LIFE INSURANCE CERTIFICATE SALES PROGRAM
While we realize that you may have another primary life insurance company, Guardian is now offering simplified issue life insurance certificates with almost every new disability policy issued by our office. This simplifies the underwriting process for your clients while you do their financial planning. The certificate can be presented when you deliver the disability policy, and if the client would like to redeem it for additional life insurance, you will be paid an additional first year commission on this new sale. For complete details please give us a call, and we will send you the necessary brochures.
WHO WILL RECEIVE AN OFFER?
Pre-qualified Certificate offers to purchase life insurance will be made to recently issued Berkshire individual disability income policy owners.1
The eligibility criteria for pre-qualified offers include:
- The insured must be between ages 20-50, inclusive.
- The insured must be classified Preferred Nontobacco or Standard Nontobacco on his or her DI policy.
- The individual DI policy must have been underwritten (not issued as a result of a conversion, Future Increase Option, Guaranteed Issue Program, or Group Disability Replacement Rider).
The new life insurance policy applied for may be any single life policy or variable life policy issued by Guardian or The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc.2 The offer excludes EstateGuard (survivorship), DuoGuard Rider, and pension trust policies.
