Most life policies should be called “death” insurance. With the policy we offer through Transamerica, we can help protect a family through life’s unpredictable changes – we call it Life Insurance for Life!

Death Insurance or Life Insurance for Life?

Elevator Speech…

• We offer life insurance you don’t have to die to use!

• If you had a crystal ball and could see out 2 months, 2 years or 20 years…do you think you would have a serious illness (like -- cancer, heart attack, stroke--first or die?

• Do you have the old kind of insurance or the new kind?

• We help protect families through life’s unpredictable changes – we call it Life Insurance for Life!

LIMRA sees opportunity among small businesses

LifeHealthPro, June 12, 2013 

53 percent of these business don't offer benefits and that two-thirds of them have not been approached by a broker or agent within the last 12 months.

More than 4 in 10 of these businesses have considered offering benefits AND

Nearly half agreed to meet with a producer once they were contacted.

98 percent of employers in the U.S. have fewer than 100 employees,

35 percent of the U.S. workforce representing about 40 million workers

Page 19: PRODUCER USE ONLY. NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. Terrie Rethamel V.P. Specialized Distribution.

Objections…“Too Expensive…”

• For 1 less Starbucks a month isn’t worth lifestyle stability?

• When shopping for tires or brakes do you go with the cheapest to protect yourself

• & loved ones?

Page 20: PRODUCER USE ONLY. NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. Terrie Rethamel V.P. Specialized Distribution.

Why do you have… Auto-insurance? Home Insurance? Health Insurance?

For the what if…Why not have Life Insurance that can protect your families financial stability whether you live or die?

“I’ll Never Use this Product…”

Page 21: PRODUCER USE ONLY. NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. Terrie Rethamel V.P. Specialized Distribution.

Thinking Differently about the Importance of You…

“Too Expensive…”

If you had a money making machine in your garage…..…would you insure it?

Page 22: PRODUCER USE ONLY. NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. Terrie Rethamel V.P. Specialized Distribution.

Tools to Use

Income Protection Option (IPO)

Page 23: PRODUCER USE ONLY. NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. Terrie Rethamel V.P. Specialized Distribution.

What would…

• your family do without your income?• your family do with a sudden influx of money

• IPO – no cost option– Reduce stress – provides a pre-planned income to

make lives more manageable– Allows you to choose how/whom to leave a legacy

In most states, in the event of suicide during the first two policy years, death benefits are limited only to the return of premiums paid.

Depending on the state of issue your policy may be an individual Policy or a certificate issued under a group Policy. The Policy is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of each state or jurisdiction in which it is available for distribution. All state specific Policy features will be described in your policy.
