Sell a Life Policy in 10 Minutes, No Kidding |

We understand that your business may not revolve around life insurance. In fact, many of our agents and advisors sell only three or four policies a year. But consider this: The average commission for a Symetra Life policy sale is $509 - almost double the average commission for an auto policy sale.1
What if we could show you how to turn life insurance into your agency's new cash flow? Not only that, we can show you how to close a life sale in a fraction of the time it takes to sell an auto policy, and without adding to staff or diverting other agency resources.

Not Just Fast, Simple
We've made selling life insurance so simple, so intuitive, that even your grandma could go online to get a quote, fill out an application, and deliver a certificate of temporary insurance in less than 10 minutes. We wouldn't ask her to, but she could.
At Symetra Life, we challenged ourselves to build a sales tool that every agent and advisor would love - old pros, occasional dabblers and even newbies. Symetra Express has:
- No lengthy forms. Answer five simple questions and then click "quote."
- No guessing. Click the "estimate rate class" button for extra guidance on picking the right rate class.
- No fumbling for forms. Everything you need is online.
- No medical training required. Ask only two basic questions and we'll ask the rest, and order the exam!
- No checks to collect. Simply complete the electronic funds transfer (EFT), credit card or debit card authorizations included as a part of the process.
After you have the quote, you can hit the "apply" button. The information you've already entered automatically populates the application, and you're on your way to completing the sale. Best of all, if your client authorizes payment for the first month's premium the sale will probably stick. That's because you've sent your qualified2 client home with a certificate of temporary insurance — with coverage of up to $250,000.
If your client isn't ready to commit, or if they want to see something in writing, the information used to create the quote can also be used to automatically populate an illustration. This professional-looking document features your client's name and personalized life insurance quote, along with your name and contact information - all in a tidy little package. Simply hand off a print copy to your client, pop it in the mail, or attach it as a document in an e-mail.
Leads, Leads, Leads
Couple Symetra Express with our brand new "Awareness Through Marketing (ATM)" program and selling life insurance becomes an effortless, hassle-free money maker for your business.
When you sign up for ATM, we automatically mail out a life insurance brochure and cover letter on your behalf every other month for eight months. It's a consistent and cost-effective way to continually prospect within your current client base. One key advantage is that there are no solicitation calls to make and no reply cards to follow up on - clients call you.
You can give Symetra Express a try right now. Or, if you'd like to talk with someone about Symetra Express or ATM, please contact the Sales Center at invest@symetra.com or 1-800-706-0700.
