Success in the Final Expense Market

Author: Chris Jones

No matter your clients’ health and age they are insurable!

The number one purchasers of Final Expense products are the Baby Boomers and Medicare-aged clients. Fixed death benefit, fixed premium, quick underwriting and guaranteed cash value appeal to these consumers.  Agents find that the ease of underwriting, quoting, and getting a policy issued makes Final Expense a welcome addition to their portfolios.

We have found that the most successful simplified life agents offer at least 3 carriers to ensure that they have a wide variety of product options available. The goal is to have a product that fits all budget and underwriting needs.

Each carrier has unique plan options, varying issue ages and death benefit amounts, and payment structures. The simplified underwriting of these products is a large part of what makes Final Expense products affordable and appropriate for your Medicare-aged clients.  Contact us to get a copy of the carriers’ applications for an underwriting review.

Annual new business sales in 2015 topped the charts with roughly 1.3 billion dollars in new premium, and 2016 is expected to significantly surpass that figure.  There has never been a better time to enter this market! In addition, selling these products can substantially increase your commissions.

Below you will find helpful product information, guides and links to help you determine which final expense product may best suit your client’s needs.

JSA Marketing can assist you with finding the appropriate carriers to offer.  We look forward to helping you get started.
