TMK SERVICE before SELF in everything you do - place company interests and customer interests above personal gain or preferences. Core Beliefs
TMK INTEGRITY in EVERYTHING you do – make sure you allow no “traps” of improper business activities, systems or practices to develop, in order you ensure ethical achievement has no alternatives (no short cuts). No leader – REGARDLESS OF POSITION – can be allowed to claim “I didn’t know” – it is your JOB to KNOW and all must be held accountable for any ethical lapses or execution gaps in your organization. Core Beliefs
TMK EXCELLENCE in EVERYTHING You Do - with clear expectations and consequences for you and of those who report to you (both positive and negative). One without the other won’t work. Core Beliefs

TMK You sell that $100,000 Term Life policy on Friday. Customer dies five days later. If the premium has been paid and all underwriting requirements have been met, what is the death benefit that would be payable? Product Training
TMK If as much as one monthly premium is collected or bank draft authorization is executed, the amount of the collection or draft should be entered on the application, and the signed Receipt should be given to the applicant. The Conditional Receipt will then be binding on the Company subject to the terms and conditions of that Receipt. Conditional Receipt
TMK If no premium is collected and a bank draft authorization (Form R-3616, Authorization for Preauthorized Payments) is not executed when the application form is completed, the Conditional Receipt must be left attached to the application form. The A-250 conditional receipt states that “NO COVERAGE WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE PRIOR TO POLICY DELIVERY UNLESS AND UNTIL ALL CONDITIONS OF THE RECEIPT ARE MET.” Conditional Receipt
TMK In order for coverage to be provided under the conditional receipt the following conditions must be met: 1. The applicant must submit an initial premium payment equal to the first full premium or bank draft authorization. 2. All underwriting requirements must be completed (blood, urine, etc.) 3. The insured is an acceptable risk for the plan applied for on the later of the date of application or the date on which all of the Company’s underwriting requirements are satisfied. Conditional Receipt
TMK For example, if a proposed insured was killed in an automobile accident prior to all of the underwriting requirements being met, the claim would not be paid. To prevent misunderstandings in connection with applications to the Company for large amounts of insurance, the following limitations and instructions apply. The A-250 application contains a Conditional Receipt which limits the maximum amount of insurance which may become effective under such Conditional Receipt to $50,000 including accidental death benefits. All of the conditions and limits expressed in the Conditional Receipt must be complied with. While these limitations are expressly set out in the Conditional Receipt and are not changed in any way, these additional instructions and limitations must be followed to prevent any possible misunderstanding. Conditional Receipt
TMK What about Worksite? Coverage effective at time of signature for the amount ultimately issued Cancer: 30-day waiting period for coverage begins at time of application Product Training

TMK It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming Teddy Roosevelt, 1910
TMK But who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Teddy Roosevelt, 1910
