A Few Design Elements
VUL vs EIUL vs WL
In order of riskVUL – Popular solution, full impact of market performance, opportunity for greatest return, investment diversification, flexible and transparent.
EIUL – New product, market participation up to cap, currently in 11% range, worst year is 0%, back-testing reveals 7% expectation, risk of future cap rates, withdrawals protected, flexible, a little complicated.
WL – Most conservative and most predictable, less flexibility, floating rate loans, not transparent – 10 pay is best! – Offers non-correlation alternative.
Financial Comparison
Account Value age 65
VUL, 7% return $971,208
EIUL, 6% return $975,068

Introduction Conversation
John, I know how you feel about income taxes, and with the recent tax changes your load is now heavier. With that in mind I want to share a strategy with you that gives you the opportunity to set money aside each year, earn market type returns without taxes on that growth and then when you are ready to spend it – it gets distributed to you income tax-free. So the money you put into this – when designed properly - will NEVER be taxed again – in its growth or the distributions. This could have a very positive impact on your ability to have the type of lifestyle you want during your retirement. We need to get together and review this in person. What is the best day this week or next to visit for an hour?
Client Objection
I have always heard that mixing investing and life insurance doesn’t work. Why not just do term and invest the difference? I already have all the life insurance I need.
Response: John, that is a good question. The reason for bringing this up is that I am more concerned about the results and not so much on how a solution is packaged. And what I mean by that is, for any solution I recommend for you, I focus primarily on what it does, not so much on what it is. What this “does” is that this gives you a way to maximize you future spendable dollars by making that money bullet proof from the IRS. It also compliments the other things you have in place to give you diversity of your future tax obligations – just like we diversify your investments. Buy the difference doesn’t take taxes into consideration – I have and this does and the net result is more spendable dollars for you. It’s not what you make – its what you keep that matters most. I can even show you the math to confirm this works. Let me ask you … when you are depending on your assets to provide your lifestyle instead of a paycheck – what would be the benefit of you having tax-free non-reportable income to spend and to have flexibility and diversity with your future income tax obligations?

Key Factors to Success
You gotta believe in it! Connect to the value, what it does is much more important than
what it is.
Understand what is most important to your client Eliminating taxes, flexibility, guarantees, risk profile …
accomplished through good discovery.
The initial discussion MUST be about the benefit and not what it is. Doing this will prevent the clients’ own unchecked biases and misinformation to get in the way of what could be best for them. If they are existing clients we can do the math ahead of time to confirm it does make sense for them before you even engage them.
CORE can provide analytics to define the value of the strategy
