Life Plans

Have you downloaded our new mobile app, yet?  Now you can runMobile App  term and GUL spreadsheets anytime, anywhere.  The download is available via our website.
  
Genworth's GUL and indexed UL plans are unique in that they will issue down to age zero at Preferred Best rates.  Most other carriers will only issue Standard rates on kids.  Ask for a Genworth quote on your next child-related GUL or cash accumulation sale.
  
Effective Sept. 3rd, Genworth decreased Colony Term rates an average of 12% in most age/rate class cells.  A few isolated cells have a slight rate increase.  For pending cases until October 4th, upon underwriting approval, we will run quotes for both old and new rates to confirm which is lowest and instruct Genworth to issue, accordingly.  After October 4th, the new rates will apply to all cases.

Prospecting 101: Top of the Table Producers Share What Works
  
Become An Expert:  Regardless of whether it is LTC, annuities, estate planning, etc., establish yourself as an expert on a subject, get the proper credentials and write articles that have depth.Success
  
Develop Discipline: Stay focused and don't deviate.
  
Demand Referrals:  Try a new way in which you run your meetings.  Provide your customer with an agenda of what you will be talking about before the meeting.  It can include "Other Ideas" to add some flexibility, but, the last item on the agenda should be "Referrals".
  
Everyone Is A Prospect:  Don't fumble when asked about what you do.  Confidence and a passion for your work will breed success.
  
Know Who You Are Dealing With:  Customer intimacy is often overlooked.  Data taking is an area of weakness with many producers.  Profiling clients make the difference between some success and great success.
  
Use Centers of Influence:  Working with CPAs and attorneys is the most effective way to build your business.  These professionals help your prospects make decisions.  Become a part of the decision making team.
Thank you for your time and your business!
