CPS New Generation Marketing Inc.
Wholesale Marketing Manager
Mission Hills, Ca.
I headed a National program I designed for The Forester's, a Canadian based International insurer with over 1500 agents worldwide. I designed & implemented an Impaired Risk Program for their agents to place high risk and declined cases in 22 states. I managed this program for a year and a few months until Bysis push them into a larger market contract and compensated my client's in ways I could not compete with.
After pre-underwriting 500+ case, reading 10,000's of pages of medical records and 1000's blood and other medical test results my experience was priceless. It is here I became familiar with the underwriting standards still used in the Life Insurance industry today.
I worked here for about 3 years assisting Agent's Brokers, Financial Advisor's by running different companies Illustrations. I was using both Win-flex and Pipelife to access multiple companies software. I have since mastered this art of running competitive quotes for many large players in our industry. Today in the Life Insurance business, many companies have nitches and soft spots and are better priced with different disease's and disorder's. I have learned to keep up with this in underwriting the business I still place today.
I am well versed and I have worked with Prudential, MetLife, Lincoln and Principal National as well as Protective Life, United of Omaha, Banner Life, AIG and Transamerica and Farmers Insurance, just to name a few.
