Deliver the Good News….

Even with higher premiums, the cost of a lifetime of premiums usually equals a few months of care

A low interest rate environment decreases the cost for housing and credit financing—this offsets the higher cost of insurance

The younger you are when you buy, the lower the premium

New products have great benefits
