Get the Kit

This month, we're talking about critical illness insurance. It's an important financial safeguard the fills gaps left by disability, life, and health insurance.

Our October 2018 sales kit will help you teach your prospects about critical illness insurance. The statistics about the types of illnesses covered are pretty scary. For example, did you know that someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds? Or that every four minutes, someone dies from a stroke? That's according to the CDC's latest published statistics. And according to Cancer.gov, an estimated 1,735,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2018. In the United States, some 609,640 people will die from cancer this year. Chances are most of your clients and prospects have either dealt with one of these illnesses, known someone who has, or been a caregiver for someone else battling the illness. It might be a scary topic, but it's also a relatable one.

How to Use This Month’s Sales Kit

Chances are most of your clients don't know what critical illness insurance is. This means you have to lay some groundwork by educating them, but it also means they'll know you're looking out for their best financial interests.

Medical bills are a leading cause of bankruptcy, especially among seniors. The Kaiser Family Foundation noted that 1 million adults declared bankruptcy due to medical bills in 2015. A whopping 26% of Americans aged 18-64 had problems paying their medical bills. As recently as summer of 2018, they found that 40% of insured adults ages 18-64 received an unexpected medical bill in the past year. Critical illness insurance - which covers dread diseases like cancer, stroke, kidney failure, paralysis, coronary events, and more - could have helped in many cases.
