SURE I'VE GOT LIFE INSURANCE...ER..HOW MUCH??

Is this your client...confident beyond reason about their super life cover??
Is the underinsurance problem partly attributable to the common sense of security that insurance in super implies - regardless of the amount??!!

THE REAL IMPACT OF LOSS

It makes sense that if a client can really imagine being shut out of their own home, this makes the commitment stronger...do you talk about these extreme but realistic what-ifs? Got any real stories of this happening?

KNOWING THE COSTS OF ILLNESS & MEDICATION

Many clients don't fully understand the TOTAL REAL cost of having a serious illness and the cost of needing medication to recover or even to live.

What are your experiences of engaging clients on this subject. Do your clients still believe Medicare/PBS/Private health care will cover all medical and associated costs? Tell us by clicking on the comments link below.

Cheers for this week.

I'M GLAD I DID

Transferring risk....
Young Bevan. What a classic story of the effect of risk transference - this is what insurance is all about. The family overall has been saved a grave financial impact. 

Your thoughts? Any similar stories you have?

IT'S AN UPHILL SALE

It's a confronting proposition to put in words to a client that you think they are making an unwise decision. If you have successfully 'turned a client around', please tell us about it.
If you haven't tried this strategy, why not ask your peers for a bit of feedback on how to do this?
