To say that the nature, the underwriting and the life insurance products have changed and changed remarkably over the last 10 years is an understatement. There is the old world of life insurance and now we are really, truly living in a new world and customers, both...

2017 was a fantastic year for progress in life insurance underwriting. Business boomed for those companies bold enough to acknowledge and embrace major medical breakthroughs and the life insurance agents that represented those companies could finally announce fair...

This is a step above, maybe several steps above your spouse suggesting that it is time for you to get life insurance. You should listen to your spouse because this is usually an awkward subject to bring up which means something important has triggered the request....

I’m probably not headed in the direction you might think with that title, but we need to have a talk. I have clients that have been paying their life insurance bills that were mailed to them and checks mailed back to the company for 20 years without a hitch. I...

I suppose on superficial level that title deserves an explanation. Toilets replicate death. Not deep enough? When something disappears down a toilet you can’t get it back. In almost all cases that’s a good thing, right? But life is like what’s in...

Big old double asterisk here**. In consideration of replacing your life insurance policy with a new one that has potentially better rates or more death benefit or a longer (or shorter) term length, NEVER, and I really mean never, cancel the policy you want to get rid...

Has Mr Murphy of Murphy’s Law invaded your business plans that involve a need for life insurance. I’m not pessimist enough to believe that “if things can go wrong, they will” but I know what a mess it can make when you are presented with a need...

Now that’s what I’ve been talking about for years. For every effort and struggle I’ve gone through on behalf of fair life insurance treatment for HIV+ clients, you, the clients, have been the people that have suffered for so long. Unable to provide...

What a slow, slow dance this has been trying to find a company, wait for a company, invent a company…that would take the HIV+ life insurance market seriously. At last count we have been through six big name companies that have sworn they were in the HIV+ life...

With the king sized jacking around that life insurance companies are giving HIV+ clients and the agents that fight for them I am occasionally left wondering if the whole game is worth it. Life insurance companies seem to decline and very rarely approve these policies...

Although indexed universal life insurance sales seem to be losing some momentum, the fact that they are still the highest sold life insurance product on the market today is a testament to both the greed of Americans and, more importantly, the disingenuous direction...

The old saying “you get what your pay for” insinuates that often going the less expensive direction in a purchase can leave you, well, feeling like maybe the choice wasn’t an apples for apples choice. You’re left wishing you had spent a little...

We’ve discussed at length (some would say ad nauseum) in this forum about the critical need for business life insurance for the key people in your company. The CEO having key person life insurance is going to be demanded by lenders as your business grows and...

It’s an interesting conundrum that the same thing could contribute so much to my success, and my failure, depending on how patient any given potential client is. I don’t deny that I can be, not demanding, but insistent on my clients being involved in our...

I have been known to be something of a zealot when it comes to my opinions on life insurance companies that treat their loyal customers poorly, but I am also a zealot when it comes to great BBQ. I think it gives me credibility that I’m not grumpy about...
