NFP Carriers Present: Hot Sales Ideas Part 2 Moderated By: Stephanie Ahr Manager, Product Marketing NFP
Prudential: Seven Sales Ideas in Seven Minutes Presented By: Rich Brugger VP, Individual Life Insurance, National Accounts
Sales Idea #1: Estate Hedge Plan Do you have wealthy clients who are delaying estate planning due to the uncertainty around taxation? Pru s product-based solution lets your clients buy two term policies now with the chance to convert to SUL Protector at a later date.* *Prudential allows the conversion of two term policies to one survivorship policy at its own discretion. We may discontinue the practice at any time.
Sales Idea #2: ROP Term & Divorce Your clients going through divorce may need to purchase life insurance as part of a divorce decree. 1 PruLife ROP Term may offer the life insurance they need to comply with the court ruling, plus the chance to have their paid premiums returned! 2 1 Prior to purchase, the client should confirm with his/her attorney that ROP Term satisfies the provisions of an order or divorce agreement. 2 Return of Premium Term returns all premiums paid during the level premium period selected if the insured lives to the end of the selected period. Returned premiums do not include any outstanding loans and interest. Also, all premiums may not be returned if the policy is surrendered before the end of the level premium period.
Sales Idea #3: Legacy Planning Life insurance can help your clients leave a lasting legacy to their favorite charitable organization. Life insurance is a costeffective and tax-efficient way to maximize this gift.
Sales Idea #4: What SUL Can Offer Survivorship life insurance is not just for estate planning! SUL Protector can be the perfect solution for parents of young children who want extra protection if something happens to both of them. Plus, SUL Protector can be a key part of planning for loved ones with special needs.
Sales Idea #5: VUL Protector & IRR VUL Protector offers the guaranteed death benefit protection your clients and their loved ones need with the potential for cash value accumulation growth in case of emergency while living. It can also offer an attractive Internal Rate of Return (IRR) on the premiums paid into the policy.
Sales Idea #6: Spousal Lifetime Access Trust In a spousal lifetime access trust arrangement, one spouse established a trust for estate planning purposes. This trust then purchases life insurance on his or her life for the benefit of the other spouse. Using PruLife Index Advantage UL in this trust can provide a powerful combination of a flexible product with a flexible plan.
Sales Idea #7: Living Needs Benefit Pru s Living Needs Benefit SM Rider allows clients to accelerate their policy death benefit in the case of terminal illness or nursing home confinement. * This valuable rider is available at no additional premium on all of Pru s individual life insurance products.

Important Information *The Living Needs Benefit is an accelerated death benefit and is not a health, nursing home, or long-term care insurance benefit and is not designed to eliminate the need for insurance of these types. There is no charge for this rider but, when a claim is paid under this rider, the death benefit is reduced for early payment, and a $150 processing fee ($100 in Florida) is deducted. If more than one policy is used for the claim, each policy will have a processing fee of up to $150 ($100 in Florida). Portions of the Living Needs Benefit payment may be taxable, and receiving an accelerated death benefit may affect your client's eligibility for public assistance programs. The federal income tax treatment of payments made under this rider depends upon whether the insured is the recipient of the benefit and is considered terminally ill or chronically ill. We suggest that your clients seek assistance from a personal tax advisor regarding the implications of receiving Living Needs Benefit payments. This rider is not available in Minnesota to new purchasers over age 65 until the policy has been in force for one year, and the nursing home option is not available in Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New York or the District of Columbia. This rider is not available in Washington state. In Oregon, term policies must include the waiver of premium benefit to be eligible for this rider.

Indexed UL Case Design Policy Review Case Design Policy Review Male, Age 60, Standard n/t Owns an underperforming $ 1M VUL Needs the Insurance; options in later years Doesn t like the volatility of market, but still likes CV. Possible Strategy: Policy Review & Product Review
Policy Review Weighing the Options Options to Weigh Before any action is taken: Are there alternative sub accounts better suited for the client Are there alternative sub accounts with better charges Because the policy has been in place for some years has the client s health changed in a way that may trigger higher premiums? Need to weigh existing and proposed policy features and benefits If there is a Section 1035 exchange client needs to be aware that this will trigger new surrender, contestability and premium charges. Client weighs the options and wants to consider an exchange into a No-Lapse Product. Also looks at IUL. Before a client considers a 1035 exchange all aspects of the exchange should be considered, including but not limited to: the difference in cost of insurance charges, the types of insurance contract and different investment options that may be available, the surrender charges on the new contract versus the old, the different features and benefits of the two contracts, the clients current health status. A policy review must be completed before any transaction is completed by a client.
