

Doesn’t count

  • A past cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Heart issues
  • A past stroke
  • High blood pressure
  • Oxygen use
  • A condition they deny

04 · Abusive or hostile

Nobody should have to stay on that call.

The prospect is verbally abusive, threatening, uses slurs or keeps swearing at your agent, or is so agitated that carrying on would be wrong.

Counts

  • Threats
  • Slurs
  • Sustained profanity at your agent

Doesn’t count

  • Ordinary irritation
  • A firm “no”

05 · Not mentally competent

They can’t follow the call, or can’t decide.

They can’t answer basic questions about themselves, still don’t understand the call after it’s explained, or answer incoherently throughout. A caregiver on the line saying they can’t make decisions counts too.

Counts

  • Can’t answer basic questions
  • Still lost after it’s explained
  • Incoherent throughout
  • A caregiver says so

Doesn’t count

  • Confused by insurance terms
  • Hard of hearing
  • A slow answer

06 · Nursing-home residency

They live in care.

They say they currently live in a nursing home, an assisted-living facility, memory care or hospice.

Counts

  • Nursing home
  • Assisted living
  • Memory care
  • Hospice

Doesn’t count

  • Living with family
  • Senior apartments
  • Independent living

07 · Age outside range

Under 50 or over 80, by their own count.

The prospect states an age, or a birth year that implies one, below 50 or above 80. It has to be their age, said by them.

Counts

  • Their own stated age
  • A birth year that puts them out of range

Doesn’t count

  • The age the transfer rep announced
  • An age your agent guessed

08 · No response

The prospect never says a word.

On a transfer, the vendor’s rep speaks first to introduce the prospect. Those are the rep’s words. If, after the handover, the prospect says nothing at all (silence, only noise, a line gone quiet while your agent tries for a reply), it’s credited, whoever hung up. When the customer side holds one word or less, the platform credits it on its own.

Counts

  • Silence
  • Only noise
  • No reply to your agent

Doesn’t count

  • “Yeah”
  • “Hello”
  • “Mhmm”
  • Their name

09 · Agent hung up within 20 seconds

Twenty seconds, no questions asked.

Any call your agent ends at 20 seconds or less is credited, whatever was said. The platform decides it from the call’s own timing, on the vendor’s clock: your desk timer starts where theirs did, so you both read the same seconds.

Counts

  • Your agent ends the call at 0:20 or less

Doesn’t count

  • 0:21 and on: the other rules decide

10 · Prospect hung up inside the buffer

They hang up before 90 seconds.

The prospect ends the call inside the buffer, for any reason. The platform decides it from who hung up and when, no transcript needed.

Counts

  • The prospect hangs up inside 90 seconds

Doesn’t count

  • A hang-up after the buffer

11 · Audio or connection failure Default rule set

A line that never worked.

A real audio or connection failure from the start of the call stopped any meaningful conversation: the prospect can’t hear your agent, or the line is dead or garbled throughout, and the call ends because of it.

Counts

  • Can’t hear your agent
  • Dead or garbled throughout

Doesn’t count

  • A brief glitch
  • Background noise
  • A call that recovered

12 · Fake or troll prospect Default rule set

Pretending, on the record.

The recording clearly shows the person pretended to be interested to waste time, gave obviously false information, or joked the whole way through. Suspicion isn’t enough: the transcript itself has to show it.

Counts

  • Fake interest to waste time
  • Obviously false information
  • Joking throughout

Doesn’t count

  • Your agent’s hunch

Rules are set per campaign. These last two are in our default rule set; your campaign’s list is in the app.

  • AutomaticReviewed after every transfer. Nobody files anything.
  • Back to your balanceThe call credit returns, ready for the next transfer.
  • With its reasonThe rule, and the words that matched it, on the call.

Fair both ways

Three checks before any credit.

A credit only stands when the timing, the words and the confidence all line up. That’s what makes the verdicts something you can plan around, and something a vendor will accept.

01 · The clock

Inside the buffer, on the vendor’s clock.

On warm transfers the buffer is 90 seconds. It’s timed on the vendor’s clock, and your desk timer starts where theirs did, so everyone reads the same number.

02 · The words

In the prospect’s own words.

The AI has to quote what was said, and the quote has to be found on the prospect’s side of the transcript. Your agent’s words and the rep’s intro never count as theirs.

03 · The doubt

Not sure? A person decides.

A credit the AI is less than 85% sure of is never applied on its own. It goes to a person on our team, as does a call with no transcript inside the buffer.

And what you always pay for.

A real conversation is a billable one. Three kinds of call are always billable, which is what makes the rest of the rulebook fair to the vendor too.

  • The call ran past 90 secondsPast the buffer, it’s a conversation.
  • Your agent gave a priceOnce a premium is spoken, even at 0:45, the call is billable.
  • Your agent was the problemWrong information, rudeness, or hanging up on someone still engaged.

The science

From our own floor, not a brochure.

Every number here comes from warm transfers taken on the NextGen platform, judged by the rules above.

Every transfer reviewed, in seconds.

Real prod data · Sep 28 to Oct 21, 2026
  • 24 s From hang-up to the AI’s verdict

    The median AI decision. Nine in ten were in within 26 seconds.

  • 5:35 The median billable transfer

    Minutes and seconds of talk time, from the moment the call reaches your agent.

  • 60% Of billable transfers ran past three minutes

    Real conversations, long enough to quote and qualify.

16%

Of billable warm transfers had a policy written within 14 days, from Sep 21 to Oct 21, 2026.

How we measured: every AI review of a transfer on our Warm Transfers campaign (90-second buffer) from Sep 28 to Oct 21, 2026. Talk time runs from the moment the call is bridged to your agent to hang-up. “Policy within 14 days” is a policy recorded on that lead within 14 days of the call, so it can include a sale on a later call. Your results will vary.

Disputes

Disagree? Appeal it from the call.

Every transfer sits in your call history with its verdict and its reason. If you think the AI got one wrong, appeal it in a tap. A person on our team listens, and if they agree, the credit comes back.

  • 30 minmedian from a dispute or appeal to a decision
  • 63%decided within an hour
  • 84%decided within a day
  • Appeal any AI verdict straight from the call, with one tap.
  • Or dispute a charged call yourself, with a reason, for up to 7 days.
  • A real person decides: the NextGen team, not the vendor.

Measured on our Warm Transfers campaign, Sep 28 to Oct 21, 2026, on disputes and appeals decided by a person. A median, not a promise; the slowest took a few days.

Then close them

  • No sale unrecorded

    Sale detection catches a sale on the call and fills the form from it. Nothing saves until you press Save.

    Every policy and client timeline, with tasks that write themselves.

  • Nurture the book

    Timed email sequences from your own mailbox, with unsubscribe and DNC stops built in.

Questions

When is a warm transfer billable?

When it’s a real conversation: the call runs past the 90-second buffer, or your agent gives the prospect a price. Inside the buffer, a call that ends for a reason in the rulebook is credited. A call that ends inside the buffer for no listed reason (your agent hangs up at 0:45 with nothing on the list, say) is billable.

What does “your credit back” mean?

Each warm transfer uses one prepaid call credit. When a call is credited, that credit returns to your balance for the same campaign, ready for the next transfer, and your desk shows it. Credits are not paid back as cash.

How fast does a credit come back?

On our floor, the AI’s verdict landed a median of 24 seconds after the call ended, and nine in ten within 26 seconds. A verdict the AI isn’t sure of goes to a person instead.

Whose clock times the buffer?

The vendor’s. The buffer starts when the vendor transfers the call, a few seconds before it reaches you, so your desk timer starts at the same point. You and the vendor read the same seconds.

Can I dispute a verdict?

Yes. Appeal any AI verdict from the call in your call history, or dispute a charged call yourself with a reason, for up to 7 days. A person on the NextGen team reviews it..

Which rules apply to my campaign?

Each campaign carries its own copy of the rules, so a rule can be switched on or off for one campaign without touching the others. The rules on this page are the ones we run; the exact list for your campaign is in the app.

Do the calls come with a script?

Yes. We put our final expense script on your desk, and Script Walker™ walks it one click per answer. You can also use your own script, or import one from a document.

When will transfers reach me?

Only when you’re free: vendors check who’s available before they transfer, and a call prefers an agent licensed in the caller’s state.
