How One Life Insurance Agent Made Over $250,000!!!!!!! There isn’t an hour that goes by that I don’t receive a phone call or an email that starts out with a statement like that. It’s, of course, some life insurance company’s way of trying to...

I’ve often shared how frustrating it is from my perspective to be helping a client who is having trouble getting life insurance, and have them compound the seriousness of the work by lying to me, or being less than candid. Well hang on to your shorts life...

My name is Ed Hinerman and my wife and I are grandparents. In the whole scheme of things hardly noteworthy except for the fact that we are part of a growing number of grandparents who are raising our grandchild. The last census showed that just shy of 5 million...

And when I answer the phone, and it’s me who answers it, I truly want to know just that. How can I help you? If you found me you probably have already experienced life insurance agents who couldn’t help you or wouldn’t help you. You may have suffered...

In a business that is absolutely brutal to succeed in, just like it is a real piece of work to find the best life insurance company for your situation, it is even harder to find an agent that can not just help you succeed, but treat you with respect along the way....

You can figure I would take off on a subject like this because of some recent interaction with a life insurance underwriter who obviously has a desk somewhere out in left field, but the truth is there is never any shortage of questions that are completely irrelevant...

I was running life insurance quotes for a client who is HIV positive yesterday. We went through all the questions about when he was diagnosed, the RNA and CD4 levels when he was diagnosed and the fact that his viral load has been undetectable since starting on...

There is probably no worse platform to jump off of than answering the first page question on a life insurance application about whether you use tobacco or nicotine products, if you do. While I’ll get to some exceptions to the rule in a minute, with almost every...

I don’t think it’s any secret that there are some things about our country, and please don’t think I don’t love and wouldn’t defend the USA, that just bug me to tears. I had a call from the wife of a disabled veteran today who wanted life...

I am currently working with the CEO, President and Vice president of a company that has turned global in nature. They currently qualify for disability income insurance based on their past and planned business travel, but are concerned that the limitations set to...

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...

Having served on a town council in the past, my opinion is the more the municipality is treated as a business the better it works for everyone involved. From where I sit today I can see instance after instance where the lack of planning for a small expenditure, key...

It’s been amazing when I put the word out that I could business life insurance in tough situations quickly to see how many professionals I’ve been able to help when they are truly in a jam. The scenario usually goes something like one of these, 1. A...

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...
