Protection News Weekly Roundup: Top Stories You Might Have Missed – 03-03-2025
Great insights into effective sales and objection handling is a brilliant way to start the week and that is exactly the sort of kick off Gary Waters gave us last Monday with his piece Age-banded income protection: Why you should ignore the myths.
Tuesday started with a detailed look at How flexible are insurers if clients wish to opt out of indexation increases? This is one of our drill down into the detail you need articles looking at the position of each key player. Later that day there was a similar exercise this time looking at Which Insurers offer free Income Protection Cover during underwriting? Two companies lead the way on those, click the link above to find out who they are.
Leading up to our Protection Forum tomorrow on Children’s Critical Illness cover the rest of the week saw one piece per day on the subject starting with Children’s CIC: A conversation advisers can’t afford to avoid more great training insight this time from Matt Chapman. Thursday we looked at What are the age and payout limits on children’s critical illness cover?
Before looking at the difficult subject of Which Critical Illness insurers offer Funeral Cover for children in times of unimaginable grief and closing our week exploring What are the age limits for income protection insurance?
We also had a quick catch up on How well do you know British Friendly Protect and a similar analysis on a company with products every adviser really should get to grips with Vitality Life.
Last week was a huge week for our sister AdviserSoftware.com site with the full range of demos being released from the Battle of the Tech Demos at our recent Empowering Advice Through Technology conference. These are well worth watching if you want to see great technology to help you run your advice business better but from a protection perspective. I would particularly urge you to watch The Protection Guru Pro and UnderwriteMe integration. After seeing this I am sure you will want to book onto one of the Getting More from Protection Guru Pro: Adding Value to Your Protection Conversations training sessions we now run weekly every Thursday.
