It's our Responsibility!



More than flowers when they need it most
Have you ever had a client walk into your office to file a claim on their loved one's Life Insurance – only there wasn’t any in place?

This may well be every Insurance Agents' worst nightmare


As Insurance Professionals, we help our clients insure against loss so why not help them protect their families against the loss of THE greatest asset they have – their lives. 

There really are no good excuses for not offering Life Insurance to every client.










Which of these statements would most comfort a grieving spouse?

  • "I’m sorry, there just never was a good time to sit down and apply for coverage."
  • "I’m sorry, it never came up."
  • "I’m sorry, we didn’t get to it, everything else seemed so much more important."
  • "I’m sorry; eating out one less time a month in order to budget in a Life Insurance premium just wasn’t appealing."
  • "I’m sorry, I didn’t do my job."
  • "I'm sorry for your loss, we'll have this processed right away and provide you with the funds to help you and your family through this difficult time" 



We all understand not every case is cut and dry, but that doesn’t mean don’t try!

And, of course no one expects every agent to know every product and every underwriting guide – and that’s why we are here to help. 

Your function is to ask the questions, get the conversation started, _____________, then present the options.

We fill in the blank!

With one call to our office, we will research all of the options with our 30 + carriers for you to be sure you are able to maximize every dollar for every client, every time! 

If there is a need, chances are we have a way to fill it – and that makes starting the conversation even easier.

Ask the questions, start the conversation, then give us a call. 

Not sure what questions to ask, ask us – we will be happy to provide you with a guideline to use with every client. 

Not sure what coverage options are available, give us a call, we’re here to help.


Bottom line is, if you don’t ask, the answer is always no – and “no” just isn’t good enough for a grieving family.


Call us any time – we make “LIFE” easier!

GENWORTH BACKS DOWN!

With this week’s announcement from Genworth that they will be dropping their 30 year term and increasing the rates on their 10 and 20 year term, Protective Life is emerging as the new low-cost leader in the term market. We run literally dozens of term illustrations every day and in most cases Protective proves to be the choice of the agent.


In addition to the competitive price, there are other less-obvious reasons to choose Protective;


1) NO POLICY FEE. Every dime of the premium is commissionable!

2) NO MONTHLY BANK DRAFT FEE. If you write most of your cases on a monthly bank draft – THESE RATES are usually the best.

3) FULLY CONVERTIBLE PRODUCTS. Convertible to age 70 (or the guaranteed period of the policy – maximum 21 years - whichever comes first).

4) SIXTY-ONE DAY GRACE PERIOD. Remember – this product is actually on a UL chassis.

5) ONE PAGE APPLICATIONS PROCESS. The TeleLife system provides two different platforms for submitting your new business (either the on-line version or the famous ONE PAGE paper version).

6) VERY COMPETITIVE UNDERWRITING. Protective utilizes a unique system that allow the underwriter to pick the most liberal interpretation from two different reinsurance manuals. They are very competitive in the ‘slightly impaired’ market.

Thanks for your business!
