Online Sales Materials Catalog

Did you know you can download and order sales materials directly from iKCLife?  We have many different types of sales materials available to you including Consumer Brochures, Fact Sheets, Sales Guides and much more.

To find the sales materials go to www.ikclife.com and click on 'Sales Materials'.


You will then have the option to search by category, a keyword, product type, market segment or form number.  For example, if you type in Life Protector in the keyword box and hit search, all applicable sales materials for that product will be populated.


To download a sales material to your computer click on the green arrow.  From here you can view, save or print that sales material.  Being able to download sales materials from our website is a fast and easy way to get the most up to date forms and brochures. It also comes in handy if you have a client that wants information on a certain type of insurance or product emailed to them.

  
If you would like a hard copy of one of the sales materials click on the clipboard.  This will take you to a screen where you can enter where you want the sales materials mailed to and how many copies you would like.  Our supply department will then process the request, and you will receive the requested sales materials in the mail.


Please let us know if you have any questions.

Quick Quoter

You are now able to quote all of Kansas City Life's term, return of premium, and whole life products in our Quick Quoter!  The Quick Quoter allows you to quickly run quotes and only generate full illustrations when you need them.  The illustrations have also been condensed, so there are fewer pages compared to the full illustrations run on the new business illustration system.

To begin, navigate to www.ikclife.com and log in.  If you do not have a log in, you can create one by clicking on 'Create User'.


Next, click on 'Quick Quoter' on the New Business Illustrations tab.


This will take you to the Quick Quoter where you can choose which product you want to quote and also enter in all of the specifics for the client and case.


To see only the premium amounts for the case, click on 'Run Case,' which will produce output like below.


If you decide you want to see the full illustration, simply check mark the 'View Full Illustration (PDF)' box and click on 'Run Case' again.  This will create a PDF that you can then save or print.


If you have any questions on the Quick Quoter, or would like to walk through putting one together please give us a call.

Computer Based Illustration System Upgrade

In 2014 the Computer Based Illustration System is moving to the .NET 4.5 Framework in order to work effectively on Windows 7 and Windows 8 based computers.
  • Microsoft Windows XP will no longer be compatible with the Computer Based Illustration System.
    • Microsoft terminated mainstream support of Windows XP on April 14, 2009.
    • Microsoft will terminate their pay-per-incident support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014.
  • I have Windows XP, what can I do?
    • To continue running the desktop system you would need to upgrade your computer to run a Microsoft Windows Vista or newer operating system.
    • If upgrading isn't an option you can log-on to www.ikclife.com and run all of your illustrations on-line.
  • If you have a newer operating system than Windows XP, but don’t have Microsoft .NET 4.5 installed on your computer you will need to download and install it from this location:  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
