The U.S. insurance division of ING recently unveiled a new mobile tool for life insurance agents, which uses time saving illustration techniques.
ING Life Companies' New Life Illustration Express Mobile app provides agents with instant access for comparing premiums of multiple life insurance products, as well as the ability to run illustrations straight from their smart phone or other mobile device.
"With more mobile devices in the U.S. today than people, it's important to keep pace with the evolving communications landscape and develop ways that make it easier to do business," said Kurt Fasen, senior vice president of ING Insurance Sales Support. "Agents are constantly on the go and they need to be able to access and distribute information quickly."
This improved access for agents will translate to better service for consumers who are looking to obtain an affordable and effective life insurance policy. Those who have dependents are strongly encouraged to purchase some form of life coverage to take care of funeral arrangements, rough annual living expenses and future expenditures such as a child's college tuition payments.
