Can We Sell Just One Zip Code?
Overview
Agents often ask about the rules for purchasing a single zip code through the Guaranteed Display (SGD) program. While it is possible to sell one zip code, certain restrictions apply, and promotional discounts are not available for single-zip purchases.
Rules for Selling One Zip Code
-
No Bundle Discount
- The pricing for a single zip code is at the full retail price with no promotional or bundled pricing applied.
-
No Split Payments
- Payment for one zip code must be made in full upfront.
-
No Six-Month Term
- Single-zip purchases require a 12-month commitment. Six-month terms are not available for these transactions.
Example Scenario
- Agent Inquiry: "I’m interested in purchasing just one zip code. Can I split payments?"
- Rep Response: "We’re happy to help set up a single zip code, but I want to share some details. For one zip code, the purchase requires a 12-month commitment, and the payment would need to be made in full upfront as bundle discounts and split payments aren’t available for single-zip purchases. Would you like me to check availability and pricing for your preferred zip code?"
Key Points for Reps
- Highlight that single-zip purchases are possible but emphasize the full price and term requirements.
- Check availability of the agent’s preferred zip code in Sherpa or the Agent Portal before confirming pricing.
- Offer to discuss multiple zip codes to explain potential benefits and savings through bundle discounts.
