Our process

What it's like to work with us.

Five steps. Education-first. No pressure. Most clients tell us this looks nothing like what they expected from an insurance conversation.

Step 1

Discovery Call (Free, 30 min)

We listen. We ask about your stage, your goals, and what's already in place. We don't pitch products on the first call.

What you'll need

Your time. A general sense of your situation.

What we'll do

Listen, take notes, identify what we'd want to dig into next.

Typical timeframe

30 minutes

Step 2

Comprehensive Review

Together we gather the full picture — income, assets, debts, family structure, taxes, existing coverage. We share a secure document portal; nothing leaves your environment without consent.

What you'll need

Recent statements (insurance, retirement accounts, brokerage), tax returns, will/trust docs if relevant.

What we'll do

Build a clean, single-page snapshot of where you stand.

Typical timeframe

1–2 weeks

Step 3

Custom Strategy Built

We design a layered plan across Protect / Accumulate / Distribute / Transfer. We compare 2–3 carriers per product. We share a written plan you keep.

What you'll need

An open mind and 60 minutes for the presentation.

What we'll do

Build the plan; compare carriers; quantify trade-offs.

Typical timeframe

1–2 weeks

Step 4

Implementation

We coordinate underwriting, applications, medical exams, and policy delivery. We handle the paperwork. We brief you at each milestone.

What you'll need

Signatures, a 30-minute medical exam if required.

What we'll do

Application prep, carrier coordination, delivery review.

Typical timeframe

4–8 weeks depending on underwriting

Step 5

Annual Review & Adjustments

Life changes — kids, income, business, tax law — and so does the plan. Every year we review, adjust, and document. You always know where you stand.

What you'll need

An hour each year.

What we'll do

Send the review pack, walk through any changes, file updated docs.

Typical timeframe

60 minutes per year

What to expect from us

Independence

We compare carriers head-to-head. No carrier quotas, no preferred partners with hidden agendas.

Education-first

If we can't explain it in 90 seconds, you shouldn't buy it.

Multi-carrier comparison

Every recommendation includes a written carrier-comparison summary.

Long-term partnership

Annual reviews are non-negotiable. Plans don't survive without them.

What we'll never do

Pressure-sell

No artificial deadlines, no fear-based pitches, no 'today only' nonsense.

One-size-fits-all

We don't believe in templates. Your plan is built for your situation.

Lock you in inappropriately

Permanent products require a real fit. If term is right, we'll say so.
