‘Tis the season to protect families with life insurance

The busy holidays may not seem like the most convenient time to apply for life insurance. However, the time spent with family and friends is a perfect reminder of the importance of protecting their futures with life insurance.

Here are three reasons the holiday season may be the perfect time for your prospective client to begin the life insurance application process.

They can get their life insurance exam while shopping

With approximately 150 exam centers inside Safeway and Walmart, consumers now have more choices than before and fewer reasons not to complete the life insurance application process while out and about this holiday season. Our recent expansion of locations and appointment times, in addition to online scheduling tools and less stringent fasting restrictions before exams, gives applicants more choices than ever before. You can find an exam center near you and your applicants by using our location finder at ExamOne.com/Locations.

They can develop a baseline for New Year’s health resolutions

With the New Year right around the corner, it’s a good time to discuss financial and “health” goals with your clients. When applying for life insurance, most policies provide applicants with laboratory results from their life insurance exam. This follow up health report is a tangible aspect of getting life insurance and provides your clients with invaluable information on current health status. It’s a great foundation for those New Year’s Resolutions.
