Part 1: The 5 Most Important Features When Recommending Term Insurance
Let's face it: Your clients wouldn't purchase a car without looking under the hood, right? And they probably wouldn't buy a house without having it inspected first.
So, why would they buy term insurance and spend thousands of dollars over many years without knowing what the contractual features were?

But, if you're just looking at a term insurance spreadsheet and selecting the least expensive carrier for your prospect, you might be overlooking some very important considerations.
For example, you know that every good term insurance policy has an option to convert to permanent insurance. This option is usually guaranteed until the earlier of the end-of-the-term duration or a certain age like, 65, 70 or maybe, 75.
What's guaranteed is the client's ability to convert with no underwriting or exam, even if their health has changed since they originally bought the policy. But what's not guaranteed is the product portfolio that the client can convert to – that is subject to change. You did know that, didn't you?
