Manulife USA launches Life Insurance in Retirement Planning sales tool kit Boston – In response to concerns about whether clients will have sufficient income for retirement, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (Manulife USA) introduced its latest sales tool kit and MLI SolutionsSM software module for advisors interested in learning more about life insurance in retirement planning. Manulife’s MLI SolutionsSM Retirement Planning concept illustration system helps advisors provide simple solutions to complex estate and business planning cases. The Life Insurance in Retirement Planning module illustrates how using variable universal life insurance can provide an alternative means to tax-deferred growth potential for clients.1 With this module, advisors can look at some of the benefits of variable life insurance versus other retirement savings options. “Permanent life insurance policies, particularly variable life insurance, are often overlooked as a tax-favored source of retirement income,” said Robert A. Cook, President of U.S. Insurance for Manulife USA. “For clients interested in saving more for their retirement and curbing the effects of inflation and income taxes on retirement savings, life insurance can provide an excellent way to save for the future, in addition to providing a death benefit for their heirs.” MLI Solutions offers the flexibility that advisors need to develop the customized and comprehensive solutions that their clients demand. MLI Solutions has estate and retirement planning modules, as well as business planning modules. Each module has its own sales package complete with marketing tools, PowerPoint presentations, and technical resources needed to close the case. With the introduction of Manulife’s Life Insurance in Retirement Planning sales tool kit and MLI Solutions software module comes comprehensive support from one of the industry’s leading Advanced Markets groups. To help advisors promote and sell this concept, a sales tool kit including a guide, Client Profile, Sales Strategy, Concept Profile and CD-ROM is available by contacting Advanced Markets at (888) 266-7498, option 3 or via e-mail at jroper@manulifeusa.com.
