Edge Benefits Inc. trending toward a 16% increase for 2014.

 
As we head into the final weeks of 2014, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on an outstanding year and send a note to say thank you for your loyalty and support.

We could not have done it without you, and as we head into the Holiday Season, I’d like to pass along a personal wish from our family to yours for a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

This year, not only did we exceed our sales expectations, but with your help, we also achieved a very important milestone in providing over $100 Million in Benefits to our Policyholders over the last 10 years.

We are very excited about what we have accomplished together in the marketplace which solidifies our position as Canada’s Lifestyle Protection Company.

We are also pleased to announce that we have exceeded our Electronic Application objectives for 2014 with a 60% participation rate across all of our business. This is clearly industry leading, and has had a significant improvement in the time service we provide to our mutual clients. Stay tuned for further enhancements including enabling you to use the software with your clients remotely.

2015 is going to be an exciting one for us as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary, with a renewed focus on Disability Income, the product that has been the core of our success, and one that plays a critical role in providing financial security to Canadians. Looking after this need is not only critical, but it is also an opportunity for you to significantly enhance your retirement income.

We have also just launched the new Conference Qualification period for our 2016 Family Conference at The Hard Rock Resort and Spa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  Once again we’ve kept the criteria reasonable at top 10 or to guarantee a spot, write $100,000 of premium credits.

 
Our 2015 Incentives include:

• January Fast Start Contest which pays out something for everyone who does over $4,000 in premium in the month to a maximum payout of $5,000.
• Leader Bonus Pool for 2015 is scheduled to payout $300,000 with individual payouts ranging from $2,400 to $22,500 each.
• We’re also pleased to announce that we will be continuing our Advisor Growth Bonus offering $50,000, to those who qualify for the Leader Bonus Pool and have $100,000 of premium in force. Speak with your Sales Consultant to find out more.

We very much appreciate your business and your support. We understand that you have choices in the marketplace and you have my commitment that we’ll continue to do what it takes to earn your trust and your business over the years ahead.
