Compliance and Financial Literacy A Word From Compliance Building your business is an exciting endeavor. The path to success is full of challenges and commitment and hard work will ultimately lead to fulfilling your goals. Being knowledgeable about compliance policies as they apply to our company and the industry is essential for the long-term success of UWE. Key points of compliance observance are: Accurate Representation: This means making sure social media posts accurately represent the business opportunity and the products. Providing clear and accurate information about the products and income potential is of utmost importance. Knowledge of Policy: Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines found in your Back Office under the compliance tab. There you will find detailed information about the do’s and do nots of compliance. We encourage you to contact Agent Support with any questions. You can reach out to our Compliance manager Robert via email: robertf@myuwe.net
Utilizing the Financial Literacy Quiz Have you ever struggled with where to start explaining the value of the Protection Plan to your prospects? With all the Protection Plan offers, it can be challenging to decide where to begin telling people how essential our services are and why they need them. The Financial Literacy Quiz is a great way to introduce the Protection Plan because it does the work for you. The Quiz evaluates your prospects’ current situation through a series of questions about their finances and their feelings about where they are. The questions zero in on credit score, savings, budget planning, life insurance and other important things everyone should consider. Leveraging this tool makes people realize they may be lacking the things they need to secure their future and protect their families, giving you the opportunity to start a conversation about the value the Protection Plan offers. You can find the Financial Literacy Quiz in your Back Office under the Marketing tab by clicking on Flyers. It’s the top right document. Print a few copies and present it at your next appointment and see what happens!
