A participating policy had dividends, which although not guaranteed, had a long history of steady increases. In both instances, if you paid the premium, you got the benefit. When Universal Life, Current Assumption Whole Life, and Variable Universal Life became readily available in the early 1980s, everything we thought we knew about Life insurance went out the proverbial window. With the emergence of these policies at the same time as the introduction of Sam's Club, Costco, and Price Club, consumers were attracted to the apparent opportunity to buy Life insurance for less.

There's no single formula. Life/Health books ... goal is to identify the probability that your book will produce X dollars in a given period of time, based on the potential income stream from both renewals and cross-selling.
