short term medical is a good option. It will not cover pre-existing conditions. It is really for major medical since benefits are not ACA compliance. Length of short term medical coverage depends on state you reside. Some allow 6 months to 12 months. Few states allow only 90 days with no renewal...

short term medical is a good option. It will not cover pre-existing conditions. It is really for major medical since benefits are not ACA compliance. Length of short term medical coverage depends on state you reside. Some allow 6 months to 12 months. Few states allow only 90 days with no renewal on the same carrier.
However, if they are looking for real comprehensive coverage, you may look into group plan.
If you already currently have a group plan and they will be hired as W-2 employees, the easy way is to add them and take them off after 6 months. You may need to look at your contract on the eligibility date; date of hire, first day of the following month after 60 day of hire, etc.
If you don't have a group plan, you can start a new group.
On group plan, rates are locked for 12 months even they no longer work with you. If you decide to terminate your group plan, it will open an option for every one to obtain individual health as a special enrollment period.

I normally ask or set time frame to follow up. Write down the date, time, and method of meeting such as phone call or in person and give to client. And follow up on that day. If it is a live meeting, I send an email reminder a day before.

Identify who you are clearly that shows your authority, ask for few second, most will say yes, get to your point of calling in 30 second. Practice your talk. And be prepared for "No". They say no to your service not to you. put on your note. perhaps try to call back again after few weeks. Good...

I don't do cold calling but receive them numerous time. Everyone wants to tell me what to buy right away and don't listen when I tell the caller politely that I am in a middle of something. Don't be those kind of people.

Ouch! it hurts. You have senses why you lost the business.
Instead of asking why. I would send them a hand written thank you note for the past business with a business card. with closing of the experiences the client gave makes you to improve to do better. And, you are here for them to be of service in a near future.
Deep breathe, move on, and stay connected with them quarterly.
Good luck,
