The biggest mistake people make when
they shop for disability insurance is attempting to compare rates.
No two disability policies are the same, and therefore there is no
way to compare them apples to apples. Have a range of money you
are willing to spend on the insurance, and then have the insurance
company show you what they can offer in that price range. Not just
the monthly benefit, but optional riders, and benefits built into
the policies.
Shopping
More people each year are using the internet to obtain disability
insurance coverage. There is more information accessible to the
consumer than ever before, empowering you to make an educated decision.
The strength of the products we sell is evident to the person who
understands what they are buying. The simple price shopper will
most likely end up with inferior coverage, and most likely realize
their mistake at the worst possible moment. Disability insurance
is not a product that you can compare by price, monthly benefits,
elimination period, and riders. You have to read and understand
the language of the riders, and the language of the definitions
within the disability insurance policy. There is always a reason
if the price for a policy is quite inexpensive, most likely because
the definitions of the policy and riders are restrictive.
Beginning the Shopping Process
The process of shopping for disability insurance can be as easy,
or as painful as you would like it to be. We will actually only
quote people we believe belong with one of the major carriers we
work with. If you request a disability insurance quote from us,
and we don't think you are a good fit for coverage with one of the
carriers we work with, then we will send you an e-mail with a link
to another company we do think you should obtain coverage with.
Some of the other companies we will recommend people to are:
Research & Evaluation
Take your time researching the different provisions within a long
term disability income insurance policy. We will send you four automatic
e-mail reminders with a link to your proposal and application. This
is our way of reminding you about it, please don't consider it pushy.
After the fourth one, you won't get any more, and we delete all
of your private information from our database. We will not sell
anything about you to any other company. Take time to read other
web sites like About
Disability Insurance, and study the main aspects of any
quote you receive.
Occupations That Are A Definite
Fit
We mentioned before we will only quote occupations that are a good
fit for the disability insurance companies we work with. We make
no money sending out quotes to people who are not good fits, and
end up buying from the company that is a good fit. Some of the occupations
that are an excellent match with our carriers are:
Software Consultant / Computer
Analyst / Web Designer
Executive / Manager / Sales People (income over $50,000)
If your occupation is not in this list,
please don't think this means we don't want your business. This
list is simply to provide an example of some of the occupations
we write on a frequent basis.
Ultimately you are going to buy disability
insurance from an agent, or company you feel comfortable with. We
hope to earn your business, and promise to be available to you when
you need us.
Disability insurance is all that we
do for a living. We will never represent an insurance company that
has an inferior product line, or shaky financials. We only represent
top insurance companies.
