The Hottest
Life Insurance Sales Concept
Lew Nason
|
A few years ago, Douglas Andrews
wrote a book called 'Missed Fortune'
and it's taken the insurance sales industry by storm.
This book explains, in great detail and refines in today's
terms, an extraordinary smart money management concept that
has been used by the mega producers, in our industry for 25
or more years, to sell large amounts of cash value life insurance.
Using this refined concept,
agents and advisors can help average, Middle American and
affluent families to:
Become debt free
Improve their cash flow
Reduce income taxes
Protect the people they love
Fund a college education for their children
Plus, have the retirement of their dreams
And, these families can do it
all without changing their life style.
When done properly, using the 'Missed Fortune'
concept, agents can dramatically enhance a family's
situation almost overnight, without these families taking
extraordinary risks. In fact, as you'll discover while
reading the book, by using this concept you are actually helping
families to significantly reduce the risk in their financial
lives.
How This Refined Smart Money Management Concept Works
In a nutshell, the flexibility of new innovative mortgage
products have expanded over time and now include products
featuring 'Interest Only' payments rather than
the combined principal and interest payments of a traditional
mortgage. These new products can help families to free up
money that they typically would have put toward the reduction
of their mortgage principal. This freed up money can now be
used to quickly reduce debt and create an investment plan
for the future.
Using Home Ownership As A Strategic Investment
In a recent Morgan Stanley article, they state: The decision
to invest in a home is not only a practical decision in terms
of meeting lifestyle and family needs, it can also serve as
a means of accumulating wealth through property appreciation.
Additionally, the favorable tax treatments of mortgage interest
and capital gains have made home ownership a strategic investment
decision. Along with the deductibility of mortgage interest
and the special treatment of capital gains there are unique
benefits associated with leveraging an investment that is
a relatively stable asset. The wealth accumulation benefits
associated with a tax-advantaged, highly leveraged purchase,
such as a home mortgage, can be substantial. Thus, a properly
financed home can enhance an individual's overall investment
strategy.
An ARM Can Save Homeowners A Ton Of Money
According to Chairman Greenspan: Homeowners can save a ton
of money if they use an adjustable rate mortgage instead of
a fixed rate mortgage. For his evidence, he pointed to what
would have happened if you had taken out an ARM 10 years ago.
Back in 1994, fixed rate mortgages were around 8 percent and
adjustable rate mortgages were in the 6 percent range. Since
then, rates have been on a strong downward trend: a 30-year
fixed rate currently carries a 5.5 interest rate, while an
ARM can be 4 percent or lower. So if you took out that adjustable
10 years ago, every time the ARM rate came up for an adjustment
- back then you had your ARM rates reset every 12 months based
on the then current rate - chances were slim that your payment
would increase, since rates were falling, not climbing.
The Investment Plan For The Future
In order to take advantage of the unique benefits of leveraging
a home, you need to guarantee that you are not putting the
client's home at risk. The new and old unique features
of fixed cash value life insurance make them the investment
product of choice. Consider cash value life insurance can
be over-funded up to the MEC guidelines giving clients an
opportunity to receive solid investment returns, while protecting
their family by repaying the mortgage in the event of death.
In addition, the money inside life insurance grows tax deferred
and can be taken out tax-free.
How Hot Is This Concept?
Imagine for a moment, that you could get 25 or more couples
to register for an hour-long educational financial workshop
and then, at the end of the workshop, they would practically
beg to meet with you. That's exactly what I saw happen
when I attended a recent 'Missed Fortune' workshop.
There is no question that when this concept is presented properly,
people absolutely love it and they buy in.
Making The 'Missed Fortune' Concept Work For You
A few months ago, an advisor, who is a member of our private,
agent resource center, told me that he had paid $6,000 to
attend Doug Andrews' course for the 'Missed Fortune'
sales program. (From what I understand the course is now $8,000)
He implemented Mr. Andrews' program and was offering
client seminars based on the 'Missed Fortune'
Concept. However, he wasn't getting the seminar attendance
that he expected or the appointments. He was selling almost
everyone he met with, but he wasn't meeting with enough
people. He needed and wanted help.
We worked closely with the agent and reviewed the systems
he was using. First, he was running ads for the seminar in
the local newspaper and was getting poor results. So, we helped
him improve the invitation process. Then, we worked on getting
more appointments from the seminar. We helped him change the
PowerPoint seminar presentation, which was almost three hours
long. We completely revamped the presentation, changing slides,
removing slides, adding some new slides, to shorten the presentation
to an hour. The results at his next seminar were much better.
By following our advice he dramatically improved the attendance
to his seminars and he was able to set more appointments.
But, he felt the results still could be better. So, he asked
if I would attend the seminar, critique it and give him some
ideas on how he could make it even better.
On the day of his next seminar, we spent over six hours tweaking
the PowerPoint presentation, the strategic questioning and
the appointment setting process. The end result is that he
got a 90% appointment rate at the seminar.
The great news is that in the past few months, even
with the initial low response rates and the experimenting
involved in tweaking the 'Missed Fortune' presentation,
the agent has already made over $80,000 in commissions. And,
that's not counting what he will make from this last
seminar.
Yours in success,
