Five Ways To Benefit From Disability Insurance Awareness Month

Once again, The Standard is proud to sponsor Disability Insurance Awareness Month (DIAM) this May to promote the need for disability insurance. The LIFE Foundation helps get DI in the news — and offers great tools you can use with your clients, including promotional pieces, videos, interactive calculators and more. To get started, visit the agent section of www.lifehappens.org.

These five strategies can help you take advantage of DIAM's potential:

  • Reach out to current customers and show the need for disability insurance or increased coverage
  • Approach new prospects while DI is in the news and top of mind
  • Position yourself as a DI expert by offering a free workshop or webinar — and promote it to local media
  • Cross-sell to business owners about the need for business equity buy/sell funding insurance and overhead expense protection
  • Promote DIAM on your social media networks, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter
