<Hand out business card and/or Prestige brochure> Hello my name is _____ with American General Life and Accident Insurance Company. I work with many businesses like yours to craft effective solutions for the employees of small business America. <Review Prestige brochure> <Talk a little about yourself> <For example: “I’ve been with American General Life and Accident for ______ years.

Let me begin by congratulating you on working for an employer who demonstrates a concern for their employees and understands your need for ample time and professional assistance to enable you to make good decisions regarding benefits for you and your family. In a time when many companies are eliminating employee benefits, your employer has chosen to do the exact opposite. He/she is expanding your benefits by offering additional options and granting you access to a licensed insurance professional. This supports a consultative approach to risk analysis that will enable you to make informed decisions about your benefits…as you’ll learn in today’s seminar.
Let me take a moment to tell you a little about our company and what we do.

When making a decision concerning voluntary benefits, it’s always important for you to consider the ratings of the company you do business with. The most prominent independent rating agencies continue to recognize our company in terms of insurer financial strength and claims paying ability. You can visit our web-site for more information.
In the past you may have taken advantage of traditional voluntary benefit programs which enabled you to have a wide array of coverage available through single need type products, such as: Term or permanent life insurance Accident Insurance Critical Illness Insurance Cancer Insurance Disability Insurance Supplemental Health Insurance However, experience has demonstrated that the traditional approach has limitations.
The problem with this approach is that you may have been provided a folder of product brochures for eight or ten products and were then asked to select which products best met your needs…without guidance in understanding how to assess risk associated with each product solution Many times, with limited funds, you are forced to decide whether to spend your premium dollars on life insurance, cancer insurance, disability insurance or some other single need type coverage—possibly gambling on the wrong option .
This creates an Information or decision making dilemma, which many times leads to anxiety. <Read quote from slide>
This is where we, as American General Life and Accident, distinguish ourselves from the competition. Rather than asking you to gamble as you choose how to spend your premium dollars—we prefer to use a consultative approach to educate you about the risks you face and enable you to make informed decisions that will provide greater financial security. We offer a superior differentiated solution that may enable you to secure protection for multiple coverage needs, under one policy, with one premium commitment.
These superior differentiated solutions are available in AGLA’s Quality of Life…Insurance products. It’s life insurance you truly don’t have to die to use. I’d like you to take the next 4 min to view a video that highlights the Quality of Life…Insurance solution.

Quality of Life…Insurance is changing the way American’s think about, purchase and use life insurance.
