Stage 2: Quoting Life Insurance Products
First, let's reveal the truth about what is an insurance quote:
An insurance quote is a projected cost for a policy based on initial information; and
An insurance quote is strictly non-binding; and
The final premium of an insurance quote may adjust once the insurer fully reviews and processes your completed application through their underwriting process.
In other words, an insurance quote functions much like a skilled contractor's estimate. While this is a simplified overview of insurance quotes, it highlights why a quote is a starting point rather than a final contract in the life insurance industry.
Instead of focusing on prices and quotes, Consumers should first focus on how their financial gaps can be covered by a life insurance policy. At Stage 4, is when you, the customer, should do a cost-benefit analysis on the life insurance policy because that is when you will know the actual price. If you are unhappy with the policy or price, a good time to cancel a life insurance policy is during the moment of policy delivery as well as the free look period.
