2. Increased auto approval means more time to focus on your complex cases

   As the year draws to a close, we are pleased to reflect back on our many enhancements geared toward improving our auto-approval rates and the notable impact they have made on our service standards.
   
   Throughout 2021, we have invested significantly in our services and technology, including data & analytics to ensure that more of our new business applications are approved automatically without any intervention, leaving our teams available to engage in settling your complex cases. As a result of these enhancements, over the past 3 months we have improved from 8% of our new business flowing straight through to approval, to an impressive 25% of cases requiring no underwriting*. 
   
   There are a number of factors that contribute to this straight through approval success in processing applications, such as simpler cases, applicants with no medical history or medical issues, younger applicants and applications for lower face amounts. These factors, alongside our ongoing efforts to fortify our processes, has resulted in positive feedback from the field.
   
   Advisors have mentioned you’ve felt the impact on our speed and service, and we will continue forward into 2022 with this positive momentum, with further enhancements to help make it easier for you to do business with Equitable Life.

5. December 2022 eNews

   Update: EI Sickness Benefit Extension confirmed for Dec. 18, 2022*

   

   The federal government confirmed on Nov. 25, 2022, that it is extending the Employment Insurance (EI) Sickness Benefits period permanently from 15 weeks to 26 weeks. The change takes effect on Dec. 18, 2022.
    
   Equitable Life will not require or implement any changes to our disability plan designs based on this extension. However, plan sponsors may wish to amend their short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) plans and policies to align with the new 26-week EI period.
    
   If your clients choose to amend their plan design in response to this extension, we have created an overview of how amendments may affect common plan design scenarios. Click here to learn more.
   
   If you have any questions, please contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager.
    

   QDIPC updates terms and conditions for 2023*

6. How to talk to clients about CI when they don’t want to
   Does this sound familiar? 
   
   You’re having a chat with your client about Critical Illness insurance. They suddenly interject: “Critical illness insurance isn’t for me.”
   
   “Why is that?” you ask. 
   
   “Because….
   -  Critical Illness insurance is expensive!
   -  I don’t understand what it covers exactly.
   -  I have money to cover me if I get sick, so I don’t need this.
   -  I’m healthy enough.
   -  It’s not life insurance, so I don’t need it right now. 
   -  I already have disability coverage through my work.”
   
   If you’ve heard any of these responses, and didn’t know how to respond, we can help. 
   
   
   Our Path to Success program covers all these objections and more with simple-to-follow PDFs and videos. You’ll learn conversation strategies and tips on how to navigate the sale. Most importantly, you’ll know exactly what to say the next time a client objects to Critical Illness insurance.
