A New Age of Life Insurance
How to Target Millennials

Being the nation's largest generation, millennials are becoming an abundant resource for  advisors to expand their insurance and financial services. Research shows that now more than ever millennials are financially savvy and may simply lack solid information about
insurance and other financial-planning options.

By welcoming a new generation of clients, you can give yourself the opportunity to grow your practice for decades. However in aiming to work with multiple generations, advisors need to be aware of the millennial outlook and keep an open mind.
