In this edition of the CBU News, we highlight Medicare, our Featured Agent Allan Beck, a chance for you to earn a FREE trip to Old Orchard Beach, and the key to the missing link.

Allan Beck of Cornerstone Financial Services

 

Allan Beck

When it comes to investment and income planning advice, Allan Beck of Cornerstone Financial Services offers undoubtedly the best.  Allan has been in the insurance and financial industry since 1988, and over the years, his commitment to his clients has always stayed the same:

 

"To assist individuals in the growth and protection of their assets with investment solutions that help facilitate the transfer of wealth to the next generation in the most tax-favored and simplest manner."     

 

Perhaps coming from a long-line of entrepreneurs that have kept their businesses in the family, Allan understands the importance of proper legacy planning.  Allan is the grandson of the late B.P. Moody, the 1927 founder of the famous Moody's Diner, and he is also grandson of the late Carl Beck who founded C.O. Beck & Sons in 1920.  Drawing from his professional advising and family business experience, Allan is well versed in the legal issues that can arise when structuring assets to preserve and pass down estates.

The Missing Link
A Sales Idea for Worksite Agents   
 
Missing Link RoundService is the invisible missing link to repeat business.  When it comes to servicing your Worksite clients, call every 90 days and ask the '4 magic questions'.

1.  Are your invoices still coming on time, to the proper address, and seem accurate?

2.  Are there any claims that you are aware of?

3. Has anyone left or been terminated?

4.  Are there any new hires since we last spoke? 

 

While you don't want to wear out your welcome, you want your account to know that you care, are available, and can resolve any issues that may arise. Try using these '4 magic questions', and you might find this to be your invisible missing link.  

Combined Benefits United is an Independent Marketing Organization that is focused on powering insurance and financial professionals to be the best they can be.  We proudly partner with the nation's top insurance companies to better offer clients a full range of life and legacy planning products.

We welcome the opportunity to work with all of our agents, and we consider everyone to be a part of the CBU Team.

  

Sincerely, 

Ray sig no back
