Virtual Mentor:
***This is your GO TO Resource!***
BOOKMARK the Virtual Mentor Website on your phone/laptop/iPad and use to see what Carrier/Product your Client will qualify for.
Step 1: Register
Click on “create account”> Choose “sales agent” under type of agent> Select your most direct Agency Manager/Owner (probably: Beth Maddox, Sarah/Mike Pappas, Jacob Peterson or Tom Chism)
Step 2: Text your Hiring Manager- Let them know you set up your account so it can be approved.
Step 3: Watch Tutorial Video
Step 4: USE THIS RESOURCE! 🙂
Virtual Mentor will take 95% of the guess work out of the underwriting qualification process!!
This said, NOTHING replaces calling a Carrier to do a Risk Assessment or Underwriting Questions (i.e. multiple high risk medications)
