Chapter Meeting Topics & Speakers
Part I - Insurance Insiders: What Most Insurance Agents Don't Want You to Know
Ben Rainey & Tom O'Brien, ChFC I WealthPoint
1 CFP, CPA, CIMA, TDI CE

In our discussion, we aim to equip you to be the most effective “watchdog” for your clients when dealing with life insurance - whether helping them as they evaluate existing insurance or as they contemplate the purchase of new insurance. We’ll pull back the curtain on the industry and cover topics that you’ve likely never heard about but can make millions of dollars of difference in your clients’ outcomes.
Topics will include
- Various “red flags” to be aware of when dealing with life insurance products and agents
- Transparency in compensation
- Impact of Blending (reducing life insurance compensation)
- Institutional and “fee-only” products
- Proper product comparison and discussion of product assumptions
- Formal vs Informal Underwriting and what is critical to getting the best offer
- Policy Reviews and Market Studies: how frequently should these be done and what information should be included every time
While insurance can often be a dry subject even in the best of times, we’ll make this a lively and interactive discussion for all who attend. We hope you’ll join us!

The second section will explain real estate note investing, the benefits and risks, how you can offer value to your clients, along with the process and due diligence considerations. It will conclude with who are the right types of clients for this investment, followed by Q&A.
