An accurate, objective look at life insurance

A permanent life insurance policy could be one of the most valuable assets your clients own.

When they purchased it – through you, or through someone else – assumptions were made about the future. From market performance or personal developments, the outcome likely has changed. The Ash Life Audit team will help review the policy and make recommendations.

Clients get answers and assurance. You get a simple, yet thorough addition to your business. Contact the Advanced Case Design team at (800) 589-3000 ext. 1243 to get started!

The Audit Process
Compare. Assess. Evaluate.

Once we have all the information on hand, we dig in. Our team examines the policy’s past performance, as well as its potential future performance. Depending on your client’s circumstances, we’ll project different scenarios – if they stop paying premiums, if they leave the policy as is, etc.

After the analysis process is complete, you'll receive a comprehensive report of findings and recommendations. You’ll see whether the existing policy is still a good fit, or if there’s better coverage available.

Our team will review the report with you and discuss the results - so you have all the information you need to make a recommendation to your clients. There are two types of reports: a longer Professional report and an Essential summary report.

We've found success with policies where the client is at least 50 years old, and has a policy with at least $50,000 in cash value. Policies should generally be at least 10 years old with annual premiums of $5,000 or more. There are two good options to find a prospect for your first Ash Life Audit:

Review Your Book of Business

Find a case that meets the above criteria. Call the client and say, “I want to be sure the policy I sold you several years ago is still meeting your needs. I’ll have my team run an audit to check.”

Comments
Talk to Centers of Influence

Let your network know you can offer a formal, third-party review of existing life insurance policies. “This is a complimentary service I’m able to offer through my partnership. Let me know if you have clients who may need an audit of their policies to be sure they’re the right fit.”

Re-Evaluate Your Client's Protection

No policy is too complicated or outdated. If there’s coverage out there, we can review it. And, when necessary, we’ll find a way to bring it up to speed.
