Underwriting support

Underwriting support to help you place more cases

We know underwriting is pivotal to your success with your clients. That’s why we have highly experienced underwriters, a competitive underwriting philosophy and unique strategies and programs designed to help you get clients the best risk class possible.

Get to know the benefits of full underwriting

Your clients have different needs and budgets, so your recommendations should be different, too. This might mean shifting your conversations from simplified issue solutions to fully underwritten products that offer more protection for their family. When you recommend full underwriting, you and your clients enjoy the benefits of:

Higher levels of production

Fully underwritten life insurance offers higher coverage limits and more flexible options compared to simplified issue solutions.

Stronger relationships

When you recommend coverage that fully meets their protection needs, you’re more likely to earn clients’ trust and keep them in your book of business longer.

The right price for the client

Our underwriting process ensures the solution is priced right based on the client’s risk class.

A straightforward process

We offer resources to help you understand our underwriting process and what an underwriter looks for, so you and your clients can feel confident at every step.
