Winding down for the summer and ready to accept a slowdown in life insurance sales? Think again.<\/p>\n

Michael Aziz, co-president at Canada Protection Plan, told LHP that his firm\u2019s numbers have shown no sign of dipping despite the drowsy heat that\u2019s hit much of the country.<\/p>\n

Instead of writing the summer off, Aziz believes this is actually the perfect time for his team to approach advisors about life insurance, and for advisors to engage with clients.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cEverybody seems to slow down in the summer. People are thinking holidays; they aren\u2019t thinking about financial planning. You\u2019ve had Christmas, February is RRSP month, so it\u2019s a lull, which is the best time to approach clients and talk about their insurance needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are more receptive in the summer time to having discussions. It doesn\u2019t have to be sitting in the office, it can be outside, at a coffee shop, where a broker talks to a client and says, \u2018hey, let\u2019s review your needs\u2019. Everyone has downtime and it gives the advisor more time to get together with clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada Protection Plan is best known as a leader of No Medical and Simplified life insurance, although it recently launched Express Elite Term, a no-medical life insurance product. In 15 minutes or less, Canadians and newcomers with a work permit who are in excellent health and between the ages of 18-60 years can apply either by phone or online. Within a few days, they can receive coverage for up to $500,000 with no time-consuming medical exams required.<\/p>\n

Aziz said that while residents might be thinking vacation they are clearly still thinking about insurance and financial planning, and Canada Protection Plan has the products for them. For his team, therefore, this is the prime time to reach about to advisors and urge them into action.<\/p>\n

He added that the smart advisors are the ones reaching out to clients right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not going to reach someone in December because it\u2019s Christmas and they are running around getting their shopping, January the weather is not fun and February is RRSP month. There is nice weather in the summer, people relax and are open and you can have good dialogue with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think sometimes people have a block in their own mind. I think financial advisors may have a block and think it\u2019s summertime, people don\u2019t want to be bothered. Well, we aren\u2019t bothering people \u2013 we are helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n
