Lincoln, John Hancock, Pac Life, Penn Mutual and Mass Mutual have great support in advanced sales. Work with some (a mentor) on your first few.

Remember, doctor get trained on their surgeries. The harder the surgery, the longer they talk to learn their craft. Doesn’t have to be that way with insurance, but it definitely helps to have a senior producer with you.

Come on, you gotta have better insight than, “just google it”. Google can be helpful but it’s also full of shitty info.

These clients have lower assets to manage because they typically are plowing money back into their business or real estate. They have high net worths, but not much liquid. There has to be opportunities in there somewhere, I’m just not well versed in the advanced insurance side of things.

If you doing premium financing that can be very tricky. You need a client making significant income

Talk to them about their succession plan and the importance of having assets outside of the business. Help them plan for retirement using various investment and permanent cash value insurance for diversification and liquidity purposes. Are they maxing out their qualified plan or is it top heavy? They may not qualify for the ROTH based upon their income but can fund a life contract on an unlimited basis.

Google business life insurance. Plenty of resources online. Also search topics that I and last replied mentioned

My interview got over on June 29th right after the interview the recruiter called me and told I’m selected and they will be sending the offer letter. He mentioned there will be a delay in releasing the offer letter since merging is happening right now. few days back I sent a mail to HR.. but no reply. and after that I received a mail stating they are no longer considering me for this position. Does this happen to anyone else ?
