Selling Liferaft Step-by-Step

The easiest place to start selling Liferaft products is to your current book of business or your existing ACA/Healthcare book. This is where most of our most successful agents and agencies have started. 

Email Marketing

Using your current client list or existing ACA book, set up the email marketing campaign in the Liferaft Sales Kit, a sequence of emails introducing Liferaft and our products, including short videos and a call to action. This will set the stage for you to follow up more intently as your clients engage. 

Create a Quote

A client who engages with your emails or is an obvious fit as per “Liferaft Buyer” can be pre-quoted using Liferaft’s Quoting Tool. Liferaft’s Quoting Tool allows you to easily price out different policy options for your client and then jump straight into the application process, prefilled out with your client’s information and policy choices. In the Quoting Tool, you will find pre-determined bundles that are selected to fit the ideal Liferaft buyer. Explore our Agent Resource about Leveraging the Quoting Tool for detailed guidance.

Call your client

A phone call is sometimes the extra push that a client needs to engage with you during the sales process. You can reach out to them, sending them a link to review their personalized Liferaft quote and using the conversation starters detailed below to help seal the deal.

A Successful Pitch

Positioning Liferaft is the key to clients understanding the value of the products. 

  • Start by going over your client's Major Medical plan, highlighting their deductible and “maximum out-of-pocket” and what they actually mean. You can use the real-life examples in Liferaft’s Quoting Tool to help illustrate how each product can protect their finances in various scenarios.    
  • Explain how they can protect their maximum out-of-pocket exposure with Liferaft, the most cost-effective solution on the market. It is more advantageous to pair Liferaft with their Major Medical plan for as little as $5-20/per month, than use savings to cover their maximum out-of-pocket liability. 
  • Highlight how easy enrollment is, with no tricky questions or invasive health questionnaires. Simple, guaranteed issue and they get the policy right away.
