“One of the big things we have been doing in the last couple of months is we have increased our commissions dramatically. From what I've seen, we have the top highest commissions in the marketplace.” - Ryan McMillan

IFG's director of Sales and Marketing, Matthew Murray, welcomes Ryan McMillan, Vice President of Sales for Seniors and Individuals at Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company to our newly refreshed podcast studio at the home office in Wilmington, North Carolina. 

The two discuss fantastic opportunities for agents within the Bankers Fidelity line of products, including improvements to the new Lump Sum Cancer policy, their Hospital Indemnity plan (Vantage Flex Plus), and the new Final Expense Life product. Matthew reflects on this admiration for the new Final Expense product that gives agents a commission similar to a Med Supp with a lower front end and a bigger trail like a HEAP commission—with a per-app bonus. It is rare for a commission structure to be this robust for final expense agents. 

Bankers Fidelity launched the Vantage Flex Plus Hospital Indemnity plan in the last nine months. Ryan talks about the unique nature of this policy and details the many features other policies do not offer. Vantage Flex Plus is a customizable, supplemental insurance plan to assist your client with hospital confinement expenses due to an illness or injury. They provide a 30-day separation period, which benefits your client five times yearly—eleven different riders to customize for your client's specific need. Agents can write this policy during AEP and get paid right away. 

Most carriers choose coverage in $5K increments for cancer plans. Still, Bankers Fidelity offers a range in the thousand dollars increments, which helps agents figure out the best premium to retain that client and work within their budget. Matthew sums up the ideal product for agents, " Are the commissions good? Is it easy to underwrite, and is it easy to get paid?"

Ryan shares, "One of the big things we have been doing in the last couple of months is we have increased our commissions dramatically. From what I've seen, we have the top highest commissions in the marketplace. It's been a nice little bump. Easy underwriting with three simple questions." 

You don't want to miss this interview! Tons of great information about the products offered by Bankers Fidelity in the marketplace: Medicare Supplement, short-Term Care, Lump Sum Cancer Insurance, Final Expense, and Hospital Indemnity plans.
