Webinar for Exeter PFS members - Value of Added benefits - Scottish Widows Care Protection CPD
As protection providers we all have some form of benefit attached to a policy. But turn this around to help you overcome objectives and close the sale. If we use Car Insurance as a great example as consumers we all check our annual renewal via a comparison site and in the main all tick for ‘legal services’ or ‘no claims protection’ but we are happy to pay for such additional benefits. Upsell the benefits attached to your Protection Policy whereby there is no additional charge. Use examples to demonstrate how this can help your client and their immediate family. Mr Client you have a back exclusion on your policy but you can still use the services of Scottish Widows Care. Mental Health is big talking point currently with Covid-19.
