taxes, inheritance, etc.?• leaving debts behind?• diminished lifestyle for their immediate family?• jeopardizing goals such as kids’ education, retirement for

surviving spouse, etc.?

A majority of people will answer “yes” to one or more of the questions above.

But covering financial needs with life insurance is not the only thing consumers are looking for…

Simplicity

Page 4: THE COMBO APPROACH A Simple Way to Insure the Whole Family.

• Guarantees, flexibility and additional options are mostly product-related. Participating whole life encompasses these features.

• Simplicity is as much about the process than it is the product.• The easier it is for clients to understand why they have the

insurance plan that was recommended to them, the better the chance they’ll stick with it.

Simplicity1. Identify insurance needs.2. Categorize each need as permanent or temporary.3. Use a corresponding insurance coverage (permanent or term)

for each need or group of needs.4. If possible, group the various coverages in one policy.

Page 7: THE COMBO APPROACH A Simple Way to Insure the Whole Family.

Flexibility Dividends

• Increase the insurance amount – PUA; this helps reduce risk of inflation on final expenses or increase the value of inheritance.

• More insurance for a lower premium with the Enhanced dividend option.

• Use them for liquid savings or to reduce your premiums, or cash them.

• Possibility to change dividend options as financial needs change.

Term life is renewable and convertible• If temporary insurance need lasts longer than expected (i.e. it takes

longer to repay debts) or a new permanent insurance need arises, renewal and conversion options can help to address the issue.

Page 8: THE COMBO APPROACH A Simple Way to Insure the Whole Family.

Additional Options DI on participating or term life insurance to help

cover loan payments or replace part of income in case of disability.

Term life insurance for the kids – guarantees their future insurability.
