April is bowel cancer awareness month, and we thought it would be helpful for advisers to produce an analysis of How Critical Illness plans cover Bowel Cancer? Just a quick reminder we are now producing these summaries in advance to help Advisers create their own content, but if you wish to directly quote from our analysis, please speak to us as it’s our copyright and we will need to organise a licence for you to use it.

There is universal recognition around the industry that consumers need more Income Protection cover so also last week we published a summary of making light work of Income Protection comparisons. As well as exploring the subject, we tell you how you can join one of our dedicated training sessions and once you have participated, you receive a free 30-day trial of Protection Guru Pro, the most comprehensive protection “value for money” research system in the market. Research with our users tells us that on average they generate £300 per cover more by using our approach which produces better consumer outcomes and grows adviser income. So, if you want to improve your compliance and make more money, please click on the link above to participate.

We also took the opportunity to look at the important considerations when recommending Life and Critical Illness cover. Please remember all our studies are created to help you complete your structured/unstructured CPD activities.

Another part of the evolution of Protection Guru is how we are now regularly looking at features we particularly like from different insurers. Last week we considered and why we like Zurich’s Children’s Critical Illness Cover. This is a great opportunity to remind yourself of some very special features they offer. Last week also saw The Exeter announce income protection and life cover enhancements, so we gave you a quick summary of all you need to know.

Turning to other big news, We Are Hiring for someone to join our Adviser Technology Research Team. Ideally the role will suit somebody currently working as a paraplanner within an advice firm who has a passion for adviser technology. This is a tremendous opportunity to join a vibrant team doing exciting things to help advisers. So, if you know someone who would suit, please point them in our direction. In the first instance they should message our Operations Manager using this link Dee Adam via LinkedIn.
