Develop Your Policy Review Cases with North American

Not only does life change, but life insurance products change over time. That’s why it’s important for you to have a regular policy review practice in place. Trust, credibility and long-term relationships are just the beginning to the benefits of scheduling reviews. Explore the topics below to help you build your policy review practice.

Client Profile:
Here are a few items that may trigger the need to review a life insurance policy:

  • New child or grandchild
  • New job
  • Inheritance
  • Major investment gain/loss
  • Health concerns
  • Change in marital status
  • Change in estate plan
  • Sales or purchase of a home
  • Start/purchase a business
  • Sold or acquired assets
  • Death of family member
  • New investments
  • Retirement
  • Gain/loss of business partner

Helpful Tips:
Here are a few questions to answer when reviewing a policy.

  • Can the client retain the same coverage but at a lower cost?
  • Is there a policy that offers more coverage for the same premium?
  • Can improved death benefit guarantees be found?
  • Is the death benefit enough, too much or just right?

Sample Case: Builder IUL

Take a look at Builder IUL to help your clients build long-term cash value growth. This indexed universal life insurance product offers a guaranteed interest bonus on the index account along with several index selections to help boost long-term cash value accumulation. In the sample illustration, we show a male, age 50, preferred non-tobacco who has an existing policy with a cash value of $25,110. His needs have changed and he not only wants the $500,000 of death benefit protection, but he also wants to accumulate cash value. He wants to pay premium of $16,500 for 7 years and then use the potential cash value accumulation to help supplement retirement income at age 70 for 20 years using variable interest rate loans (assuming a loan rate of 5.9%1). View the illustration and find out his potential supplemental income stream.
