Introducing National Care Dental Plans
Comments

Dental Plans are a highly sought-after product for many clients.  Agents have typically had to sift through a myriad of different benefit structures, co-pays, deductibles, waiting periods and plan benefits to find options that make sense for the client both in coverage and premiums.

Pinnacle is happy to now offer the new National Care dental plans underwritten by Nationwide Life, a highly respected name in the insurance world.   Plans are built for agents to sell.  The maximum annual benefit amount of up to $5,000.  The plan includes preventative services covered at 100%.  Basic Care which includes simple extractions up to 80% and Major Care include Crowns at 50%.

Premiums are level at all ages, 18 and up (no max-age).  The easy e-app platform allows for quick enrollment.  A huge national network of providers allows for an easy transition to the sale.  And lifetime commissions!

National Care Dental is the dental plan you are going to want in your sales kit.

Tips for Working Remotely

Tips for Working Remotely

Tips for Working Remotely
Comments

Pinnacle Financial Services wants to make sure that all their partner agents have the tools, technology, and know-how when it comes to working remotely.  As social distancing measures continue to be the norm insurance professionals need to adjust how they are going to market, working with clients and generating sales. 

A recurring theme these days is getting back to basics, whether it is in life or in work. Virtual selling is not “business as usual” for most but it can be a way to continue to manage your business.

Here are a few basic tips to ramp up socially distanced virtual selling.

  • Call all your top clients. Keep it simple. Be direct and confident when discussing important issues virtually. Useful information can be found:
  • Send email messages to all your clients to see if they have any questions and whether they would like to schedule a short phone or Zoom (online) appointment.
  • When you contact a client it  should be personal, questions like “How are you doing?” Business will take care of itself if you are looking at helping clients during this stressful time.
  • Do not recreate the wheel. Use pre-done carrier materials such as the United Healthcare’s Virtual Selling Support documents.
  • Remember that prospecting is more important that ever. Reach out to some prospects you were working on. Everyone has concerns and questions.
  • Consider hosting a Zoom (online) educational group meeting. Ask your clients to invite friends. You can make it a straight presentation or make it a question/answer discussion. This can be an excellent networking opportunity as well for well face to face sales once again become more of an option.
  • Sales are live. Telephonic and e-app technology are readily available such as Connect4Medicare from Pinnacle Financial Services.

Making a concerted effort to adjusting to prospecting, selling, and doing most things remotely will take time. Your tone, knowledge, and energy are more important than ever. Just like most things practice makes all the difference. Consider setting up Zoom calls with family to make sure you have a firm grasp of the technology and get feedback on your demeanor and the visual. How is your appearance? What is in the background that clients will be able to see?

The experts at Pinnacle Financial Services are here to help. Call for one on one training and for access to all our training videos. You do not have to go at it alone.

  • IGO: Quote, compare and sell final expense, term life, universal life, and index universal life electronically.
  • Annuity Sales: E-Application with remote appointment setting.

According to Senior Annuity Sales director Josh Horton: “Many of our Life and Annuity lead companies have pivoted to the changing environment as well. Pre-set appointments have gone to Zoom or GoToMeeting. Mailers have been amended to include “no face-to-face meeting necessary”. Even our Annuity Seminars have continued remotely. “

During these unprecedented times, the government is taking steps to help individuals and businesses across the country.​

“The COVID-19 crisis continues to effect everyone, including the way they make a living. Here in Pennsylvania, Governor Wolf has increased stay-at-home warnings which can include up to  “loss of license” for agents who attempt to work in the field. The bottom line for insurance agents, as with the rest of the community, is to stay home. Fortunately, there are still ways to help your clients and complete enrollments. Most carriers have instituted new policies and procedures to allow for sales to be completed over the phone from beginning to end.” says Jeff Palo Senior Director of Medicare sales at Pinnacle.

​A new resource that has recently passed is the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act provides approximately $2 trillion in emergency health care and economic relief as the country battles the COVID-19 virus.

The CARES Act includes provisions intended to aid many small businesses such as all of the insurance agents and agencies across the country.

For details on the CARES Act please visit:

SBA.gov

We encourage you to review the provisions of the CARES Act to determine whether seeking such aid may benefit you or your small business.

Remember, the remote selling and e-app methods from Pinnacle Financial adhere to recommended social distancing guidelines.

Our Main business hours continue to remain 8:30 am to 5:00 pm EST.

We will continue to maintain the level of service you have grown accustomed to while protecting our employees.​
