SEPTEMBER IS LIFE INSURANCE AWARENESS MONTH

 

 

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month and a great reason to connect with potential and existing clients. This national, industry-wide campaign helps educate Americans about the importance of life insurance and helps ensure families are adequately protected.

Help your agents take full advantage of all the resources that feature the 2016 LIAM spokesperson – race car driver Danica Patrick. Have them watch!

 

Her message is simple, “Driving race cars is risky. Not having life insurance is riskier. It means leaving your loved ones to suffer financially if something happened to you,” she says.

Your agents can use these and all of the LIAM resources that Life Happens has created, available at www.lifehappens.org/liam.

Did your agents miss the LIAM webinar?

They can watch here to learn about all of the resources Life Happens has created for LIAM and how to incorporate them into their LIAM plans.
