NEW WAYS TO MAKE MONEY!

Very often our industry seems to shut down in July and August.  You go on vacation, your clients go on vacation, and even home office types go on vacation.  No Summer doldrums this year though - everyone is hungry for business!  Here are a few new offerings that can put money in your pocket.

 

West Coast Life has introduced the second of its "Mod Life UL" products.  The new "Mod 25" lowers the lifetime premium for the first five years by 25%, grades up in years 6-10, and levels in the 11th year and thereafter.  The curve is less steep than the "Mod 50" and is a great way to step your clients into a lifetime UL premium.

Here's a special bonus.  If you client has a West Coast term policy issued after 1/1/08 you can convert it through yearend into either the "Mod Life UL' series or the "Platinum Plus UL" product.  This is an offer that won't be repeated and is far better than the usual conversion products offered by most carriers.  Don't delay!

Genworth is paying full commissions on term replacements!!!  You need to take advantage of this while you can.  You can replace existing Genworth "Colony Term" products with the hot new "Colony Term UL" product and receive full first year commission.  This is a first for Genworth, you know you have a lot of their term on the books, and this is a way to get paid for rewriting it!

Speaking of replacements here's a way to make money and NOT replace.  If you have a fully underwritten term policy issued by a reputable carrier in the last three years at standard or better, ages 18-65 and up to $2 million, Nationwide will issue up to the same amount of their best, fully guaranteed, lifetime no lapse UL product, including the Long Term Care Rider if desired, without new evidence other than an MIB and Pharma screen - and you don't have to surrender the term policy!  What a great way to place additional coverage with very little effort.  Full commissions too on a very good product!  Call us for an illustration.

 

Prudential has lowered its term rates and is once again competitive.  Pru will also issue Preferred even if there is a death prior to age 60 from cardiovascular or cancer causes in an immediate family member.  This one change can be a huge sale maker for you if you remember it's available - or just call one of us and ask for the company with good family history rates!

John Hancock increased its retention all the way to $10 million at ages 81-85 and $7.5 million to age 90.  This company does a very special (good!) underwriting job on older age applicants, particularly over 70.  If you have a case that fits the age and retention parameters Hancock is the carrier of choice.

There's more!  Banner cut its term rates - again!  Met Life will allow a loan carryover of up to 80% of the gross cash value in a 1035 exchange to its very good "Guarantee Advantage UL" and  "Legacy Advantage SUL" products.  United of Omaha is giving exceptional underwriting credits for good behaviors that can move a Table 2 all the way to Preferred.  AXA has a brand new state of the art indexed UL productand Sun Life's new "Accumulator UL" product has 100% first year cash value with truly huge commission targets.  ING cut their guaranteed UL rates 9% across the board!  Finally, Transamerica's TOP program allows you to write up to $1 million of new term using basically any fully underwritten product that is less than five years old, even if no longer in force, on a non medical basis between the ages of 18 and 60.

Call us for these and other ideas.  There's no time to play this Summer!

 

Thanks for your business always.
