Individual Sales

First things first. We help you with carrier appointments. We've got all the forms. We'll help you fill them out and submit them for you. We know what each state and carrier requires. Which carriers appoint in advance of production and which don't. We'll help you through the maze!

The initial LTCI discussion with your client is critical. We'll help you with each step in the Marketing and Sales Process including key underwriting questions to determine insurability. Nothing's worse than talking up the need for LTCI and not being able to deliver because the client is uninsurable. We'll assist with pre-underwriting consultations.

We excel at plan design. We've developed A Road Map to Plan Design to help you gather the details needed to design a meaningful plan for your client. It's simple and direct and will save you time. We'll offer you comparisons and provide the information you need to position each plan.

No two carriers' illustrations are alike. To easily compare plans and premiums, we provide a customized Long-Term Care Insurance Plan and Premium Comparison Chart complete with a legend that defines each entry. It simplifies the analysis and saves you time.

We offer advisors two Sales Support Tracks:

• Track One: We make the sale with your help. With the odds that one in two of us will need long-term care, financial advisors know they need to discuss LTCI with clients. But it's a complex product and many don't want to become expert in this product.
  
  We can help! We'll handle the LTCI transaction for you. We're experienced and can augment your product offerings. We've developed a simple process to be your LTCI department. Call us for details!
• Track Two: You make the sale with our help. We know that some advisors aren't comfortable introducing clients to a licensed producer. Remember, we focus exclusively in LTCI and are not selling any other products. We're partnering, not competing!
  
  We will work with you on every step in the process to be sure that you are prepared for each client call or meeting. We'll help you become an LTCI expert in no time! Call us for details!

Multi-Life Discount Program Sales

We're also experienced in multi-life discount programs for associations and employer groups. We can help you take advantage of this very lucrative market segment. From qualifying your group through education and application processing, we're your expert resource.

Application Processing

We're pros. We'll audit your applications and be sure they are complete. With all the different applications and forms, we know what a challenge it is to keep up with carrier requirements and form changes. We'll "scrub" your applications. We'll order medical records when required to speed the process. We'll even advise you when a cover letter should accompany the application.
