While some client relationships are rock solid and “competition proof”, others are still subject to another advisor capturing the attention of a client with a compelling proposal. That was the case in this instance, but OneAmerica was able to shine a light on the weak point in the other proposal and win the case with not only lifetime benefits, but also an increased monthly benefit. Read on for the details!
AT A GLANCE:
Product: OneAmerica Asset-Care I
Premium: $200,000 Single Pay Premium
Situation:
- A husband and wife, ages 65 and 63 respectively, consulted two advisors regarding their long-term care planning needs.
- The clients had been underwritten and approved at PacLife through the other advisor, using PremierCare to provide the LTC benefits they sought as well as cost recovery for the family.
- Liquidity, while nice, was not a primary concern based on the balance of their finances
- Two PremierCare policies, funded with $100K each, provided the male $5,616 per month, and the female $5,321 per month for a benefit period of six years.
- The second advisor consulted our office to try and win the case.
Solution:
Results:
- One of the only options in the market with lifetime benefits is the OneAmerica product line, and they are often more efficient for couples based on their joint life option.
- Asset-Care I, OneAmerica’s single pay product, was quickly illustrated with the following results:
- $200K single premium, equivalent to the outlay with PacLife
- A monthly benefit amount of $8,642 each for both husband and wife. Over $6300 more per month in benefits than PacLife!
- Lifetime benefits versus a six year benefit period with PacLife
- Armed with this proposal, the advisor worked wth the client to put the PacLife policies on hold while they applied with OneAmerica
- Bottom line? Approved, issued and placed as illustrated for a $200K single pay premium!
