No-Load Insurance Companies
There are a number of insurance companies that have developed a
No-load product, or products, as an entry to the fee planning professional
market.
Some of these companies keep their products on the "shelf", only
to be used in high profile cases, or in large case competitive situations.
Consequently, large corporations and very high profile, high net
worth clients have had exposure to the product, and it has become
the product of choice. Unfortunately, these companies do not
give this excellent product exposure to the general public, or to
their sales force.
Other companies have tried to "test" the market by taking their
traditional commissioned product and stripping out the agents commission.
However, as the high loads and general agent overrides are left
in, the product is only a "wannabe" and does not bring to the consumer
the advantages of a true no-load policy.
And there are those companies that put a product out to see what
will happen, but are not committed to the fee planning professional;
such as not providing software to allow plan design, being under
or non-staffed, not having resource personnel, farming out their
underwriting, or not responsive to follow-up/questions/communications.
Companies that we have listed are active in the fee planning professional's
universe.
The companies in bold type work with the Network in various
ways, being responsive to, and assisting the fee planner to develop
awareness of client benefits through product design, concepts and
strategies.
