The Life Insurance Process:
*Due to compliance and regulations, the Life Insurance process follows a straight forward formula.
The Meeting / Discussion
In person, a Life Insurance Needs Analysis must be completed. Advisors need to do this to correctly identify a client’s specific life insurance needs based on specific and accurate facts.
i.e.: income needs, asset level, debt level, number of dependents, etc.
A discussion of the different product options available in the market must happen. Certain products work for certain situations and an advisor must explore all options with a client before we can make an informed decision.
i.e.: Term Insurance vs. Permanent Insurance
Needs vs. Budget

Shopping the Market
After the information is collected and the options have been discussed, I go to the major insurance companies I am contracted with and I shop the market for pricing options. I work hard at finding my clients the right policy that suits their needs and fits into their budget.

The Decision
Once the pricing is known, the decision is made by my client. I simply provide options and offer advice. After my client has made a decision we can now start the application process.
