Why Life Insurance?
• Increased Revenue -
Your clients are buying it from someone, why not you
• Retention -
Added products strengthens your relationship with your P&C
client
• Every client should have one!
Existing or New, either way the opportunity is there.
• Also creates a legacy of other cross selling opportunities
Within your P&C client base there is a wide range of clients
which may open the door to Life, Group Health, and
Retirement Planning….
