The process is the same for everyone. We finally come to grips with the need for life insurance and whether we call our local State Farm agent or go on line, the next step is to get a quote. I’ll be honest. When I get a quote for anything, construction, dental...

Allow me to blow right by all of the internet clutter of $12 a month for $500,000 of life insurance. There is no question that those are low rates even though they are enticing unknowing young clients with prices for 10 year term insurance, a completely inappropriate...

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this part of the life insurance process and there are some things that have changed and some that I simply need to redunderfy. Beneficiary designations are often not taken as seriously as they should be and can end up...

I know what drives the reaction, the knee jerk response of applying to every insurance company who will accept an application. It’s a desperation that grows out of a declined life insurance application and the idea that the more people you get your information...

Because of the nature of impaired risk life insurance, many of my clients start out just hoping for an approval (usually after several declines), but they soon find out that approval isn’t my end game. I don’t just want declines turned into approvals. I...

$12 a month! 70% lower life insurance rates! Just pennies a day! Between the internet and tv there can’t possibly be a person left that doesn’t know that somehow, somewhere people might qualify for really cheap insurance. But how do you know when...

For the most part medical records are what they, unreadable scribblings interspersed with occasional labs that are fairly understandable and other kinds of test results that might make sense to a doctor, but are of no use to you or me. There is an area of life...

For months, no years now I have been writing about and telling clients about the best permanent product on the life insurance market and how, if they drug their feet long enough considering the purchase, a day would come when they would look back and say, “Dang!...

Drop the word insurance out of there and reality is that with success in life comes challenges that even the most on the ball folks aren’t ready for. How a person deals with those challenges can affect how they are perceived when they apply for life insurance....

So, what happens if the approved life insurance application isn’t at the same rate you were quoted? This happens a lot when you use agents that don’t shop cases before they choose the right company. Less frequently it happens when new information comes up...

So, let me catch you up. First you went through finding the right agent because anyone who reads this blog knows that the right agent using the right company equals the right outcome. Then your agent got down and personal and used that information to informally shop...

Now we’re rolling. Just because I’ve used two posts getting to the actual life insurance application and life insurance exam is not indicative of how long the process takes. Again, as promised, at the end of this series I will give a breakdown of the...

I’m going to make this life insurance application process seem a bit lengthy and cumbersome in explaining it, but be assured right up front that the process is neither of those if you just take some of these suggestions to heart and work right through it. In...

Applying for life insurance is one of those things in life where you really have some control over what it feels like, how long it takes and how it ends. It is, in that respect, somewhat the polar opposite of applying for a passport. My memory of that was that once...

I’ve been working on a life insurance case that was recently approved. The client let me know that he had applied through another agent before he found my blog and decided to give me a shot. I am always certain that I’ve quoted the best price available so...
