Income Search

Today I wanted to take some time and walk through how to set up one of our more popular sales concepts, the Income Search.  The Income Search will solve for the max level income the client can take based on the inputs you select.

To begin, navigate to www.ikclife.com and login.  Don't forget you are now able to sign into the illustration system using your kclic.net credentials!

Once you have logged in, click on 'Illustration System' on the New Business Illustrations tab.  Choose the product you would like to quote and enter in the client's information.  The Income Search is available on the following products:
FlexWealth Advantage, Life Protector, SuperNOVA, EquiFlex - IUL and the Accumulator VUL.

Next choose the insured's gender, enter in the date of birth, and select the risk class you would like to quote.  Adjust the billing mode and type if needed and enter the specified amount of your choice.  Now you can either calculate the premium or set up your own premium schedule.

You are now ready to add the Income Search.  To do so, click on the clipboard to get to the available sales concepts and click on the green plus sign to add the Income Search.   



Here you can choose what type of income you would like to take and for how long.  Please note the income duration boxes use policy years and not age.


After clicking on the magnifying glass to run the illustration you will see the pages for the sales concept titled 'Loans and Withdrawals Supplemental Illustration' after the initial illustration.  One of the pages will have the cash flow summary like below.  There will also be a second illustration that takes the income into account.


If you have any questions or you would like to walk through setting up an income search on an illustration don't hesitate to contact us!

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.
