DI Did You Know
According to the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association (LIMRA), 52% of Americans own life insurance but ONLY 14% (down from 31% in 2012) own disability insurance.
This creates an amazing opportunity for Advisors! DI is most-likely undersold because clients don’t know much about it. However, once a client realizes that life insurance pays benefits to beneficiaries while DI pays benefits directly to the client, DI should be an easy sale.
