LifePro Hosts the 2023 Elite Chairman's Club Conference

Don't Buy (Or Offer) an IUL Until You Read This

Every year, LifePro celebrates the success of our top advisors by hosting them at the LifePro Elite Chairman’s Club Conference. This all-inclusive trip to a world class location is a way for the industry’s top advisors to be recognized for their hard work throughout the year. However, the Elite Chairman’s Club Conference is more than a vacation filled with fun activities for them and their families. It’s a place for ambitious leaders, at various points in their careers who work tirelessly to be among the top 5% of financial professionals in the industry, to connect with like-minded experts.

This event is an expression of our commitment to the success of our advisors.

Beyond the rewarding incentive of a week-long getaway vacation, this is an opportunity for the most accomplished members of our LifePro community, and the industry, to network and gain access to the resources and insights that will continue to promote their success in the years to come.

Recognizing how important it is to gather the brightest and most successful minds in the industry to share ideas and best practices, the Chairman’s Club is also where we host and facilitate the highly sought-after and exclusive business sessions LifePro offers, the Elite Mastermind Meetings. During these meetings, advisors learn from one another’s successful strategies to either spark new ideas that they’ve never considered or seek mentorship on something they’ve been struggling with in their business.

During this year’s Mastermind Meetings, the most central focus that arose in conversation was how to maximize returns while cutting operational costs. The high-quality level of individuals in the room shared equally impressive ideas about how they are efficiently managing tasks and successfully scaling their businesses for profit.

This year, the LifePro Elite Chairman’s Club Conference was hosted in Del Mar, California and we were honored to have advisors from across the country come together to join us. It was truly incredible how much knowledge and expertise were shared and exchanged with each other.

While any financial professional would want to be a fly on the wall in these meetings, they would benefit much more from participating in them. If you would like to join us for the LifePro Elite Chairman’s Club Conference, please reach out to your FSR about how you can qualify for next year’s trip.

Digital Distribution Of Premium Finance Life Insurance

Don't Buy (Or Offer) an IUL Until You Read This

Adam Reyna Highlighted in Broker World Magazine

Please take a few minutes to go on a quick journey with me. I want you to think back to the first vehicle you owned. For many, that was one of the best times of their life. You were a young 16-year-old with the whole world in front of you. Times were simple. Even though your first vehicle was a gas-guzzling stick shift with windows you had to roll down by hand, and the glove box only opened when you smacked it just right, you loved that car. That car was the best thing to happen to you.

Back then, we did not know what future technology our world had in store for us. We were just happy to be on four wheels.

Fast forward to today.

Now you are behind the wheel of your brand new, top-of-the-line electric car that looks like a spaceship, is charged by your solar-powered home, everything functions on voice command, and drives itself to work. At sixteen, you would have done anything for a spaceship like this. We had no idea what technology had in store back then, but we kept evolving along with it, and by doing so, those new technologies have greatly improved our lives.

What if your insurance business was your vehicle? Are you still cranking your windows down like when you were sixteen without AC, or are you rolling around in an advanced car that takes the work out of driving and makes your life easier? If it has been a while since you looked around to see what is on the market, it might be time to schedule a test drive and see what you are missing out on.

With a unique proprietary technology offered through a limited distribution by our firm, you can upgrade your business and open the door for opportunities you would not have had with outdated business models and strategies. This one-of-a-kind technology can market, educate, and enroll your clients or prospects into a hybrid premium finance product using indexed universal life insurance.

Episode #302: Annuity Myths Busted by the Wealthy


 

Are you on the path to a secure retirement? Your financial future shouldn’t be left to chance and you deserve a secure, comfortable, and well planned retirement that starts with your decision to fully educate yourself on the options available to you. When it comes to planning for your financial future, one word you're likely to encounter is "annuity."

Annuities can be powerful tools for retirement income, but they come in various forms, each with its own set of features and benefits and unfortunately, that can result in confusion and inaccurate information around them. In this episode of Money Script Monday, Laurence puts the top annuity myths to rest to educate retirees on the impact that this financial vehicle can have on the success of their retirement.

We are so grateful and humbled by the efforts and contributions made on behalf of our donors, volunteers, and sponsors, who were instrumental in making this charitable event a resounding success.
