  • Hello ,
  • In  Long-Term Care, the concept of the psychology of the sale is very important.Do we ask ourselves and ask clients this question  to really help people see the importance of coverage: “If or when a long-term care situation happens to you, how do you picture the interactions with your family?  Do you want the financial outcome and protection of your family and assets to be a triumph or a tragedy?”
  • The strongest way  to have a family see the advisor or agent as a hero is to have their assets and income protected, and to have total control of the decisions made  is to get Long Term Care coverage.
  • If or when a long-term care situation happens to one of your clients, how do you picture the interactions with the client and their family? Do you want the interaction to be a triumph or a tragedy? Clients and their families will see the agent as a hero, as someone who did their job right, held the right conversations, and made the right recommendations.  Protecting the client’s assets, income and family, plus giving them total control of the decisions made by themselves and for themselves.  The agent will gain valuable referrals as a true professional and protect their own book of business and income, by making sure their clients are covered and these important conversations occurred.

Og Mandino said, “Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.”

  • That seed in any long-term care event is coverage, and there are alternatives to those traditional Long Term Care stand alone policies of the past. Check out our Up Coming Events section below for training webinars discussing those compelling alternatives. Eschels Financial Group is here to guide you through a possible new concept in your business- allow us to expand and help you grow your brand. Your clients will thank you.

Plan now to attend
As a financial, investment, retirement, or accounting professional, long-term care planning can be challenging–specifically because it may not be the primary focus of your practice. In fact, you may even avoid it. Yet at the same time, learning about long-term care could be one of the most crucial ways to serve your clients.  A potential exposure so great, it could render all other strategies meaningless.
Join us for a free webinar and learn options available for your clients with the Care Solutions–a portfolio of asset-based LTC products that can provide tax advantages and benefits even if care is never needed.
During this webinar you will learn:

  • How certain annuities can benefit from the Pension Protection Act and provide income tax free withdrawals for LTC
  • About products that issue all the way up to age 85
  • How to use qualified money to gain long-term care benefits
  • How to speak with your clients about a negative topic (LTC) in a positive way

This learning opportunity will give you the ‘nuts and bolts’ of our products and arm you with the knowledge you need to succeed. At the same time, you will gain a level of comfort and learn how to broach this at times difficult topic with your clients.

How can Fixed Indexed Annuities help clients retire on schedule?

  • Fixed annuities, with their guaranteed interest rates and guaranteed return of principal (less any withdrawals of interest or principal) can help preserve client’s assets, potentially softening the impact of a choppy stock market on their accounts.    

  • A conservative approach….. provides the client with safety of principal, tax- advantages, liquidity, and legacy planning.  

The Next Big Thing in Annuities: If you’re not talking with your clients about QLACs, expect that your competition is. Learn how big this opportunity really is!

  • It is imperative to explore all financial options for the clients- why let a client lapse or surrender a policy when determining there is an alternative. Life Settlements-  Life Insurance , like every other asset, has a Market Value.   Before your client considers letting a policy go, call us to discuss the specifics. And interestingly, all policy types are considered now for Life Settlements- even convertible term insurance.  The reality is: you will set yourself apart from other advisors and agents by educating clients on Life Settlements and the options for the unwanted/unneeded  life insurance. Clients remember you told them about an idea that others did not- and isn’t that what we want as agents and financial advisors? To be distinguished as unique, with different and compelling ideas for clients provides them with more than the average agent.

 

  • Are you aware within Fixed Indexed Annuities and Indexed Life Insurance there are 100% participation in the various indices up to the caps? Are you aware there are uncapped (yes uncapped) index strategies allowing the client the full index performance less a spread?  Why is any of this important? Because clients have told this industry after 2008 that they no longer can endure the wild rides with their money. They have firmly said they are aware they need some exposure to the non-guaranteed  markets, but they now also know they must be more diligent with safety, as their individual lives are uncertain and when retirement happens often is not by choice but more by circumstance.
