Sons of Norway - Exciting News we have added more payment dates for AWP!

No I just mentioned that I had Windows 7 on my computer while talking with her.

There are several things SofN needs to do if they want to compete in the FE market.
#1 is to include the membership in the premium. I hate to make a sale and then add "Oh by the way there is a $24 fee that must be paid ".
#2 is to let agents complete the PHI at the time of sale. Last week I had to go back by a home because the company had not been able to make contact with him. The rep asked me to leave the house. I stepped into another room and she asked the guy if I was in the house so I had to go outside and wait. It only lasted 5 minutes so they didn't ask him many questions. Ridiculous.
#3 is to speed up the process. When you submit the app it takes about a week for them to review it and order the PHI. Then it will take a week to get that done. Then another week to make a decision.

Just my thoughts and I have expressed my opinion to them. The RVP told me they don't want to be my primary carrier, but if I have a case where I am in competition mention them. Don't sound like a company who wants to grow.

Only my own assessment here, but I won't contract with them at this time because they don't seem like they want to be a serious player.

And still one of the only life companies of hundreds that does not allow the phone interview to be done at the time of sale. It's bad enough doing the interview at the time of sale but having to wait 24 hours and then someone calls them will NOT WORK. They need to get with the program, AGENTS DO NOT LIKE THIS!

It will take them a week after submission to order the PHI, not 24 hours.

I've gotten a couple of them and haven't opened one yet.

I'm sure your clients think that it's cool to be a Viking.

I wrote 2 SIWL policies today. Lady could only budget $30. I quoted SofN and MOO and let her decide. She had just buried her husband and was struggling financially. Had another man where I qoted both again, but he could buy $5000 more with SofN for the same price. Sold his wife Foresters because of her diabetes. Now if I can just get the PHI done. Neither took any Rx.

Submitted business is increasing at SofN. In August they had 29 applications submitted for an AP of $26.633. I am not sure if things don't improve that they can keep the lights turned on. Or maybe this is all that the few employees that they have can handle.

Well I guess the company finally realized how useless the RVP was so they did away with his position and created a new one. Said he could apply for the new position like everyone else. Since they are not creating a spot for him it tells me that someone higher up was thinking the same thing I was.

Those 2 SIWL cases have finally been uploaded. It took them 7 days to assign a case manager. Maybe by next Friday the PHI will be done. May take a month to issue and they call that simplified.

Why are you writing their simplified issue product versus something like Foresters advantage plus or an easier to issue product?
