Amazing to me the number of people who die with life insurance in force and who spaced out two little details, telling someone that there is insurance and telling them where to find the policy. Because our batting average is less than 100% for turning contacts into in...

I am often asked by clients and potential clients if I sell business liability insurance, car insurance, medicare supplements and the full gamut of insurance products available and my answer is Wyoming raised simple, “Nope, I just sell life insurance”. It...

Not a week goes by that I don’t talk to someone with a history of cancer. They would like to have life insurance, just like anyone, but insurance quotes take a bit more leg work. It’s often a stretch and often means going back to doctors and asking for the...

Just when you thought I was through yelling, Prudential just announced today that their least expensive term insurance product, simply the best deal going in the $1,000,000 and up amounts will have a rate increase effective May 1. You know that stomach crunching...

I just off off the phone with a man who got laid off and then got blown over when he found out the reality of what it would take to make his group life insurance portable. Since I’ve been in the business, even back when I was big into setting up group plans, I...

So the question really comes down to this. Is a family going to realize a better benefit in their family trust through the purchase of a guaranteed life insurance policy, or through the purchase of land in Mississippi using the same amount of money. I have been...

I finally got my wife to look the other way while I jumped out of an airplane for my 54th birthday. She’s always so nice about asking me what I want for my birthday, and for the past 5 years I hadgreat present. She steadfastly refused, not wanting to be a party...

I recently had a person email to tell me they had been declined for life insurance because they had a successful gastric bypass surgery three years ago. They wondered if, since this had come at the hands of a reputable company, they were just saddled with the fact...

It’s just a bad feeling when a life insurance company declines to offer you coverage. They don’t want to accept the mortality risk!! Do they think you’re dying? Is there something your doctor isn’t telling you? Will you ever be able to get life...

I’ve been accused of recommending term life for every need and while I maintain that 95% of all needs for the average person are well served by term, there are valid reasons to consider permanent insurance in your portfolio. Before any jumps on that statement...

My last post was my 911th and like most of us when I see those numbers I flash back to 9/11 and the horror of that day. I got a lot of calls from clients in the following few months asking basically the same question, “does my policy pay if I die due to an act...

I can tell you that this is a bell that I never get tired of ringing simply because it has ended an often insulting journey and given new hope to someone who carries the stigma of having bipolar disorder. I got an email within the last hour of approval on a life...

I’ve been in on more than a few laughs and jokes when explaining to people that most of the new universal life no lapse guarantee policies provide guaranteed coverage to age 121. A few different and one company actually has their guarantee to 131. Well, today...
