Disability income producers can learn some key strategies from the recent World Cup soccer matches. Here’s a few to keep in mind as you work with your clients:
It’s all about kicks on goal. Not every kick on the goal is successful, but the more times players make kicks on the goal the more likely they are to score. Likewise, the more clients you talk to about protecting their income with individual disability insurance, the higher your disability income sales will be.
Penalty kicks are hard to defend. When a team gets an opportunity to execute a penalty kick, it’s more difficult for the opposing goalie to defend the kick because the odds are stacked against him when he has to go one-on-one against the opponent. When your clients wait too long to purchase disability insurance, it may be difficult for them to get disability insurance (shorter benefit periods, exclusions, or even declines). Disability insurance underwriting is based on your clients’ health. Producers who target clients in their early working years, will find the medical underwriting less difficult, and the odds in their favor for more approvals and less declines and modifications.
Teamwork. No ball hogs or individualists–not even the goal– on the World Cup soccer teams. Teammates work together to score goals!

Strong back-up players. When a World Cup soccer player is injured or needs to rest, teams with a deep bench of back-up players, still excel and win games. Likewise, producers who team with Source Brokerage, Inc, will find that they have a lot of options for their clients. If one individual disability income carrier is not a good fit, there are other reputable carriers that will be a better fit.
