Achieving suitability is like hammering a nail on its head. Even if you miss, you have to try until you get the job right.

For a financial advisor, creating suitability between client and product is a challenge with which you are confronted and a means by which you prove your mettle. Whether the product you recommend and provide is insurance or investment, expectations are set for you to do the job objectively, correctly and capably.

Learn expectations and requirements for suitability.

  • Plan for the effect of goals and constraints on suitability;

Risk is synonymous with uncertainty. The risk a person is willing to take is a result of his or her psychology, life experiences, social conventions, intelligence, and age amongst other factors. Where does that put you when you must gather information about the risk characteristics of a person and apply them to a product with its own risk profile? It puts you in a position in which information, analysis, and thought is required to arrive at appropriate answers.

This course delivers on risk fundamentals by covering:

  • The role of disclosure to risk;
  • The three measurements in a risk profile: tolerance, capacity, and need;
  • The dilemma of applying risk assessment to decision-making.

If you have client-facing responsibilities for investments or insurance, you will come away from this course with a new appreciation for the depth and breadth of risk management.

Policy Claims: A Sales and Service Opportunity
Provincial Life Credits: 3 credits (BC, AB, SK, MB, ON)
Provincial A&S Credits: 3 credits (AB, SK, MB, ON)
CFP® Certificants: 3 credits (Financial Planning)

Putting the claim top of mind may seem contrarian but doing so makes the reasons for insurance transparent and professional.

When claims information is covered up-front in a sales presentation it answers a question many prospects may find hard to ask. They want to know, “What’s in it (the insurance) for me?”

The answer to their question is the claim benefit. To make sure the claim will be all that you promise, we provide seven pointers on how to ensure a claim is successful. We describe many of the reasons life, A&S, and insurance investment claims are more or less than expected, how to find a missing policy, and pointers for the unhappy claimant.

For those struggling to find dollars for premium purposes, knowing who, when, and how the money is received from a policy can underscore the value of insurance.

  • Sales slipping? Try putting the claim payment up-front in the insurance sales process so clients understand the reasons for, and rewards of, insurance;
  • Read up on how to ensure policy claims will be successful;
  • Learn the many reasons why claims are more or less than expected;
  • Get advice on how to deal with an unhappy claimant.

Risk is synonymous with uncertainty. The risk a person is willing to take is a result of his or her psychology, life experiences, social conventions, intelligence, and age amongst other factors. Where does that put you when you must gather information about the risk characteristics of a person and apply them to a product with its own risk profile? It puts you in a position in which information, analysis, and thought is required to arrive at appropriate answers.

This course delivers on risk fundamentals by covering:

  • The role of disclosure to risk;
  • The three measurements in a risk profile: tolerance, capacity, and need;
  • The dilemma of applying risk assessment to decision-making.

If you have client-facing responsibilities for investments or insurance, you will come away with a new appreciation for the depth and breadth of risk management.

It was not unusual that long ago for financial advice to be doled out in men’s clubs or on the golf course. Women were typically marginalized. Now, advisors marginalize women at their peril. Women are a financial force with careers and professions; financial firms are identifying women as a key client category ready for attention.

Over half of Canada’s population are women. Building a female focus for your advisory practice or fine-tuning the products and services you can provide to women pays off. How? — Just consider the benefits of the number of women you could confirm as clients and their unique ability to network and refer. You could be missing out on an excellent business strategy.

These courses help you set the course.

Provincial A&S Credits: 3 credits (AB, SK, MB, ON)
CFP® Certificants: 3 credits (Financial Planning)

Putting the claim top of mind may seem contrarian but doing so makes the reasons for insurance transparent and professional.

When claims information is covered up-front in a sales presentation it answers a question many prospects may find hard to ask. They want to know, “What’s in it (the insurance) for me?”

The answer to their question is the claim benefit. To make sure the claim will be all that you promise, we provide seven pointers on how to ensure a claim is successful. We describe many of the reasons life, A&S, and insurance investment claims are more or less than expected, how to find a missing policy, and pointers for the unhappy claimant.

For those struggling to find dollars for premium purposes, knowing who, when, and how the money is received from a policy can underscore the value of insurance.

  • Sales slipping? Try putting the claim payment up-front in the insurance sales process so clients understand the reasons for, and rewards of, insurance;
  • Read up on how to ensure policy claims will be successful;
  • Learn the many reasons why claims are more or less than expected;
