I know I go through some weeks sure that all life insurance underwriters are kind of mechanical. They look at the records and the labs and look in their underwriting guide and stamp the appropriate approval on it and then on to the next. No emotions. Just the facts...

Before you dig too deep into this post let me clarify that I am not talking about juveniles with juvenile onset type 1 diabetes. I still don’t know anyone that will cover them and I am still actively lobbying companies to be the one to step out of the dark ages...

I have been dancing around the “Be your own banker” concept for the last month or so after learning more about infinite banking. I finally figured out what I have never liked about whole life insurance. People use it for life insurance. Let me tell you a...

Talk about a health issue that’s been around the block several times and every time something new pops up. Skin cancer is it! We’ve seen great strides in underwriting melanoma with a recent approval at standard plus rates just four months out from...

Once in a while I’m asked what sets me apart from other agents or especially from the giant online agencies. Why would a person choose to do business with me? My daughter interviewed for a job yesterday and was asked why they should pick her out of the four...

In business we don’t always have the luxury of waiting to buy business life insurance when it’s a better value or more convenient. When the bank says now… When the court judge says now… When a large financial agreement is waiting for life...

Remember the “dress for success” thing that started back in the 70’s? I think it was probably a reaction to the way most people my age decided to dress in the 60’s. It never really worked for me. Every time I dressed for success, even if I got...

Without proper business life insurance in force the family of a deceased partner in a business could stand to lose the portion of the business that their loved worked long and hard to create, and to leave as a legacy. A succession plan for a business, whether a...

Although I am new to infinite banking, the use of participating whole life insurance as a financial tool, the fact that it is funded by life insurance means that the agent can make all the difference in whether the concept works to its’ maximum. A huge part of...

I confessed last week that I may have finally found something less than dreadful to say about whole life insurance. This day that no one ever saw coming, came through the back door a few weeks ago when I got a call asking specifically for a quote on a participating...

We have hundreds of thousands of military families that have their future at risk even as our government tries to disengage from one war and figure out an exit strategy from another. The government offers active duty military what is called SGLI, Service...

In what appears to be a screeching halt to the bottoming out of term insurance prices, several companies moved within the past month to unseat perennial term insurance giant Banner Life, a subsidiary of Legal and General America. Banner responded today by lowering...

There seems to be a mindset that life insurance applications probably won’t be approved at the rate that was quoted and applied for. This is a far more prevalent mindset today with so many hundred of thousands of applications being jammed through life insurance...

This is one of those subjects that I write about all the time and pray about every day. It involves an area of my business that I don’t make much money in, but it is an area that I care about as much as, if not ore the rest. I want everyone to have life...
