You Won’t Spook Your Clients
Jeff Levin, Vice President of Distribution, OneAmerica
Intriguing data coming from the recent Long-Term Care survey conducted by OneAmerica shows that consumers need and appreciate when financial professionals talk with them about long-term care. Instead of LTC being scary, it is a topic that consumers find beneficial to talk with a trusted financial professional about since they rely on people like us to help them navigate the options. Consumers indicate they prefer asset-based long-term care and are strongly drawn to the idea that premiums don’t increase and that there can be tax-free benefits. Instead of the ‘use it or lose it’ trick traditionally experienced, consumers find the treat of passing it on to their family members an appealing feature. Finally, knowing that a long-term care event will not devastate their finances and retirement will give peace of mind to your clients. Jeff Levin will unpack all the goodies of the LTC consumer study in a way that will get you wanting to knock on your neighbor’s door to initiate the important conversation of LTC.
1:00 PM ET
Don't Let LTC Bury Your Clients in Worry and Debt
Carroll Golden, Executive Director, Centers of Excellence, NAIFA
Trudging through a grueling, ominous discussion won’t take the pain out of LTC client conversations. Short of casting a spell, you need steps to follow and a playbook of options. Don’t be afraid to learn about tailor-made LTC steps and options for any budget for healthy and not-so-healthy earthly beings.
2:00 PM ET
