August 2020 Sales Kit: Back to School

Get the Kit

Our August 2020 sales kit is all about college planning. College isn't getting any cheaper, but you can help families plan ahead with permanent life insurance.

During the 2019-2020 academic year, the average yearly price of college tuition (including fees, room, and board) was $30,500. Do your clients have an extra $30,500 lying around...per year, per child? Not all parents can afford to help their kids with college, but with the right planning, they can help lighten the load. Cash value life insurance is one way to start building a pot of money parents can pull from later when their little genius becomes Harvard-bound.

How to Use This Month’s Sales Kit

You're probably already familiar with the benefits of permanent life insurance. But the references in this month's kit will help you provide solid numbers for your clients about what it's likely to cost to send a child to college. The last segment of the kit is 17 fact-filled pages with stats like this: the average yearly cost of a public 2-year institution is $3,730 for tuition and fees, and an additional $8,990 for room and board. Your clients need these numbers so they can start to plan: can their child live at home and go to a 2-year school, then transfer to a 4-year school to complete their degree? How does that change the amount they might be able to contribute?

Use the discussion guide and client profile in this month's kit as you meet with clients. Keep track of what they say when you ask about their financial goals, their current savings, and their retirement needs. The biggest risk here is parents who fail to save for retirement because they want to help their kids with college. That's why a versatile cash value policy makes sense for lots of families in this situation. If they don't already have death benefit protection, of course they need that. But if they also anticipate future expenses like the need for supplemental retirement income or rising healthcare costs, that cash value is ready to be deployed where they need it most. That's not the case with a traditional college saving vehicle (a 529 plan, for example). That money can't be re-routed if the family's needs change, or if their child's plans change between now and enrollment day.
