Underwriting Spotlight

 

Diabetes

 

Diabetes is a disesae that in most situations can be well controlled if a person is disciplined enough to do so.

 

To provide an accurate quote for a diabetic we need to know the age of onset, what their glucose levels usually run and the last A1C reading done by their doctor.

Afterwords 

 

Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but rather a manner of traveling.

 

-- Margaret Lee Runbeck

Life Plans

We have a lot of product updates this month!
 
West Coast and Protective term policies issued after 1-1-08 have a limited opportunity to convert to a guaranteed UL.  Please call for quotes.
Jeff
 
Effective Feb. 21st, Lincoln National is (1) taking their DurationsUL product off the market, (2) slightly raising the cost for their guaranteed UL and SUL plans, and (3) decreasing policy fees on their term plans.  Applications must be in the H.O. by March 22nd to hold old rates.
 
Effective Feb. 27th, Genworth is also raising the cost on their guaranteed UL and SUL plans.  Applications must be in the H.O. by Feb. 26th in order to hold old rates.
 
Transamerica's new TransAce guaranteed UL was designed with the consumer in mind!  At no add'l charge the policies are issued with an endorsement that allows the policyowner to surrender the policy and receive 100% of premiums paid or 33% of the face amount on the 15th or 20th policy anniversary, or on the 25th anniversary or any time after.  Call for complete details.

SalesTipSales Tip 

Five Quick Hit Referral Ideas You Can Use Today, by Bill Cates, The Referral Coach:
  1. Get your clients to brag about you on LinkedIn, Facebook & Twitter.  Word-of-mouth is now word-of-internet.
  2. Ask your clients if they ever talk about you to others.  If they do, ask them what they say.  That way, you can tweak it to the most effective terms.
  3. What is the value you bring your prospect on your very first appointment?  Arriving to serve can create sales and make you referable quickly.
  4. Reduce appointment cancellations by sending something of value before your appointment.  The bigger the prospect the more you might want to invest in this.  It can be as simple as a mug with candy in it.  What fits your business and your level of clientele?
  5. Get your staff involved in the process.  When a client expresses recognition of value, they can say, "Don't keep us a secret."
Thank you for your time and your business!
