It’s come to my attention that there are still some agents out there who aren’t selling disability insurance. I can only assume it’s because they’re a little frightened by the process. Maybe they’re worried their clients will ask questions about riders they’re unfamiliar with, or maybe they don’t know where to place clients with pre-existing medical conditions. Maybe they don’t even know how to approach the subject with their clients. Well, fear not dear agents, for DIS is here to help you overcome these obstacles! Trust me, selling disability insurance isn’t scary. In fact, it’s the least scary thing I can think of. That’s why I decided to make a list of all the things that are far scarier than selling disability insurance, just to prove my point. Enjoy!
