Senior Life + Technology . . .

I seriously gave some thought to a SL contract.. Decided against it because the commissions are not very good if you do not sell their legacy Plan (or whatever they call it) with the insurance plan.

Rouse, the best way is to bundle Legacy with the policy, sorta like Spectrum bundling internet, TV, and phone. This way Ms. Jones doesn't get just a policy, she gets a policy PLUS her casket, vault, and monument are locked in at $3500 for the rest of her life.

She also gets to pick out the casket she likes, I believe there are 241 caskets to choose from. None of the kids are going to be arguing about which casket to get momma as she's already picked it out. Ms. Jones is more bonded with her policy. So when someone comes along and tries to replace her policy, Ms. Jones will usually say "no thanks, I've already picked my stuff out, I'm not going to change anything".

Some people who already have plenty of insurance will buy a small policy just so they can get their casket, vault, and monument locked in at $3500. This of course means your closing % increases. Why a SL agent would not bundle Legacy with the policy is beyond me.

Rouse answer me this: Why would you not want to bundle the Legacy and the policy together? See bold above.
 
I don't know. I just got off the phone with a pretty big SL agency that I've been talking to for a few weeks. This individual is at an 80% and having to start their agents at 50/60%. Told me they just had to apologize to one of their agents for starting them so low.

Just didn't know any better.

I can sell that dream of building an agency and making overrides as well. No reason someone has to start at 40% lower comp to do it.

Are you sure this was Sr Life Insurance co., not Sr Life Services out of Vero Beach, Fl.? I've never heard anyone starting out at 50%/60% unless they were getting fresh exclusive leads for free.

If it is true why spend 2 weeks on the phone chatting with someone who can only offer you 50%/60%? (bold above) That doesn't make any sense. You and anyone else should call me. I'll take care of you.

Greg: Just not sold on the plan..But to each his own.. I went back and looked at the commission schedule you sent me. The 6 month charge-back on all pans and the conditions for receiving renewals and maintaining the contract had a lot to do with my decision also. I do see how the package as presented could be attractive to the client.

Adds value to the policy and the relationship . . .
 
How long is the Senior Life telephone application for telesales?

The presentation is usually 30-45 min. If Ms. Jones picks a plan then you do a recording following a script that takes about 4-5 min. After the recording is finished you cut it off and you do a "warm down", review her policy, chat for a few min about anything. When you hang up you click "submit" on your ipad and everything is sent to the home office.

When asking for referrals say "Ms. Betty, who else in your family, or friend, or neighbor might like to get this same information on how they can get their casket, vault, and monument locked in for $3500 for the rest of their life? This will get you more referrals than asking "who do you know that might need some insurance"?
