Saul Korman, of blessed memory, was an AMAZING man

Back in 2005, when I was about to launch www.illnessPROTECTION.com, I sought some sage advice from Saul Korman, of blessed memory, who sadly passed away last week at the age of 86.

He was a legendary fashion retailer, an undisputed radio advertising icon, and goodwill ambassador for St. Maarten.

I actually cold-called Saul to get his opinion on whether to use radio advertising in a way that hadn’t been done before – to sell Critical Illness Insurance and Life Insurance.

Most people told me it was a crazy idea that wouldn't work.

But Saul said it was a great idea. So I took his advice to go on the air March 5, 2005, and thank G-d haven’t looked back since.

Saul was an amazing mensch, a super smart marketer and could ad lib a commercial like no one else.

2021 Resolutions - Must Do's

August 31, 2017

Premiums jump in 3 weeks

Estimated reading time: 35 seconds.

Hope you are well and enjoying the final days of summer. 

I am writing to let you know that Manulife announced a major premium increase (of up to 50% on certain policies) for permanent level cost (universal) life insurance effective Sept 23rd, just weeks from now.  Other carriers will surely follow. 

Considering the draconian tax law changes now under review by the government, permanent life insurance will become even more important as the most cost-effective way to pay higher taxes. 

This matter deserves your immediate attention, especially if you have a rated policy due to existing health issues or have become uninsurable since taking out your existing term policy. 

Your term insurance started off at a reasonable cost, but premiums will continue to rise sharply at each renewal and the policy will become cost-prohibitive and eventually expire.

Fearing the future

Estimated reading time: 40 seconds

According to a survey by Market Probe Canada, 82% of Canadians are concerned that the cost of long term care will significantly reduce their retirement income and assets, and more than half are afraid of becoming a burden to their family.

To make matters worse, they don't have a great deal of confidence in the government's ability to help them if they need long term care in the future. (Can’t say I blame them - read this)
