1. Identify the needs
2. Intensify the need
3. Review the alternatives
4. Close.

Don’t get caught up in one product vs another (Term, WL, IUL, VUL). Learn to describe them all in context. Learn the tax implications of withdrawals, loans and death benefit. Have illustrations showing thinly funded vs max funded.

Doing this right is not easy, that’s why the commissions are so high. Carriers would pay out less if you could shortcut the process.

Buy insurance. You won’t sell what you don’t own.

Agreed on “medical close”. We die and we all become uninsurable along the way. Your spouse and kids think you have it done, so do it.

Life insurance sales are mostly emotional. Just had someone in my office today wanting to buy life insurance before he gets Covid in case life companies would rate him adversely after he gets it. He basically made the argument for buying now rather than waiting and I’m going to use that one going forward.

Easiest way to get anyone to buy is to find their EMOTIONAL want. Is it greed based, worry based, peace of mind, or a business need? Find out the why, and the rest falls into place.

You can try and get technical all that you want. 9 out of 10 times, emotion drives the purchase - that includes shoes, clothes, etc.

If they can emotionally see the benefit to having it, then it doesn’t matter.

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.
