Our January 2020 sales kit hits a great topic for addressing New Year's resolutions: life insurance as an asset class.
Did your clients resolve to do better at saving for retirement? If so, do they also realize life insurance is an asset that can help? If not, this is the time to show them how cash value life insurance can supplement their retirement as well as provide valuable living benefits.
If you have clients who need coverage, want to save more than their yearly max for a 401(k), and also want to access cash penalty-free before age 59½, this may be a good strategy. Cash value life insurance can give them a way to sock away extra cash once they've maxed out their 401(k) or IRA contributions. After the first 7-10 years, they can take a loan to buy a business or a vacation home. Or they can keep accumulating until early retirement and then begin taking distributions. That strategy works especially well if their need for life insurance decreases as kids leave home and the mortgage is paid off.

How to Use This Month’s Sales Kit
Use the producer guides to refresh your memory about the specific benefits of life insurance as an asset class: extra cash prior to retirement, supplemental retirement funds, and living benefits. Then, look at the included 12-page client discussion guide to get a feel for how a conversation about this advanced financial strategy would go.
Next, prospect within your book of business. Do you have clients with a term policy whose income level suggests they may benefit from converting to a cash value policy? Do you have clients with a whole life policy who could be benefiting from the market-based gains of an IUL policy? Plan on educating them over time about the benefits of life insurance as an asset class. That education could happen during meetings, video calls, or through a drip email campaign - it's up to you.
