  4. Today’s Economy Your Clients Have Questions: • Willthe economy improve? • Whenwill the economy improve? • When will my personalfinancial situation (cash flow) improve? • What will be left of my “Retirement Nest Egg?”

  5. Today’s Economy What We DO Know • Each year more Baby Boomers will have an “LTC Experience” with a parent or relative • You will be one year older in 2012 than you are in 2011 • At some point in the (near? far?) future you will have more health issues than you do today

  6. What Are Your Clients Willing to Do? • Transfer risk of LTC expenses to an insurance company – rather than rely on their own (uncertain) assets & income to pay for LTC • Lock in health/insurability and issue age premium rates TODAY • Keep today’s premiums affordable (cash flow) • Preserve Lifestyle and Assets • Have options for future benefit increases when the client knowswhat their personal financial situation is

  7. When to Use GPO • GPO can provide meaningful protection which will provide clients with a lower initial premium • Consider GPO for clients: • Who have a temporary cash flow problem and you want to lock-in their insurability • Who are older, and traditional compound insurance is unaffordable • Who are younger professionals where income will increase later on in years Sales Tip: Increase daily benefit & add GPO

  8. The Magic of Prudential GPO • Affordable premiums during working years • Getting the best classification clients will ever get and keeping the best classification they will ever get • GPO offers occur even while on claim/premium waiver • Prior offer declines do not affect future offers • GPO offers are calculated on a 5% Compound Basis • Meaningful benefit for a manageable premium from the beginning • Ideal if there is a pre-retirement LTC event that extends into retirement years Eligibility – Availability – Affordability
