Customer Reviews

You'd Be Surprised

If you have ever wondered about life insurance and all of the goods and bads about it, this is most difintely the book for you to get. You'd be surprised as to who recommended me this book. My RVP. And what is it that i do. I help people figure out if their life insurance is actually the one for them, if not, I find something better for them perhaps. This book was one of the required materials for all interns to read and follow by. By all means, not all insurance salesmen, and woman, fear this book, some actually live and sell by it. Overall, it's a great book. It opens your eyes to the reality of the insurance business!

The BIBLE of Life Insurance Product Knowledge

For anyone concerned about the vast array of life insurance products, Dacey is right on target about the way cash value and term life insurances work. His analyses are timeless, because the products are constructed the same today as when he originally wrote the book. "There is nothing new under the sun . . . ." Despite the ever-changing assortment of "titles" the cash value industry puts on its policies, the fundamentals are the same, always have been, always will be: as you get older, the risk of dying and the cost of insurance increases; if you don't increase the premium with time, or create the correct level premium from day one, the product is most likely to collapse at some point in the future when you can least afford that event (AKA: Universal Life -- see the "guaranteed" column in your policy's illustration pages, not the "based on current assumptions" column), because "current assumptions" that create initial premiums are artificial -- there can be no guarantee that they will remain the same into the future (and most never do). Buy AND READ this book--all of it!!--to get a thorough working knowledge of the industry, its products, and understand your true need for INCOME PROTECTION, not LIFE INSURANCE that your cash value life agent wants to sell you. Do business with someone who also understands and believes in Dacey's "buy term and invest the difference" concept. They're out there!!

A MUST READ for anyone who's planning to buy life insurance!

This text smashes the myths put forth by the big life insurance companies about how life insurance REALLY works! If you are planning on protecting your family's well being through the purchase of a life insurance policy, READ THIS BOOK FIRST! If you already OWN a life insurance policy, this text will REALLY open your eyes. (not to mention, probably get you VERY angry!) You will save yourself a LOT more then the purchase price of this book. I guarantee it!

Incredible Statics of How "MOST" Ins. Cos. Rape the Consumer

This book should be MUST reading by anyone who is considering entering the field of Insurance and a career. Jim F. Lexington, KY

great!

The only people who won't like this book are cash value life insurance agents. Why would any right-minded customer dissapprove of a book dedicated to entertainingly informing them of how much "cash value" life insurance policies are probably the dumbest thing they could buy.
