Life Insurance Sales Are Looking Up

A pleasantly surprising fact: life insurance sales went up 7% in this year’s second quarter! A welcome increase, since sales have not been looking good the past few years.One of the main reasons for this rising trend? Whole life policies have increased 23% in the second quarter.

Among the sales that increased: whole life (which has gone up 19% since the first half of 2009), universal life (with a 13% increase in sales for the first half of 2010) and non-guaranteed universal life (up 26% from the first half of 2009).

Clearly people see the value in protecting family, even in these tough economic times. This is wonderful news…for independent life insurance agents like us, and families across the country!
