Our August 2021 sales kit is all about college funding with cash value life insurance.
This month's kit will help you share stats about how much it costs to send a kid to college these days - and how life insurance can help provide the money to pay for it. The catch? Your clients need to start early so that their cash value policy has time to grow.

How to Use This Month’s Sales Kit
The best way to use this month's kit is to start conversations with parents of young children. Because this is a strategy that matures over time, it's not going to be as beneficial for the parents of a college senior as it will be for the parents of a fifth grader. You can use the stats in the kit's first piece to pique their interest. Because as of 2021, the average cost of college is $35,720 per year. That cost is growing annually at 6.8% - and it's already tripled over the past 20 years. If their child is years away from college, there's still time to act.
One of the selling points of using cash value to pay for college is that "college" doesn't have to be a traditional 4-year university. Because life insurance's cash value has no restrictions on usage, parents can help their kids pay for vocational training, travel, or to start a business if that's what they'd prefer to do. Unlike with other college-specific funding vehicles, parents aren't locking their kids into a particular path before they're ready.
