Webinar – Mortgage Protection One-Up

Buying a home is one of the more monumental points in someone’s life, and it results in a lot of time spent thinking about personal finances. While many end consumers are aware of the need for Life insurance, many people are not aware of the existence of personal Disability and Critical Illness policies.

Assurity, a well-known company for Life, Disability and Critical Illness insurance, has designed a bundled product for all-in-one coverage on a single application. This product allows the consumer to purchase 1, 2, or all 3 lines with one application, paid by one bill and complete underwriting once! It greatly simplifies the financial conversation when a prospect comes to you and is seeking Life insurance.

Topics:

• Accelerated underwriting as fast as instant issue
• Protection from Death, Disability, and Critical illness on one policy
• Simplified underwriting through tele-application or e-application
• Sell to the need–not to the budget–and place more cases
• See a case study and learn how simple and affordable this bundled protection can be

The Ten Commandments of Prospecting

By Bryce Sanders

If you had to pick one set of rules with staying power, the Ten Commandments tops the list.  A second set of ten commandments, specifically written for prospecting, has come to light.

1. Thou shalt not imagine business comes to you. You must find it. You need some form of client acquisition strategy. It might be client-prospect dinners, cold calling, social media, networking, seminars, mailings or many other approaches. It must be active, not reactive.  You must be able to drive the process. It must target your market segment, not just anyone.
2. Thou shalt not have a sour attitude when prospecting. It’s a driver of future revenue, not a necessary evil. Prospects can sense the enthusiasm (or lack thereof) in your voice, posture and attitude. Don’t overthink it. Once you get started and get into a rhythm, time passes quickly.
3. Thou shalt prospect every day. Get it done early when you are fresh. Time block. Don’t skip it for four days and say you will spend all of Friday prospecting. You will end up calling in sick instead. Even the biggest producers allocate time to finding new business and new assets.
4. Thou shalt use a script. Thou shalt not wing it and make up every conversation as you go along. You initially need to get the prospect’s attention, get them engaged and lower barriers. Sometimes they can make a comment or toss out a question that throws you off course. Working with a script allows you to easily get back on track.
5. Thou shalt not take rejection personally. You approach someone for business. They say “Get lost.” Your entire relationship can be measured in seconds, not years. They don’t even know you. They either aren’t interested in buying now or don’t have money available. They’ve actually done you a favor and saved you time.

To Close More Sales, Open This

John Pojeta is back with more ideas about how to turn prospects into clients.

By John Pojeta | December 14, 2018 at 01:09 PM

If I were to ask you if you have an open mind when you enter a sales conversation, you would likely nod and think, “of course I do.” Most sales people would, but an open mind is not so simple, especially as the value of a potential sale climbs higher and higher.

A first meeting with a prospect can become a complex juggling act of agendas and concerns as you and your prospect both do your best to determine if continuing the conversation is worthwhile.

As the value of the prospect increases—which means the competition for that prospect’s attention increases in tandem—creating an engaging, thought-provoking meeting becomes more and more critical. The prospect already has an advisor, and she fields pitches from your competitors on a regular basis. To win the business, you have to stand out, and that means having a different kind of conversation.

Here is what most advisors don’t do when they enter a meeting: Listen.
