Know your product (KYP): a straightforward directive that carries considerable weight. It is mandatory in order to make and complete initial recommendations and during continuity of investment ownership.

Putting the claim top of mind may seem contrarian but doing so makes the reasons for insurance transparent and professional.
When claims information is covered up-front in a sales presentation it answers a question many prospects may find hard to ask. They want to know, “What’s in it (the insurance) for me?”
The answer to their question is the claim benefit. To make sure the claim will be all that you promise, we provide seven pointers on how to ensure a claim is successful. We describe many of the reasons life, A&S, and insurance investment claims are more or less than expected, how to find a missing policy, and pointers for the unhappy claimant.
For those struggling to find dollars for premium purposes, knowing who, when, and how the money is received from a policy can underscore the value of insurance.
- Sales slipping? Try putting the claim payment up-front in the insurance sales process so clients understand the reasons for, and rewards of, insurance;

Risk is synonymous with uncertainty. The risk a person is willing to take is a result of his or her psychology, life experiences, social conventions, intelligence, and age amongst other factors.

It puts you in a position in which information, analysis, and thought is required to arrive at appropriate answers.
If you have client-facing responsibilities for investments or insurance, you will come away from this course with a new appreciation for the role of risk and its repercussions.
- The role of disclosure to risk;

Risk is synonymous with uncertainty. The risk a person is willing to take is a result of his or her psychology, life experiences, social conventions, intelligence, and age amongst other factors. Where does that put you when you must gather information about the risk characteristics of a person and apply them to a product with its own risk profile? It puts you in a position in which information, analysis, and thought is required to arrive at appropriate answers.
If you have client-facing responsibilities for investments or insurance, you will come away from this course with a new appreciation for the role of risk and its repercussions.
- The role of disclosure to risk;
- The three measurements in a risk profile: tolerance, capacity, and need;
- The dilemma of applying risk assessment to decision-making.
