IRR Supplemental Enabled for Life Protector

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) supplemental is now available to be added to Life Protector illustrations! 
The IRR is a method used to determine the return on premiums paid into a life insurance policy.  It is the calculation of the interest rate required for the cumulative premiums paid accumulated with interest to equal the death benefit or surrender value of the policy in a given year.  Each year's IRR calculation assumes the policy is still inforce and the insured died or surrendered at the end of that year.
To add the IRR to the Life Protector on the desktop system simply check the 'Internal Rate of Return' box in the Supplementals box.


If you're using the online new business illustration system click on 'Tools' (the wrench icon), 'Print Defaults', and then check the 'Internal Rate of Return' box that is listed in the Supplemental section.


If you have any questions on the Internal Rate of Return supplemental or how to add it to your Life Protector illustration give us a call!

 Have a Great Day,

A Couple Quick Quoter Tips

The Quick Quoter is a great way to consider different coverage options for clients. It is more streamlined than the new business illustration system and creates more condensed illustrations that are easier to take in. These advantages can be furthered by the following tips which should greatly enhance your experience.

Entering Detailed Client Information

Personal information of the client only needs to be entered once so it is kept out of the way the majority of the time. To enter or edit more detailed client info, simply click the icon next to the word 'Client' in the header of that section.  


The 'Client' section will expand to include the necessary fields to input. To hide it again, re-click the icon.


Live Validation

After entering a value into an input field the value is automatically validated.  If there is an invalid value or combination of values a detailed error message will be display at the top in red.  In a similar fashion if a value is ever updated due to a change made elsewhere on the screen a warning message will be displayed at the top in blue.  The image below shows a warning message about the age being automatically calculated  based on the entered date of birth and an error message stating that the entered specified amount is invalid.  Also note that the field corresponding to the message is also highlighted red and blue.




Accessing Previous Illustrations


Another advantage of the Quick Quoter is that the inputs for your illustrations are automatically saved.  Click 'View Past Quick Quoter PDFs' to access your saved cases.

Note that the “Save Output As” field which normally sets the title for the .pdf file also serves as the record for your previous illustrations.
 
 



Finally, to load all of the settings that were used to create the previous quote simply click the icon in the “View Wizard” column. The quote is ready to reprint or modify as needed!

If you have any questions about how the Quick Quoter works please do not hesitate to contact us.
