MetLife Enhanced Rate Plus could save you and your eligible clients weeks – as long as the process is followed. And the key to this process is the telephone interview.

- Setting your client’s expectation for a time commitment.
- Making sure your client knows and keeps their appointment time.

So, a three-year LTC event could have a significant impact on your clients’ savings. Tell them about Total Living Coverage (TLC)! This linked benefits life insurance product leverages underperforming money into valuable protection. It instantly provides your clients with approximately 2x their initial premium for a death benefit and almost 5.5x their initial premium for covered long term care benefits. In other words, TLC helps clients’ money work a whole lot harder. Learn more. (If you sell in CA, CT, CL, HI or NY, click here.)
