Sales Concept Playbook

Presented by Gary Peterson Agents are always asking the question, “How can I get my clients and prospects interested in buying Life insurance?”  At Financial Brokerage, we have partnered with many carriers to offer sales ideas and concepts for you to use.  Here is an example from North American’s “Sales Concept Playbook”. Legacy Building: Help Maximize Assets Passed to Beneficiaries “Leverage is a term that most people have heard but few take advantage of. Life insurance provides an opportunity to use leverage to pass on greater assets to your heirs.  Think of it as buying dollars for pennies. If you have funds available to pass onto your heirs, each of those pennies can buy dollars and, therefore, leave behind a greater financial legacy.  The leverage of life insurance makes this possible.” Questions to ask:  “Do you have funds that in your mind are already set aside for passing on to your heirs at your death?”  “Are you sure you won’t need these funds in your lifetime?”  “Would you like to explore how, using those funds, you could multiply the amount of financial legacy you leave for your loved ones?”  Give us a call at 800-397-9999 and let’s work together to increase your Life Insurance sales.

Fixed Index Annuities: Sales growing, products evolving!

Presented by Richard Mangiameli For the first time, FIAs accounted for more than 50% of the market share for all annuity sales! Not only did sales reach over $48 billion in 2014, they are also gaining popularity in the “Broker-Dealer” channel. FIAs totaled 10% of the total broker-dealer annuity sales in 2014, and broker-dealers expect that share to grow. There are many financial planners who think that Fixed Index Annuities are the worst – too complicated and too many moving parts. It’s important that they take a closer look. FIAs are not complicated and there are not too many moving parts, and with the growth FIAs are having, they are not the worst things out there for your clients. FIAs just celebrated 20 years in the business, and they are here to stay. It would greatly help your business and your clients for you to learn and understand Fixed Index Annuities. Here is how you can learn more – call an Independent Marketing Office (IMO) such as Financial Brokerage, who has been in the market for over two decades and works with several insurance companies who offer FIAs, and will give you a non-bias opinion.
