Most of us who have sold or applied for life insurance understand the whole rate class thing. We all want to get preferred plus, the best rate class, but we aren’t all qualified to be approved that way. So the goal becomes a mission to get life insurance...

I understand that there are quite a few very fine life insurance companies that are domiciled in Canada, but having said that there are some compelling reasons for considering US life insurance companies for personal, and especially for business coverage. Among those...

The obvious answer is of course I would buy the battleship if he had one just because I would be the only person in Silver City, NM to own a battle ship. There’s even a big enough lake a few hours from here to float it in although I’m not sure you could...

For me there was really nothing to come to grips with. I’ve seen the new 60 become 65 and the new 65 become 70 and I’ve seen the government tweak social security so that the longer you don’t take it the more money you are paid (per month), or put...

No, that’s not a typo. When it comes to business life insurance and insurance for people with high net worth, spending up to hundreds of thousands a year on life insurance is really not that uncommon. And anytime you are buying life insurance what you spend is...

I found out yesterday that business life insurance isn’t always for what I would call work related purposes. I got a call from the founder, CEO and chief laborer of a company that films shark fishing. Interesting case because literally what the key man life...

Ok, so I’m kind of on a rip about business life insurance and business executives lately, but what I’m finding is that there seem to be a lot of CEO’s and other executives that are paying way too much for their business life insurance or have been...

When the dot.com industry hit the world we suddenly had CEO’s and Presidents of companies who were young, healthy and like the rest of us at that age, immortal. With immortality comes a seemingly valid reason for a CEO to not buy life insurance, or even...

The CEO or President of a company, other than having more responsibility than most, is just like everyone else in this great country of ours. When it comes to life insurance they are subject to the same unscrupulous or poorly equipped life insurance agents and...

If being approved for life insurance was guaranteed then there would be no need for independent life insurance agents that specialize in impaired risk underwriting and know how to pick up the pieces after an underwriting train wreck and get things back on track. The...

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...

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...

We are a product of our parents and grandparents and I know my Dad was one of those guys who’s goal was to always get it right the first time. Having grown up in that shadow I know that one of my pet peeves is having to do something twice. I like to get it right...

While I believe it would be characterized as mild, there seems to be quite a bit of evidence pointing to the fact that most life insurance companies have gone through a manic period of underwriting mood disorders. For the past several years depression, anxiety and...

The mega agencies online are really starting to make us life insurance agents who take our time and try to do a good job look like we’re part of a clueless industry. I had an Intelliquote former client (declined last week) call today and tell me that he just...
