'Tis the season to reference one of my all-time favorite movies, "It's a Wonderful Life"! To think of it, I have probably seen this movie every year since I can remember. And, no, I am not going to tell you how long that has been (Editors note: a hint appears somewhere later in this posting).
Legend has it that Bedford Falls, the fictional hometown of the Frank Capra classic, is based on the small town of Seneca Falls, here in upstate NY. We all know the story of "It's a Wonderful Life," but to me it's really about living your life to the fullest and being grateful for all that you have. I still get tears in my eyes when George Bailey, holding Zuzu in his arms, looks around the room full of family and friends, amazed with all that has transpired. I know, it is just a movie, but day in and day out, we are affected by the little things that can (and do) add up to something wonderful.
When I look around at MedAmerica, I also see a room full of family and friends, and have a feeling, probably very similar to George Bailey, that I'm part of something wonderful, too. Did you know that in 2012, we will be celebrating 25 years as an exclusive long term care insurance carrier? I simply have no idea where the time has gone. I was here in the beginning (Editor's note: hint, hint) and I have been honored and humbled to be part of this very special organization. We have a lot of great events planned for our "Silver" anniversary, so keep an eye out in the new year.
In the meantime, I wish you all a beautiful and happy holiday season, and hope you remember that "Every time a policy gets issued, an agent gets his wings!" Or, at the very least, a little jingle in your pocketbook.
As always, contact me anytime. I'm here to help!

Getting the Most from FlexCare
|
 |
At this point, we all know that there are some pretty incredible features of FlexCare that set it apart from the competition: 100% worldwide coverage, calendar day elimination periods, unique couples benefits, and cutting edge inflation options.
Most importantly, it allows the most flexibility of any product on the market to custom design a price-sensitive option. And when it comes to closing the sale, we all know it usually comes down to one thing. Price.
So, how do you position FlexCare to win the price war? Here's one idea. Use the Combination Benefit Increase Rider. This innovative inflation option increases the current daily and lifetime maximum benefit annually by 5% compound through age 60. From age 61 through age 74 the benefits increase annually by 5% simple. What does this mean? More than adequate inflation protection for your client at super competitive rates.
