The One Minute Exercise Warning
This exercise routine is designed to be habit forming.

How does this help
Sun Life Financial
?

The Advisor’s biggest problems:
Having the motivation to make
the call and win the meeting
&
Overcoming the under-appreciation
of the value of their service

Other Advisor’s problems:
1.Qualify the prospect
2.Find the need
3.Show the value of planning
4.Move prospect to action

A new idea to help the Advisor:
Start by giving instead of taking.
Giving prospects the gift of
planning on another level by
helping them understand that
people with plans worry less and
save more.

By providing Advisors a calendar
that they can use in the field to
explain the value of building a
plan today.
Why today?
Because if you knew the future
you wouldn’t need insurance.

Situation
The world and how we work has changed. The new
technologies offer us the ability to reduce costs and
increase productivity but at a high price to our well-being.
Life is becoming more stressful.
We are more sedentary, often sitting more than 8 hr a day.
It is difficult to find ‘time’ for ourselves and our families.

Problems
Procrastination: no time for exercise, too busy,
programs and health clubs too expensive, lack of
motivation.
Anxiety and Stress: People often turn to food, alcohol,
drugs, and other destructive ways to deal with their
anxiety and stress.
Obesity, heart disease and stress related illnesses are
at record highs, as are the costs to society.

Earning the right to have your message on a
client's wall, desk, or phone for a whole year is
incredibly valuable in building goodwill, trust,
and confidence in Sun LIfe's advisors.

The DESKercise calendar / program
is a user-friendly, high-touch, low-tech
way for advisors to engage and qualify
prospects in a conversation about
financial planning.

It's an Employment Benefit Package:
* Increase productivity and sales
* Better demonstrate the value of insurance
* Attract and retain the best advisors
* Enhance customer relationships
* Goodwill associated with the brand
* Reduce health problems

How will this help the Advisors:
* Better way to qualify and engage prospects
* Overcome call resistance
* Enhance their prospecting and qualifying skills
* Give the gift of a plan to achieve “Money for Life”®

When is the best time
to buy insurance?
When you can.

The DESKercise calendar, screensaver,
"exercise prescription notepads", and mobile apps
will provide a sense of planning, so that prospects
can plan their life and live their plan to achieve their
goal of financial independence.

Is there a value in having a healthy
customer, and a more productive
and successful advisor?
What is this value worth?
