Manulife USA launches executive bonus arrangements and REBA sales tool kit Boston – Because extending rewards and incentives to key employees is crucial to the retention of quality executives, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (Manulife USA) now offers an executive bonus/restrictive endorsement bonus arrangements (REBA) sales tool kit for advisors interested in learning more about using life insurance as a tool for executive compensation. The MLI SolutionsSM Executive Bonus Arrangements/REBA concept illustration system depicts the benefits of these arrangements in an easy-to-understand format. This kit contains a variety of sales materials and technical resources designed to help educate advisors who may be unfamiliar with the concepts of executive bonus/REBA. The Executive Bonus/REBA kit also looks at the advantages of using these concepts in place of split dollar arrangements, in light of the recent legislation and the uncertainty surrounding it. “This sales tool kit condenses the knowledge and experience of Manulife’s Advanced Market experts and places it at the fingertips of advisors, helping them to better serve their clients,” said Robert A. Cook, President of U.S. Insurance, Manulife USA. 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 USA’s Executive Bonus Arrangements/REBA sales tool kit and MLI Solutions software module comes comprehensive support from one of the industry’s best Advanced Markets groups.
