America’s finances are in turmoil. The personal economies of many individual Americans’ and their families are on the precipice of a disastrous failure. Few families have a personal plan to help them meet these financial challenges, and they need your help! Opportunities abound for insurance agents, financial advisors and financial planners who understand their problems and hold the solutions in their minds and hearts. You can draw these Americans back from the brink of financial failure!

But, how are you going to attract these people to you?

Don’t Believe All Of The Doom and Gloom!

Twenty-six years ago, when I first got started in this business, the United States was in the midst of a severe economic recession, much worse than it currently is today. In December of 1982, the U.S. unemployment rate had reached 10.8%, higher than at any time in the post-war era. Job cutbacks were particularly severe in housing, steel and automobiles. Twelve million people were unemployed, an increase of 4.2 million people, since July 1981.

By mid-1982, the number of bank failures was rising steadily. Bank failures reached a post-depression high of 42 as the recession and high interest rates took their toll. In 1983, another 49 banks failed, easily beating the Great Depression record of 43 failures set in 1940. And, the FDIC listed another 540 banks as “problem banks” on the verge of failure. In 1984, the Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company, the nation’s seventh-largest bank (with $45 billion in assets), failed.

Between 1980 and 1983, 118 S&Ls with $43 billion in assets failed. The FSLIC, the federal agency which insured the deposits of S&Ls, spent $3.5 billion to make depositors whole again. The FSLIC pushed mergers as a way to avoid insolvency. From 1980 to 1982, there were 493 voluntary mergers and 259 forced mergers of savings and loans overseen by the agency. Despite these failures and mergers, there were still 415 S&Ls at the end of 1982 that were insolvent.

During the 1982 recession, unemployment reached twelve million, the highest rate since the Depression; 17,000 businesses failed, the second highest number since 1933; farmers lost their land; and many sick, elderly, and poor became homeless.

Economic recessions in the U.S., and throughout the world, aren’t something new. They are a fact of life. We’ve experienced many recessions through the years in the U.S., the last being in 1990. As a country we’ve survived each time, and we’ll survive this one. The question isn’t whether you’ll survive; it’s whether or not you’ll prosper in your business?

Revealed… The Secret To Your Prosperity In Today’s Economy!

Fortunately for me, in 1982, in spite of being in the worst recession since the ‘Great Depression’ of 1929, I was able to lead my office in sales, even though I was brand new to the insurance business. What I learned back then that made me successful in personal sales, and has kept me prosperous throughout the years, is that most people (average Middle American families) are struggling financially, and they need and want our help. And, when times are tough financially, these people need and want our help more than ever. I learned that to succeed in this business, during the good and bad times, it’s not about products, investment returns or a revolutionary sales idea. It’s about helping average people to become more secure financially, in their lives.

Understanding What’s Missing In The New Sales Systems!

Many of the ‘supposed’ revolutionary new ideas behind LEAP, Missed Fortune, Infinite Banking, Circle of Wealth, Equity Management and College Funding programs are not revolutionary or even new. They are actually the proven, sound financial principles that the best producers have been using for decades to help people to properly position and use their money, with safety and guarantees, to achieve financial security.

Unfortunately, agents and marketing organizations have bastardized many of these new sales systems and are focusing primarily on selling products and investment returns! These sales systems have been promoted, seen and used by many agents as a way to make quick, large sales. Many times the sale is made, whether it’s in the best interest of the prospect or not! The majority of the people using these systems have lost their focus on how to actually help people to identify, understand and solve their financial problems.

The extremely unfortunate part, for agents, is that some of these systems were developed when the economy was good; so there is very little, if any, sound marketing practices in them. These systems have very little, if any, real marketing to help you get your message out to people about how you can help them to solve their financial problems. They may be great sales ideas or systems, but they have no real marketing to help you attract enough of the right people to you, during the tough economic times.

Consider, when times are good financially, like in the 1990’s when the stock market was soaring and unemployment was low, there will be some people who are ready, willing and able to take chances with their money. These are the people who have the ‘get rich quick’ and/or ‘live for today’ mentality! So, it is easy to attract and set appointments with them, if you have something new and exciting to show them.

However, during the tough economic times, much of the marketing in these systems just stops working, because there are very few people who are ready, willing and able to take chances.

You can survive and prosper during this worsening recession! But, only if you learn how to consistently attract the right people to you! It’s about you learning how to actually help people to identify, understand and solve their financial problems, instead of just trying to make a quick, large sale with your hot, new, revolutionary products or ideas.Claim your free Report “How to Attract & Sell Your Perfect Prospects” at http://www.FastInsuranceSales.com Where you’ll learn how to make 6-figures a year in insurance.

Are you struggling in this worsening economy? Was 2008 a difficult and disappointing year for you? Are you working harder, spending more money on marketing and leads and still not seeing any substantial improvements? Are you making more Cold Calls? Are you constantly searching for a better Source of Leads? Are you looking to get into a Different and Better Market? Or, maybe you are totally frustrated and thinking of getting out of insurance or financial services business altogether.

If you are not getting the results you want, then you have no other choice but to make some changes. If you keep doing the things you’ve always done, won’t you keep getting the results you’ve always gotten?

The question is… What are the best changes for you to make?

Success in this or any business isn’t a matter of luck. And, just hoping that if you find a better source of leads, or get into a different market, or offer a different product, that your sales will automatically change for the better doesn’t make much sense. You have to make things change! And, that means you have to change!

One of the most beneficial and simple changes you can make is to… Learn how to attract more of the ‘Perfect’ prospects to you. And, that begins with deciding who the perfect prospects are for your current products and services. Who do you have the best chance of selling?

As an example: While almost everyone may need life insurance, aren’t there some people who are better prospects than others? In this struggling economy… Who can benefit the most by owning life insurance? Which people have the most to lose? What problems are people currently facing that you can solve for them? How can you use life insurance to solve those problems for those people? Where can you ‘find the money’ for people to afford to buy life insurance they need and want? When should you be contacting those people? Why should those people call you, instead of your competition?

Whether you are selling insurance, annuities, investments or your services, the more you clearly define who you have the best chance of selling and how to attract those people to you, the easier it’s going to be for you to set appointments and close sales in this struggling economy.

Success in sales isn’t simply a matter of luck!

A worrying fact is that a quarter of children are classed as overweight before they are old enough to start school. That figure is one in three by the time they enter secondary school at the age of 11.

Obesity can be related to a range of health problems including diabetes, heart and liver disease and even cancer. In less than a decade since 1999 the number of doctors’ prescriptions for obesity drugs rose from 127,000 to more than a million.

And now the insurance companies are going to make the fatties pay.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the tool used to calculate whether a person is of ‘normal’ proportions, or ‘overweight’, or ‘obese’, which is anyone with a BMI of over 30. This is the figure at which many insurance companies start charging up to 50 per cent higher premiums. In the past a BMI nearer 40 was used, but as it became clear how serious Britain’s obesity problem was, the figure was lowered to 30. However, they might decide to drop lower still, heading closer to the 25 mark where the ‘overweight’ category starts.

If you are obese and also have other high-risk factors such as being a smoker or suffering from certain medical conditions, the increase in the cost of your premiums could soar to a staggering 400 per cent!

An example for 150,000 pounds of life cover for a 55-year old man in good health, who is a non-smoker of normal weight, is about 1,000 pounds a year. Let him become obese and his 25-year policy could cost him 500 pounds more.

Not all insurance companies use the same BMI rate. The second largest insurer, Norwich Union, uses 35 as the figure at which to raise the premium costs, and the third largest, Friends Provident, goes from 33.

Legal & General, Britain’s leading insurer, uses a BMI of 30, and said that 13 per cent of new customers would have to pay the higher premiums.

L&G’s director of underwriting and claims, Russ Whitworth said, “Most people understand that poor diet and lack of exercise can lead to health problems but they might not realise that being significantly overweight would also make their life insurance more expensive.

“Although it is not an exact science, we find that BMI is the best indicator of the risk of being overweight, so it pays to stay in shape.”

The Association of British Insurers backs its members’ decision to charge higher premiums for the obese, claiming that it is no different from charging more for a smoker or somebody with a previous medical condition

Problems could arise for super-fit sportsmen who would have to convince their insurers that their high BMI score is due to building up solid muscle rather than being obese.
It’s no point being economical with the truth when an application form asks for your height and weight. In the event of a claim, the company won’t pay out if it catches you out in a lie.
The Financial Ombudsman Service says it constantly throws out cases where a claim has been rejected for this reason.

Recently a man of 37 claimed on his application to be six foot tall and to weigh 16 stone. When he died of a blood clot five months later it turned out he was only 5 foot nine inches tall and five stone heavier. Needless to say there was no pay out. His premiums would have increased by 275 per cent if his true details had been known, but his claim would have been valid.

The Financial Ombudsman ruled that there was such a difference between what he put on the form and what he actually measured that it couldn’t have been a mistake.

Matt Morris, a policy adviser at specialist financial advisers Life Search, explained, “ In an ideal world, insurers want the healthier clients. There is an element of cherry picking. They don’t want the burden of the heavier client.”

If you are an entrepreneur, a lawyer who has your own practice or are otherwise self-employed, one of the many decisions you must face is selecting what to do about insurance coverage and other perks that your personnel department in a different situation might select for you.

The downside is you are . You also get to have the say as to your coverage.

An optimal insurance and benefits package will protect you in the event you are unable to earn a living because of a medical condition, indemnify your loved ones in the event of an early death. It will also include savings for retirement and medical insurance.

Disability Income Insurance

Income replacement insurance is for many people the least though of lines of insurance. Most people have medical coverage because we fear that we might get ill or have an accident and be forced to pay huge healthcare expenses. For some reason we think less about the fact that we will be unable to make a living. Perhaps we simply prefer not to think about this possibility. But we should. Uninsured disabilities are leading factors in foreclosures. This is important coverage.

Death Protection

Universal life or 1-year term life? The type you buy won’t make any difference to your widow or widower if a claim is made. Only the dollar amount will matter. If you have children or have other people depending on you, you should have a policy.

Long Term Investment

Retirement isn’t a guarantee, but if we are able to avoid dying too early we want to have some income to enjoy life after work. If you fail to plan in this area, there is a good probability that you will wind up with less than you will need.

Long Term Care Coverage

Custodial care and its costs are not often thought of. However, the cost of a custodial care can eat up your savings very quickly. Neither A standard healthcare insurance nor Medicare will pay for custodial care.

Healthcare Coverage

Having the right health care insurance is crucial with the cost of medicine escalating every year. The expense of prescriptions, the price of visiting a physician, the cost of hospital stay and the price of a visit in the emergency room has gone up each and every year. Medicine has gone up much faster than inflation in general and certainly more than the average paycheck in the US. Be sure you have solid protection in this area. Quality coverage does not necessarily mean that you must have first dollar plan. But, it should certainly mean that you have excellent coverage for the major expenses. Medium to high deductible insurance policies very frequently are a good value and provide you coverage for the crucial things.

Dental Insurance

Oral care coverage is important. However, dental care coverage at a rate that is affordable might not be obtainable to you unless you are part of a group. Be aware of the rates, the benefits and the waiting periods before applying for a plan. You might discover that you will make out better when you pay your dentist out of your pocket and keep the cash you would have otherwise spent on insurance.Alston J.

Do you consider yourself a law-abiding citizen and a responsible parent? If so then presumably you would never leave your children unsupervised near a swimming pool nor allow your small child to ride his bicycle in peak-hour traffic on a busy highway, nor play with matches or leave firearms within reach of children. And you would never allow a child to travel in a car without wearing a safety belt or properly secured in a car safety seat.

If you can still honestly say that as far as the law or responsibility in considering the safety of your children, you are above reproach, then you are in the minority if you are a South African motorist. According to a recent survey carried out by the AA’s Public Affairs department only 50% of drivers use their safety belts. An even more disturbing finding was that only 20% of passengers buckle up when travelling in a vehicle.

Considering that passenger deaths in children is the fourth leading cause of unnatural deaths in the country, then it stands to reason that according to South African law an adult is guilty of a criminal offence if they allow a child younger than 14 years to travel in a motor vehicle unrestrained. The driver of the vehicle will be arrested and charged with homicide if a child that was unrestrained at the time of an accident, dies as a result of the accident. This is frightening, but not as hair-raising as the fact that there is a 75% chance that a child will die if thrown out of the car when an accident occurs which, according to Professor Sebastian von As of the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, is the case.

On average the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in Cape Town treats 20 children a month for injuries sustained in car accidents. What is shocking is that on average 80% of these children are unrestrained at the time of the accident. Unfortunately this is not surprising considering that according to a study conducted by the AA, only 16% of children on South African roads are properly restrained while travelling as passengers in cars, despite the fact that 338 children under the age of five died in car accidents last year. It is extremely sad to think that the majority of these injuries and deaths could have been prevented if the drivers of the vehicles had ensured that the children were properly restrained while travelling.

On impact an unrestrained 10kg toddler becomes a 300kg human projectile, rocketing forward, either into the dashboard, into the back of the driver’s seat, or worse yet straight through the windscreen. If children or babies are held on the laps of adults and an accident occurs the forces in a crash often make it impossible to hold onto a child and result in the child being ejected from the vehicle or crushed by the adult holding it.
The rear seat is often mistakenly seen as a safe place to be in a crash, but research and crash tests show that the opposite is true. Unrestrained rear seat passengers are three times more likely to suffer death or serious injury as belted passengers and if the car is involved in a collision unrestrained passengers can hit other occupants with the force of a small elephant causing massive injuries.

Hopefully, if you as a driver of a motor vehicle have in the past been guilty of driving without ensuring that all passengers are safely buckled up, this article will motivate you to obey the law and look after the safety of both yourself and your passengers in future.

Remember that the correct car insurance can replace your car – nothing can replace a life, but responsible driving habits and the use of safety belts can prevent the loss of a life.The author specializes in car insurance. To read more on vehicle insurance, visit getinsurance.co.za

If you are going to store your belongings in a self-storage unit, you are probably wondering whether or not they are insured. After all, the unit could catch on fire, be broken into, or be otherwise damaged, leaving your valuable property at risk. The good news is that most self-storage companies offer insurance, but before you purchase it, make sure you really need it.

Insurance Is Not Automatic

The first thing to understand about self storage insurance policies is the fact that they are not automatically applied to your belongings. Some companies have policies already in place, and if they do, the cost of your rental will cover the insurance premium. However, this is rare. Most companies are competing to get your business by having the lowest possible rate, and as such they do not build insurance into the cost. This will only cause them to lose business to companies advertising lower rates. However, you can usually get insurance if you want it, but you will have to pay for it.

Of course, some items are covered under the insurance policy the building’s owner has. For instance, fire is typically covered under the owner’s insurance policy. Theft and weather damage, such as the damage that may occur if there is a tornado or windstorm, is not necessarily part of this coverage.

You May Not Need It

If you own your own home and have a homeowner’s insurance policy, you may not need insurance on your items in storage. Before you sign up for the insurance policy offered by the storage company, check with your current insurance provider. Your insurance policy likely covers your possessions, and this may include possessions store off of your property. Most insurance policies cover all of the property of the homeowner no matter where it is in the world. Of course, your deductible and any exclusions that apply to the homeowner’s policy also apply to the items you are storing, so if you feel that your belongings will not be adequately insured, be sure to purchase the policy.

Of course, if you are using the storage unit to store a vehicle, this will not be covered under your homeowner’s policy. Almost all homeowner’s policies exclude the vehicles that the property owner has. This makes the need for automotive insurance more real. If the car is not insured, then purchasing the additional insurance policy is a good idea.

Most renters’ insurance policies work in a similar way. Since they insure the ‘contents’ of the rental home, they also protect the belongings you put in storage. Again, check with your current insurance provider to determine what coverage you already have before you purchase the coverage offered by the rental unit.

What if You Are Not Covered?

If you do not have an existing insurance policy that will cover your belongings while in storage, you will have to decide whether or not the cost of the rental unit insurance is worthwhile. The only way to do this is to determine how valuable the items you will be storing are, how upset you will be if you lose them, and then choosing whether or not the cost of the policy make sense in light of the value of your belongings.

Keep in mind that you are not protected, even if the rental unit’s owner allows you to rent without insurance. Even the best security measures can be overcome, and no one can protect your belongings from a natural disaster. If something happens to the building, your belongings will be lost, and you will be left with nothing. If you do not want to see this happen, consider purchasing insurance for the items you place in self storage.Migson is a Public Storage Toronto company that provides self storage facilities throughout Ontario, including Toronto storage space.

If you own a car, then you are probably aware that no matter how careful that you may be, you can always have an accident.

General Liability: General liability will cover you in many different instances where a patron may try to sue, such as food poisoning, a bad fall or some other injury that takes place on your restaurant’s property.

Property: This will cover against any kind of disaster, natural or otherwise, that brings about damage to the property. This includes fire, earthquakes, floods or other disasters. It is often required if you carry a mortgage on the property as the lender also has an interest in having the property protected.

Liquor Liability: If you are going to be pouring liquor within the establishment. This insurance will cover the liability of a customer who has too much to drink and then hurts himself or others. It is a requirement in most States, and invaluable to have.

Worker’s Compensation: This is well known and put in place to cover workers and employees if they are injured while on the job. Again, it is more than likely required by the State.

I only want an online life or critical illness insurance quote

In this day and age we live at a fast moving pace. We have news and information at our finger tips. Either we can use the internet or we are receiving updates via our mobile phones.

With the power of all of these tools we are able to save us money for all the things we purchase. From choosing a new TV to buying life insurance, or even critical illness insurance.

Now I have spent many an hour reviewing my finances to reduce my spending. One area that I have spoken to quite a lot of people about is the area of life and critical illness insurance.

Some of my friends have told me ‘I just want a quote for my insurance online and I don’t want to speak to a broker’ I always have to ask them ’Why would you want to do the work yourself?’

I must admit I like to use a broker for things like life and critical illness insurance. I sometimes call two of them in order to get the best deal for myself. My friends tell me things like ‘I don’t like to be sold to’ or ‘I don’t trust salesman’. I tell you two things. I don’t like to be sold to and I don’t trust anybody! But I’d rather someone else do all the work for me and I don’t even have to pay. I agree they are trying to sell me something but if that is something I need at the best price then I’m happy.

But as long as the price is correct and the insurance company they have suggested then why not. It saves me from trawling through the web trying to fill out forms for a quote. Only to find out I am filling in a request to speak to a broker, then I have to start the whole process again.

One major benefit about using a broker is filling in the form correctly. If you are not used to filling in forms, applying for life and critical illness can be quite daunting. With horror stories of insurance companies not paying out, making sure the form is filled in correctly is vital. Insurance companies invest lots of money to ensure we don’t miss out anything in regard to our health history when we apply for life and critical illness insurance. However having a broker who fills out forms day after day will help you not to overlook any important questions.

So next time you or anyone you know are looking to save some money on your life and critical illness insurance online, think of a broker.

You may want to get an instant quote, but as quick as you could fill in the online form, a broker could be running your details through their system looking at a number of different insurance companies.

As I have mentioned, getting two brokers competing ensures you getting the best deal. All without even typing a thing.Check out other views on Insurances at http://do-i-need-insurance.blogspot.com/

Automobile insurance rules vary from state to state. It is important to understand automobile insurance rules in your state to make certain that you are prepared if you are involved in an accident. One of the first questions you should ask prospective insurance companies is what their automobile insurance rating is. Insurance companies receive a rating based on their financial status. The purpose of auto insurance is to prevent you from having to pay out a large amount of money if you are in an accident — whether you are at fault or not. If the insurance-company takes your premium but does not have the resources or inclination to pay out your claim, you will be in little better shape than if you had no coverage at all.

Automobile insurance ratings are typically available through your state’s insurance commission, the state agency that oversees insurers. Other ways to determine the rating of a company are by asking the company directly, or asking your agent or broker.
Once you are certain that you are dealing with a financially responsible company, you are ready to buy. It is important to understand the different automobile insurance rules so that you purchase the coverage that best meets your needs. By following the rules in your state you can be certain that you are protected. Automobile insurance protects you in the following ways:

1. Coverage if your car is damaged or stolen.

2. Coverage of your financial obligations if others are injured or their property is damaged due to actions on your part.

3. Coverage of medical expenses for you or others if you are involved in an accident.

Understanding these different types of coverage ensures that you are covered in any instance. Once you have purchased the policy that best meets your needs, it is important to meet your part of the agreement with the issuing company. If you are involved in an accident, it is important that you contact the insurer immediately. Automobile liability insurance reporting rules vary from state to state, but the basic rules are the same. If you are involved in an auto accident, whether you believe that you are at fault or not, there are several things that you should do:

1. If no one is injured, move to the side of the road. This reduces the risk of secondary accidents.

2. Call 911 or the local police. The rules regarding filing a police report differ, but typically if damage to either vehicle exceeds $250, you should file a police report. It never hurts to have an official record of the accident regardless.

3. Exchange insurance-information with the other party. Whether you believe that you are at fault or not, you should exchange information. The insurer will follow-up and, with the help of the police report and statements from everyone involved, determine fault and negotiate a settlement.

Automobile insurance rules differ from state to state and company to company, but if you understand the various types of coverage available, and follow the guidelines set forth by your company in the event of an accident, you should have no problems with filing or receiving a claim.Emeka Ezidiegwu is a Webmaster, author, and Internet marketer.
