NAILBA Perspectives - October 2016 - 34

life happens Snead family and agent Wallene Leek (center) Taking the Easy Way Out is Just Fine Did you know that 78% of Americans had a social network profile in 2016, according to statista.com? That's up from just 24% in 2008. Whether you love it or hate it, social media is a force to be reckoned with and should become a part of a producer's marketing arsenal. An easy, and free, way to get great social media content is to follow Life Happens' social media properties. When producers see content they like (always third-party and neutral) they can simply share or retweet, adding their own message if they choose. To access all links in one place- including Instagram-go to www.lifehappens.org/socialmedia. 34 perspectives OCTOBER 2016 in this industry. Life insurance is all about protecting families and businesses, and the best way to convey the power of what it does (not just what it is) is through a true story. I think this is what Life Happens does best: tell stories through its Real Life Stories program. Each year it introduces four new stories. This year, one of the stories features the living benefits of life insurance. Kelley and Doak Snead have used the proceeds of Kelley's accelerated death benefit to help her and the family as she battles end-stage Parkinson's disease. Watch the story at www.lifehappens.org/snead, and then share with producers so they can educate clients and prospects about how you don't have to die to benefit from life insurance. Again, the Sneads' story is just one of dozens of Real Life Stories that producers can share. If you or they access it through the Life Happens Pro platform, you can use a refined search function to find a story that relates to just about any type of client situation, from a young married couple expecting their first child to keyperson life insurance in a small business. Plus, the benefit of signing up for the Life Happens Pro service is that you (and the producers you work with) can embed these videos on your website, giving you access to high-production value videos at a fraction of the cost. I encourage you to check it out at www.lifehappenspro.org. Remember, there is a free 30-day trial, and a discount for being a NAILBA member (use code NAILBA29 for the monthly subscription and NAILBA299 for the yearly). I'd love to hear the ideas you have for ending the year strong. Cliff F. Wilson, CLU, ChFC, CLF, LUTCF, is the current chair of Life Happens, and is a past president of NAIFA. http://www.lifehappenspro.org http://www.lifehappenspro.org http://www.statista.com http://www.lifehappens.org/snead http://www.lifehappens.org/socialmedia
