#1- Mutual of Omaha

Mutual of Omaha is one of our top five carriers for final expense telesales for a few reasons. First, they remain one of the most competitively priced options for the final expense market. Assuming you can qualify for “level benefits.”

Additionally, Mutual of Omaha offers one of the more comfortable platforms for final expense telesales agents to use. Using I GO E APP, is a quick and easy process to finish the entire application with your client without hanging up the phone. It only takes roughly 20-30 minutes to complete the application from start to finish. No complaints here by any means.

Mutual of Omaha also makes the underwriting process easy. It’s a simple step 1 and steps 2 questionnaires that will either continue to qualify your client for level benefits or begin pivoting you to a graded policy. If neither of these becomes viable options, you can start looking at other carrier options.

Additionally, Mutual of Omaha offers great commissions to Agents and can gets your cases approved quickly. Primarily when you use the dial-in option to complete the phone interview with your client.

#2 -Liberty Bankers Life

Liberty Bankers Life is perhaps the top niche underwriting final expense carrier every agent needs to have in their back pocket ready to offer clients. Liberty Bankers Life is one of the few carrier options that can get your clients approved for coverage with COPD and will provide coverage to felons if 2 years has passed since the conviction.

For the SIMPL Preferred plan, Liberty Bankers will be the cheapest option you can offer to your clients, but with the impaired niche underwriting class coming in at the SIMPL Standard plan, you can still provide affordable coverage for individuals with health concerns.  Health concerns such as the following.

• Chronic Bronchitis
• Emphysema
• Peripheral Vascular Disease
• Peripheral Artery Disease
• Chronic Hepatitis
• Hepatitis C or Cirrhosis of the Liver
• Chronic Pancreatitis
• Liver Disease
• Kidney Disease
• Insulin After the Age of 25
• Irregular Heartbeat
• Atrial Fibrillation
• Systemic Lupus (SLE)
• Epileptic Seizures
• Parkinson’s Disease

I think anyone here would agree that having these conditions covered even on the standard plan which is a bit more costly is still a massive advantage in the world of final expense telesales.

Giving your client hope or the ability to get covered on day 1 benefits with conditions such as the ones listed above is a much better situation then your client opting to investigate guaranteed issue life insurance policies with a company such as AIG.

Additionally, Liberty Bankers Life has one of the fastest options for point of sale approvals with the telephone interview. They are one of the easiest carriers not only to offer clients but to ensure that business is sold and stays on the books.
