How One Life Insurance Agent Made Over $250,000!!!!!!! There isn’t an hour that goes by that I don’t receive a phone call or an email that starts out with a statement like that. It’s, of course, some life insurance company’s way of trying to...

In a business that is absolutely brutal to succeed in, just like it is a real piece of work to find the best life insurance company for your situation, it is even harder to find an agent that can not just help you succeed, but treat you with respect along the way....

One of those set in stone rules that we have lived with for years in life insurance underwriting just got a new look and possibly a question that may not make the answer as black and white as most underwriters would like it to be. I am currently shopping a case where...

I’ve said often enough to be considered redundant beyond reproach that a decline for life insurance is a good place to start. The thing about a decline is it flushes out all of the details that might have simply not been understood or forgotten by the client and...

Some nut case has been all over the internet search engines claiming a phenomenal life insurance underwriting breakthrough that will allow a large number of HIV positive people to get traditional life insurance up to $1 million. Since HIV became an issue in the...

Over all the years I’ve been in life insurance I’ve talked with dozens of people who were HIV+ and needed life insurance and the only thing I could offer them was guaranteed issue life insurance. Guaranteed issue is exactly what it says. If you’re...
