West Coast Life has a lot of changes coming!
  • Effective immediately, 24 months of no nicotine are required for Preferred Non-Tobacco rates.  Standard Non-Tobacco rates are still available for 12 months of no nicotine use.  You can find all of the new changes under the LIFE PLANS - UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES tab on our website.
  • Effective December 1st, West Coast and Protective Life will consolidate both companies into one under the Protective Life brand, albeit utilizing the West Coast distribution model.  All submissions from December 1st forward must use the upcoming revised Protective apps/forms.
  • Effective August 1st, agents with a West Coast Life appointment will need to be re-appointed to the new Protective Life brokerage contract.  We will do this via a fast and easy e-mail tool.  Look for more info on this in the near future. 
  • Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the above changes.

  • Bailout rate declared at issue
  • 6 year surrender charge period
  • 10% penalty free withdrawals
  • Your client can annuitize in year two to avoid surrender penalties!
  • This is not an MVA product
  • 3% commission for ages 0 - 75 (comp drops for ages 76 - 85)

Disability Income 


Would you like to offer D.I. to your clients at a 15% - 20%Ellen discount...with no underwriting? 
Ask us about Guaranteed Standard Issue (GSI) for employer groups.  
GSI is available for groups as small as five lives on a mandatory basis, or 15 lives on a voluntary basis.
  
Sales idea:  Look for employer groups in which a number of employees are reaching the group LTD benefit ceiling.  Write GSI on those individuals (usually the executives) to increase income replacement percentage 70% - 80%.

SalesTipSales Tip - Referrals 

Success
Excerpts from The Referral Minute by Bill Cates. 

I just conducted a special referral boot camp for a group of about 50 highly-successful advisors (I mean highly successful). One of the advisors shared what he does to generate a steady flow of referrals from his "A" clients.

 

This advisor turns his clients into Word-of-Mouth Machines by providing them with a continual flow of shirts, umbrellas, and other high-quality, utilitarian items that his clients use on a regular basis. He told the group that "a $50 shirt is a small investment to get your clients to let others know that they are using you."  I'd like to add emphasis to the words high quality and utilitarian.  If the items you provide to your clients do not meet both criteria, you are wasting your money.  


This advisor has created a "culture of referrals". They love the work he does and are happy to spread the word in a low-key, easy way. 

Thank you for your time and your business!
