I was going to start this post by saying, “If I was asked what a life insurance underwriter’s job duties are”, and then I decided no one would really ask me that so please allow me to inflict my opinion on you. Life insurance underwriters have to...

I, we, Hinerman Group, just completed our reunification move to Colorado. Every once in a while I make bad decisions (moving to NM where it rains), but I am more known for my brilliance (coming back to CO where it snows). With that move I am promising more of the same...

I can tell you without hesitating that I wouldn’t be in the life insurance business if I was just churning out easy business and that isn’t to say I couldn’t make good money doing it. It is the challenges of working with underwriters to find a way to...

Ah, the good old days. Milk was 50 cents a gallon. Gas was 25 cents a gallon. A new car was under $2000. And life insurance, well, life insurance was so expensive that people had to pay for it by the week. The good old days of life insurance are where we are. In spite...

I get that business people get tired of hearing about all of the kinds of insurance they should be carrying because I am one. I carry more than what’s required by law in errors and omissions insurance just because of the litigious nature of our country. I err on...

I’ve helped orchestrate business life insurance for everything from the simple loan collateral policy to complicated stock repurchase plans, but what all business life insurance has in common is business succession, making sure the business survives in the event...

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...

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...

I ended my last post with a review of the criteria I was given and the following concerning the application I had submitted to a major life insurance company. 1. HIV+ diagnosis was made 3 or more years prior to application. 2. Client has received Anti-retroviral...

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...

While I don’t imagine that life insurance agents are any worse than the general population, my God what is happening to our country when money has become more important than doing the right thing? There is this presumptuous attitude that if money can’t be...

As life insurance companies have turned in the direction of more conservative underwriting of build (height, weight, bmi), the last 10 years has seen them really embrace weight loss surgery for the morbidly obese. That sure wasn’t always the case with gastric...
