The top reason producers give for not selling disability income is their clients do not ask for it, according to a recent LIMRA survey. On the other hand, the Disability Awareness Council reports clients do not ask about IDI because they underestimate the likelihood of a disability.
The disability income sale is a different animal than the life insurance sale. The client does not know or understand the need for the product. The producer must introduce IDI, communicate the need, and understand the products.
Working with an IDI partner like Source Brokerage, Inc. can make all the difference between selling IDI or letting your clients sit on the sideline at great financial risk.
Source Brokerage, Inc. represents all the major IDI carriers. So, we are able to tailor the disability income plan to meet the financial and professional needs of the client.
In competition, you can rely on us for competition assistance. You’ll go into the meeting prepared with the advantages of the proposal you are submitting and how it compares to the competition.
Overcoming objections, especially price objections, is a key to closing the IDI sale.
Source Brokerage’s disability income specialists prepare their producers to overcome objections. In fact, they will join you in a telephone conference to help you sell the need, answer client questions about the product, and overcome objections.
Streamlining the IDI underwriting process.
Underwriting for IDI does not have to be difficult. Source Brokerage can pre-screen clients’ pre-existing medical conditions with the underwriters, structure disability plans to simplify underwriting, oversee the underwriting process to pre-empt problems and advocate for your clients. Your IDI sales percentage will increase with more approvals, and fewer declines.
USE E-APPS
E-apps and Electronic Medical Questionnaires make it easy to complete disability applications for you and the client.
Quick fill and sign features and built-in checks for required fields help you and your clients’ complete applications accurately and quickly. It also makes sure your applications are complete and in good order before they are submitted, speeding up the underwriting process.
We have the connections.
