... can allow funding to support their children or grandchildren to attend future education. With the large sums of money required these days for young people to get a college degree this might prove to be a massive advantage. Some families are left to fork out serious amounts of cash after being hit with estate taxes upon death. A life insurance policy might help paying the amount required. This can cause a lot of financial pressure on the family, often having to sell their assets for much less than market value. Life insurance can often help equalize the person's inheritance . If the person has property and intends to leave it to one of their children they can buy life insurance to the value of the property in the other child's name as a beneficiary. Life Insurance Is A Great Way To Give To Charity In most countries it is possible to name a charity as a beneficiary. The proceeds are completely tax free and is a safe way to ensure the charity receives the finances. This has proven to be a fantastic and inexpensive way to denote to the charity of your choice. Is Life Insurance Good For Business?Many employees are offered life insurance as an employee benefit. This can be a fantastic incentive for a person to join a business and can help create a happy workforce and add to a positive working environment. It often makes the employee feel like the business they work for cares about their health and the well being of their family. This can help raise productivity. Life insurance can also help create a good bond between employees and employers. It allows employees to spend less time ...

A CHRISTMAS CONTRIBUTION Clients appreciate receiving Christmas cards and letters. It's nice to know that someone out there cares and wants to be remembered. Several years ago, IMMS received a memorable Christmas letter from Consumer Marketing Inc. of Los Angeles, reproduced below. Your agency's favorite charity might be a children's hospital, the Salvation Army, a homeless shelter, or any of the thousands of other charities that need help. So this year, why not make a donation to a charity in your clients' names, then send a similar letter? Your clients will remember you. Dear (Customer Name), CHRISTMAS IS FOR KIDS! With this in mind, as in years past, we thought we would do something that would have a lasting benefit for children who are not as fortunate as we are during the holiday season. Since the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles has special needs at this time of year, we have made a contribution in your name to Children's Hospital so that the kids there might have a more enjoyable Christmas. We at Consumer Marketing thank you ...

... Most agency owners view their membership in the Rotary Club, Optimists, or Kiwanas (to name only a few organizations) as networking or community marketing. Although such memberships are good for marketing and networking, try to think of them more in terms of public relations. Just as with trade associations, such memberships are only as good as your level of participation. Seek out elected offices, serve as a spokesperson, take on special interest committee work. Among the personal benefits you may experience, other members will come to think of you as a mover and shaker and rely on your guidance. Not a bad persona for an insurance agent. Plus, the more active you are, the more chance you will be seen as a spokesperson for your group when local media cover your activities. CHARITY WORK. Nearly all the civic membership items just mentioned apply to charity work. One distinct advantage is that you don't have to look for a charity to join, you can start your own. Just pick a local shelter, hospice, or any other nonprofit organization that benefits your community and build your own fund-raising program for them. A Ford dealership in Southern New Jersey selected five charities to help, ranging from an orphanage to a hospital. Starting with raffles, this dealership now actually produces major concerts to raise funds. The dealership has also joined forces with one of the banks and one of the supermarkets for co-op promotion and ticket sales: You have to go to one of the three to buy your tickets. Everyone within a hundred miles knows of this dealership's philanthropy, and business ...

... Life/Health topics, which are high on almost everyone's list of needs and interests. Close the seminar with a presentation of the agency's strengths-such as the carriers it represents, its personnel, and its local involvement in civic affairs-and its commitment to earn business and loyalty through professionalism and dedicated service. Distribute brief seminar-evaluation forms with an option to request an appointment. A seminar featuring travel to one or more sites, whether it's a nearby attraction or a tour half a world away, also can be highly effective. After whetting the attendees' appetites, the insurance presentation can illustrate how potentially significant savings achieved through the agency's professionalism can help fund such excursions. Life insurance is particularly dramatic: In some cases, the savings may be enough to fund most or all of the featured trips. A charity may sponsor or co-sponsor the seminar, with the admission fee going as a contribution to the charity. The agency's Life specialist will discuss how donors can benefit by making planned gifts to charity, improving both their income tax and estate tax positions. A professional review of all coverages-P/C , Life, and Health-is offered, and the services of the bank's trust department may be offered where appropriate.

... . Granted, they put in more time and effort than anyone else, but their returns are usually well beyond the 10-1 ratio. Due to their actions, people want to become close to them in both business and social circles. After all, winners attract winners, and everyone wants to be associated with a winner. Is it any wonder that this 10% also encompasses some of the most successful business leaders in the community? The traits they developed to build their success are the same ones that serve them well in the volunteer arena. The qualities that enable them to lead their employees help them lead the community as well. You Get in Proportion to What You Give As a case in point, I recently produced a four-hour, live talent competition show here in Branson for a particular charity. I knew that several board members would rally volunteers and get specific jobs done. These same people were also among the busiest of our board members in every facet of their lives. I also knew that I needed assistance in other critical areas and that I couldn't rely on board members to follow through and complete these assignments. So I looked to the community and found highly successful, non-board members who were fans of this particular charity. They jumped at the opportunity to help in many, many ways, and were directly responsible for much of the event's success. Is it any wonder that they're so successful? People want to do business with people like this! I also invited a friend and a relative to the event. One sat in the audience and did a little schmoozing to ...
