23 For Producer use only. Not for use with clients. how to join the cause Ask your personal clients or employer clients about their disability plans If personal clients, ask “how would you pay your bills if your paycheck stopped?” If they say they “have it at work,” ask them to get you a copy of their plan.

If they say they don’t, ask them “how they have dealt or will deal with the disability of an employee.” If they have paid a disabled employee, ask them if they at least have a Salary Continuation Plan.
