For Group Life clients, Gen Re offers a unique, proprietary approach to limited duration underwriting for Group EOI that allows offers on risks often declined by group carriers.
At a time of rapidly evolving underwriting approaches, uncertainty about future morbidity and mortality improvement, and increased insurer focus on client engagement, Behavioral Economics training is being made available to Gen Re clients at an important industry inflection point.
The Gen Re BE Academy, developed in relationship with Suffolk University professors, is designed to help our clients’ staff learn how small changes can make a big difference.
Insurers are pulled in many directions, having to embrace innovative underwriting tools and approaches while evolving away from full underwriting. Many companies don’t have the time or resources to investigate all the latest data and technology options to see which is right for them. With so many new alternatives on the market and the fast-changing pace, it’s hard to know where to start. We can help.
The Gen Re underwriting manuals provide our clients with reliable, up-to-date information to assess risks effectively. Creating and maintaining the manuals are a team of experts dedicated to constantly improving and further developing underwriting guidelines.
The Gen Re Financial Guide is a reference tool designed to assist with the financial underwriting process and includes key tax forms and schedules with important information highlighted and discussed.
Our traditional facultative and proprietary underwriting programs are meant to increase producer retention and reduce unplaced business.
Book more business with a unique life insurance sales opportunity to place cases you are losing. With 2nd Look, you can make an offer on cases that would otherwise be retired incomplete or postponed.
