All right guys, you can take a break. I already know how most of you feel about life insurance. If it’s free you’ll take some but if it gets into your beer or bass boat money, well, a guy has to have his priorities, right? Ladies, in general men have two...

I have spent the last few weeks highly encouraging fence sitting customers to make a move if they truly want the deal of the century on term life insurance. While Prudential’s 4-5% increase in term insurance rates will still keep them competitive, when you...

There are a lot of people that are suspicious of the whole annual review process on your insurance. It is perceived to be a thinly veiled attempt to sell you more insurance, and I have to admit that with some agents that may be true, but not always. It’s worth...

A headline hit me this morning. You know, one of those that sucks you right out or your routine and sends you off chasing rabbits of another color. US News and World Report seems to have rifled through my blog posts and come up with 7 (only 7?) important things you...

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...

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...

There are times when it’s obvious that life insurance agents just really don’t believe that service is important and then there are times when the avoid service or drag their feet on a task as a way avoid talking about what’s really going on with...

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...

With the latest news coming today it is no longer conjecture on my part. The downward trend of the past 15 years in life insurance has hit bottom. ING Reliastar today announced increases in their term insurance rates. I guess the only good news coming from them is...

Within the past few weeks West Coast Life and Protective Life have announced a new term insurance product that, well, may be OK for some purposes. There are definite upsides, but a few downsides from where I stand. The product’s main feature is that it...
