Is this just an advertisement?

The objection I haven't heard in years is, "I don't need life insurance. I am not going to die. I am going to be raptured." Does no one hear this any longer?

Haha no, but I have to admit when I hear the wilder ones I go, "if you bought that, I'm a good salesman you should buy this," and then 2 minutes later I'm off the phone and on to the next.

Keepin' the ego in check, haha.

I haven't had that one in a while either. Used to get it a few times a year.

Could it be people have stopped believing in the rapture?

Or could it be that it's already happened?

We did elect the antichrist President in 2016.

I get what you're asking, and it can be tricky to tell sometimes if something is just an ad. IfIf the post feels like it's pushing a product or service too hard without offering much in terms of accurate info, then it probably is an ad. But, not every mention of a product is an advertisement—sometimes, people genuinely like something and want to share their experience. If you want to know more about what qualifies as an ad, you can check out what is an advertisements to get a clearer idea. It helps to look at the tone, too—if it sounds more like a pitch than a review or casual mention, then it's likely an ad. It's always a good idea to stay a bit cautious, though!

99% of the world is lies.

85% of statistics are made up.

The people know what they're getting into.

The agents who are lying during their presentation are wrong and swept up in the spirit of evil that permeates our life.

The agents who are straight up and do what's best for the person are providing a legitimate service to someone who needs it.

Finding humor in it is necessary to maintain sanity.

Should it all be different? Yes.

Has it been this way since time was recorded? Yes.

Maybe an alien has it figured out, I'll ask one of my clients, I'm sure they've met one.

You forgot to add the average IQ level of the American population.

I've heard it once in my 4 years in the industry. I wanted to tell the lady, "Just say you don't want it."

I'm well aware that its done to increase response rates. There is never an excuse to act dishonestly.

I understand that and technically you're right. I even point that out in the article I wrote about these mailers.

But here's the problem- if you know the end user will interpret your message in a specific way, it's dishonest to blatantly ignore that and try to hide behind the veil of "its insurance which is regulated by the state and thus I can claim its still honest."

We all know that 99% of end users will see that language and interpret it as: "a government benefit they administer, manage and pay for/subsidize". And since the agents using these deceptive ads know that's how the end user will interpret the messaging, they are being dishonest.

They all know exactly what it is. In my years of doing final expense, I don't think I've ever encountered someone who truly thought it was government assistance.
