How do I select the best term life insurance for my client?
To find the right policy for your clients, make sure you consider their specific situations and needs. Since there is only a minor price difference between term life policy carriers, you should avoid shopping solely on price. You should look at the policy details and ask questions such as:
- What are the living benefits?
- What are the conversion options?
Keep in mind that your client’s needs will change over time. They may keep buying term life insurance policies as their needs evolve. For example, a young couple may initially only need a $500k policy. However, while reviewing their finances seven years later, they realize they need a $1.2 million policy. A broker can help you work through the details with your client’s present and potential future needs.
Should I get term life insurance through a broker?
Given the many moving parts involved with finding the right policy for your client, working with a term life insurance brokerage can give you a competitive advantage. Not only can the brokerage provide sound advice, but they can also help to find the right policy at the right price point for your client.
For example, you have a client who just started a business with a 10-year business plan. They have a 20-year mortgage and want to protect the family and business for the duration of those ten years. A brokerage like EMG can help. Our agents can find a policy that matches their needs at the lowest cost, saving you the time of having to do extensive policy research yourself.
