合规手册:哪些话不能说,哪些事不能做

The Compliance Handbook: What Not to Say, and What Not to Do

一篇讲全:团队里常见的那十几句不能说的话和替代说法,PFA 合规手册(Build It Right with Compliance, Ethics and Protocols) 和国家人寿合规手册(SALE)里跟日常工作直接相关的规定。前半篇管嘴:话怎么说;后半篇管手:客户怎么见、单子怎么签、钱怎么收、 东西能不能发、团队怎么带、出了事怎么办。违反这些不是「风格问题」,后果是罚款、降级、追回佣金,或者被终止合约。

Everything in one place: the dozen or so lines common in the team that can't be said, with what to say instead, and the parts of PFA's compliance manual (Build It Right with Compliance, Ethics and Protocols) and National Life's SALE manual that touch daily work. The first half covers your words; the second covers your actions: meeting clients, signing cases, taking money, what you may post, running a team, and what to do when something goes wrong. Breaking these isn't a matter of style: the consequences are fines, demotion, chargebacks or termination.

合规手册Compliance Handbook

Presented by Team Rise

各位伙伴好。今天这一课讲合规。很多人一听「合规」两个字就觉得是条条框框,是总部要我们背的东西。 我想先换个说法:合规讲的是怎么保护你自己的执照、保护你的客户、保护你辛苦签下来的每一张单。 这三样东西,任何一样出了问题,后面做多少业绩都补不回来。

Hello, everyone. Today's session is compliance. A lot of people hear that word and think of rules head office wants us to memorise. Let me put it differently: compliance is how you protect your licence, your clients, and every case you worked hard to sign. If any one of those three goes wrong, no amount of production afterwards will make it back.

这份手册把三样东西合在了一起:第一,团队里常听到的那十几句话,哪些不能说、换成什么说法; 第二,PFA 的合规手册,英文叫 Build It Right with Compliance, Ethics and Protocols; 第三,国家人寿的寿险与年金合规手册,名字叫 SALE,意思是 Selling Appropriately, Legally, Ethically,合适地、合法地、合乎道德地销售。 两本手册都很厚,我们只挑跟每天工作直接相关的部分。

This handbook brings three things together. First, the dozen or so lines you hear around the team: which ones can't be said, and what to say instead. Second, PFA's compliance manual, Build It Right with Compliance, Ethics and Protocols. Third, National Life's life and annuity compliance manual, called SALE: Selling Appropriately, Legally, Ethically. Both manuals are thick; we only take the parts that touch your daily work.

整堂课分两半。前一半管嘴:话怎么说才准确。后一半管手:客户怎么见、申请怎么签、保费怎么收、东西能不能发、团队怎么带、出了事怎么办。 幻灯片是浓缩版,每一页下面的讲解和页面下方的全文是完整版,回去以后遇到具体情况,以全文和公司当期手册为准。

The session has two halves. The first half is about your words: saying things accurately. The second is about your actions: meeting clients, signing applications, taking premium, what you may post, running a team, and what to do when something goes wrong. The slides are the condensed version; the notes under each slide and the full article below are the complete one. When a real case comes up, go by the full article and the carrier's current manual.

开场请大家想一想:你入行以来听过的、觉得「好像不太对」的一句话是什么?不用说出来是谁讲的,写在纸上,课程结束前我们回头对一对。

Open by asking everyone to think of one line they've heard since joining that felt slightly off. No names; write it down, and we'll come back to it before the end.

为什么要守这些规矩Why These Rules Matter

代价不对称Costs aren't symmetric

说准确了,最多慢几天;说错一句,可能撤单、追回佣金、暂停执照Accurate costs a few days at most; one wrong line can cost the policy, the commission, the licence

留痕比你想的多It's all on record

微信记录、朋友圈截图、讲座录像、群里转发的图,都是证据WeChat threads, screenshots, recordings, forwarded images: all evidence

加州对 60 岁以上更严California is stricter above 60

不准说「保证回报」「无风险」,不准贬低同业No "guaranteed return" or "no risk", no disparaging other carriers

黄金法则:如果你是客户,你希望经纪人这样对你吗?The Golden Rule: would you want to be treated this way as the client?

为什么要专门花一堂课讲这个?先说一句最重要的:监管看的不是你的动机,是你说出口的那句话。 我们团队里流传的很多说法,讲的人是真心相信的,这些话大多是 2023、2024 年整个行业都这么讲的时候传下来的。 但是动机好,不等于话说得对。

Why give a whole session to this? The single most important point: the regulator doesn't weigh your intentions. It reads the sentence you said. Many of the lines going around the team are said in good faith; most took hold in 2023 and 2024, when the whole industry talked that way. But good intentions don't make a sentence accurate.

看左边:代价不对称。你把话说准确一点,最坏的结果是这一单慢几天,客户多想一想。你说错一句,结果可能是保单被撤销、佣金被追回、执照被暂停。 一句话换一张执照,这笔账怎么算都不划算。

On the left: the costs aren't symmetric. Say it accurately, and the worst case is that this case takes a few more days while the client thinks it over. Say it wrongly, and you can lose the policy, have the commission charged back, and have your licence suspended. One sentence against your licence is never a good trade.

中间:留痕比你想的多。微信聊天记录、朋友圈截图、讲座录像、小红书帖子、群里转发的一张图,全都是证据。 客户几年后觉得不对劲去投诉,翻出来的就是这些。口头说的会被记错,写下来的会被原样引用。

In the middle: more is on the record than you think. WeChat threads, screenshots of Moments, seminar recordings, a RedNote post, an image forwarded to a group: all of it is evidence. When a client feels wronged years later and complains, this is what gets pulled out. Spoken words get misremembered; written words get quoted exactly.

右边:加州对 60 岁以上的客户更严。法律明文禁止对他们用「保证回报」「无风险」这类字眼,也禁止贬低同业。 年金卖给 65 岁以上而没做适合性评估的,交易可能被直接宣告无效。我们的客户里长辈很多,这一条要特别记住。

On the right: California is stricter for clients aged 60 and over. The law expressly bans phrases like "guaranteed return" and "no risk" with them, and bans disparaging other carriers. An annuity sold to someone over 65 without a suitability review can be declared void outright. Many of our clients are older, so remember this one.

最下面这句,是两本手册共同的检验标准,黄金法则:如果你是客户,你会希望经纪人这样对你吗? 拿不准的时候再多问自己几句:合法吗?合乎道德吗?会伤害客户吗?敢不敢讲给家人或媒体听?我能为此负责吗? 违规的后果从再培训、警告、罚款,一直到降级、追回佣金和终止合约。

The line at the bottom is the test both manuals use, the Golden Rule: would you want to be treated this way as the client? When unsure, ask a few more: is it legal? Ethical? Could it hurt the client? Would I be comfortable telling my family or a reporter? Can I be accountable for it? Consequences range from retraining, warnings and fines up to demotion, chargebacks and termination.

讲师提醒Presenter's note

这一页的语气是「保护自己」,不是「谁做错了」。不要点任何人的名字,也不要说某位伙伴说过哪句话。

Keep the tone on protecting yourself, not on who got it wrong. Don't name anyone or attribute any line to a particular partner.

节奏提示Pacing

一次讲完约 90 分钟。时间不够可以分两次:第一次讲第一、二部分(第 4–17 页),第二次讲第三到第六部分。

The full session runs about 90 minutes. If time is short, split it: parts one and two (slides 4–17) first, parts three to six the next time.

最常见的十二句(一)The Twelve That Recur (1)

不要这样说Don't say可以这样说Say instead
「6–7% 平均保底年回报率」"A guaranteed 6–7% average return"下跌的年份计 0%,不往下扣;长期平均看指数和上限A down year is credited 0%, not a loss; the long-run average depends on the index and cap
「保本投资」"A principal-protected investment"有现金值的寿险;保单成本每个月照扣Life insurance with cash value; charges come out every month
「免税退休养老金」"A tax-free retirement pension"保单贷款取钱,保单维持到身故才不产生所得税Policy loans are income-tax-free only if the policy stays in force to death
「生病赔 50–90 万」"Pays $500–900K if you fall ill"可以预支一部分死亡赔偿,金额由公司届时计算Part of the death benefit can be advanced; the carrier computes the amount then
「1 块换 5.57 块」"$1 buys $5.57, great leverage"按你的年龄和体况跑一份演示表来看Let's run an illustration for your age and health
「保证额外 15% 利息增长」"A guaranteed extra 15% interest"当年记到的利息再乘一个比例;记 0,加成也是 0A multiplier on the year's credited interest; zero credited, zero bonus

从这一页开始是第一部分:话怎么说。这两页列的是团队里最常听到的十二句,左边是不要这样说,右边是可以这样说。 我们一句一句过,重点讲「为什么不能说」,因为只有懂了为什么,换个场合你才不会换个说法再犯一次。

This begins part one: what you say. These two slides list the twelve lines heard most often in the team: on the left what not to say, on the right what to say instead. We'll go line by line, focusing on why, because only if you understand why will you avoid the same mistake in a different form next time.

第一句,「6–7% 平均保底年回报率」。保证的是下跌年份不记负数,不是 6–7%。把两件事合成一句,就成了保证收益,这是最严重的一条,后面单独讲。 第二句,「保本投资」。IUL 不是投资产品,是寿险;而且保单成本每个月都在扣,「保本」会让客户以为现金值只会涨。 准确的说法是:这是一张有现金值的寿险保单,指数不亏本金,但保单成本照扣,所以早期现金值会低于已缴保费。

Line one: "a guaranteed 6–7% average return". What's guaranteed is that a down year isn't credited a negative; 6–7% isn't. Fusing the two produces a guaranteed return. It's the most serious of the twelve, and it gets its own slide shortly. Line two: "a principal-protected investment". An IUL is life insurance, not an investment, and charges come out every month, so "principal-protected" makes clients think the cash value only goes up. Accurate: this is a life policy with cash value; the index side doesn't lose principal, but charges still come out, so early cash value will be below premiums paid.

第三句,「免税退休养老金」。取钱靠的是保单贷款,而贷款不缴所得税的前提是保单一直有效到身故。中途断保,之前取的钱要补税。 第四句,「生病赔 50 到 90 万」。生前福利是折现预支,实际多少由保险公司按病情、年龄、剩余寿命计算,签单的时候谁也给不出这个数。

Line three: "a tax-free retirement pension". The money comes out as policy loans, and loans are free of income tax only if the policy stays in force until death. If it lapses, what was taken out becomes taxable. Line four: "pays $500–900K if you fall ill" on a $1 million policy. Living benefits are a discounted advance; the actual amount is computed by the carrier from the illness, age and remaining life expectancy. Nobody can give that number at the point of sale.

第五句,「1 块换 5.57 块」。这个倍数来自某一份特定年龄、性别、体况、缴费方式的演示表,换一个人就不成立。 第六句,「保证额外 15% 利息增长」。那是对当年所记利息的加成比例,不是 15 个百分点;当年记 0%,加成也是 0。

Line five: "$1 buys $5.57". That multiple comes from one illustration for a particular age, sex, health class and funding pattern; for anyone else it doesn't hold. Line six: "a guaranteed extra 15% interest". It's a percentage applied to the interest credited that year, not 15 percentage points. If the year credits 0%, the bonus is 0 too.

互动设计Interaction

请两位伙伴一组,一个人用左边的说法,另一个人当客户追问「那是保证的吗?」,再换右边的说法重来一遍。体会一下哪一种更好回答。

Pair people up: one uses the left-hand line while the other plays the client and asks, "Is that guaranteed?" Then redo it with the right-hand line. Notice which one is easier to answer.

最常见的十二句(二)The Twelve That Recur (2)

不要这样说Don't say可以这样说Say instead
「零就是英雄」"Zero is your hero"指数不记负数,但成本照扣,现金值还是会往下走一点No negative credit, but charges still come out, so cash value dips
「保证不断保」"Guaranteed never to lapse"满足保证期条款的缴费条件,这段时间不会失效Meet the guarantee rider's funding conditions and it won't lapse in that period
「1997 年存 10 万,今天 30 万」"$100K in 1997 is $300K today"用现在的参数回算历史,只能当成一种参考A back-cast on today's terms, a reference only
「给老保单做免费升级」"A free upgrade for your old policy"可以比较要不要换,换的代价一条条算完再决定We can compare; let's add up what switching costs first
「别家只有……我们才有……」"Only we have…, they only have…"这张保单的条款是这样写的(讲自己的,不评论别人)Here's what this policy says (ours only, no comment on theirs)
「我第一年做了 X 万」"I made $X in my first year"佣金制度是公开的,规则可以讲;做多少取决于你自己The comp plan is published; I can explain the rules, results are up to you

接着看后六句。

Now the other six.

第七句,「零就是英雄」。口号本身没错,指数那一格确实不记负数;问题是它常被用来暗示「0 的年份不亏」。 那一年保单成本照扣,现金值会往下走一点。所以加上后半句:成本照扣。

Line seven: "zero is your hero". The slogan itself is fine; the index side really isn't credited a negative. The trouble is it's used to imply that a zero year costs nothing. Charges still come out that year, so the cash value dips. Add the second half: charges still apply.

第八句,「保证不断保」。这个保证来自某个特定附约,有自己的条件:按时足额缴费、不超额贷款等等。省掉条件,就成了无条件承诺。 第九句,「1997 年存 10 万,今天 30 万,比标普还高」。这是拿今天的产品参数去回算历史,那张保单当年并不存在; 而且是拿扣了费用的保单现金值,去跟不含任何费用的指数直接比。要说,就说清楚这是回算,只能当成一种参考。

Line eight: "guaranteed never to lapse". That guarantee comes from a specific rider with its own conditions: premiums paid in full and on time, no excess loans, and so on. Drop the conditions and you've made an unconditional promise. Line nine: "$100,000 in 1997 is $300,000 today, better than the S&P". That's a back-cast using today's product terms; that policy didn't exist in 1997. And it compares a cash value net of charges with an index that carries no charges at all. If you mention it, say clearly that it's a back-cast and only a reference.

第十句,「给老保单做免费升级」。替换从来不免费:新保单重新起算成本,不可异议期和自杀条款重新起算,旧单可能还有退保费用。后面替换那一页详细讲。 第十一句,「别家公司只有……我们才有……」。贬低同业在加州属于 §790.03 明文禁止的行为;而且产品条款每年在变,「只有我们」很快就不成立。讲自己的,不评论别人的。

Line ten: "a free upgrade for your old policy". A replacement is never free: the new policy restarts its costs, the contestability and suicide clauses restart, and the old one may carry surrender charges. The replacement slide covers this in detail. Line eleven: "only we have…". Disparaging another carrier is expressly prohibited in California under §790.03, and product terms change every year, so "only we" soon stops being true. Talk about yours; don't comment on theirs.

第十二句,「我第一年做了多少万」,或者「哪个公司给年薪 7 万的人发 3 万奖励」。对还没入行的人展示具体收入,就等于收入承诺, 这是招募场合最容易踩的一条,后面收入那一页再讲。

Line twelve: "I made $X in my first year", or "which company gives someone on $70K a $30K award?". Showing specific earnings to someone who hasn't joined is an earnings representation. It's the easiest line to cross when recruiting, and the income slide comes back to it.

讲师提醒Presenter's note

讲第九句时不要把那张回算图放出来给大家看,只讲道理。图本身就是那句话的书面版。

For line nine, explain the point without putting the back-cast chart on screen. The chart is simply the written version of the line.

「保底」这两个字The Word "Guaranteed"

0% 下限 = 指数那一格不记负数,不是「最少也有 6–7%」A 0% floor = the index segment is never credited a negative, not "at least 6–7%"

保证的Guaranteed

  • 指数那一格不记负数(0% 下限)
  • 合同写明的最低固定利率
  • 死亡赔偿金(保单有效时)
  • 某些附约写明的保证期
  • 年度重置:今年年末值是明年起点
  • No negative index credit (the 0% floor)
  • The minimum fixed rate in the contract
  • The death benefit, while in force
  • A guarantee period some riders state
  • Annual reset: this year-end is next year's start

不保证的Not guaranteed

  • 长期平均回报率
  • 上限(Cap)和参与率
  • 现金值能滚到多少
  • 保单成本(保证栏与当前栏是两个数)
  • 贷款利率(固定利率那种除外)
  • The long-run average return
  • The cap and participation rate
  • How far the cash value grows
  • Policy charges (guaranteed vs current columns)
  • The loan rate (unless fixed)

这一页是整个第一部分最要紧的一个词:「保底」。它出现得最多,而且中文的「保底」比英文的 floor 含糊得多。

This slide is about the most important word in part one: "guaranteed", the Chinese 保底. It comes up more than any other, and the Chinese word is far vaguer than the English "floor".

英文说 a 0% floor,指的是指数记息那一格不会记成负数,范围只限于指数记息这一件事。 中文说「保底 6–7%」,听的人理解成的是「最少也有 6–7%」。这是两个完全不同的承诺,后者在美国没有任何寿险产品做得到。

In English, "a 0% floor" means the index-crediting segment can't be credited a negative, and it's limited to index crediting and nothing else. In Chinese, "a 6–7% 保底" is heard as "at least 6–7%". Those are entirely different promises, and no life insurance product in the US delivers the second.

所以我们把保证和不保证的分成两栏。左边是真正保证的:指数那一格不记负数;合同里写明的最低固定利率,也就是固定账户那一格; 保单有效时的死亡赔偿金;某些附约写明的保证期;还有年度重置,今年的年末值就是明年的起点,跌了不会把去年的增长吐回去。

So we split guaranteed from not guaranteed. On the left, what really is guaranteed: no negative index credit; the minimum fixed rate written into the contract, for the fixed account; the death benefit while the policy is in force; a guarantee period that some riders state; and the annual reset, where this year's ending value is next year's starting point, so a down year doesn't give back last year's gains.

右边是不保证的:长期平均回报率;上限和参与率,公司可以在合同区间内调整;现金值最后能滚到多少;保单成本,演示表上保证栏和当前栏是两个不同的数; 还有贷款利率,除非你选的是固定利率那一种。

On the right, what isn't: the long-run average return; the cap and participation rate, which the carrier can adjust within the contract's range; how far the cash value eventually grows; policy charges, where the illustration's guaranteed and current columns are two different numbers; and the loan rate, unless you chose the fixed-rate option.

演示表上「保证」和「当前」本来就是两栏。跟客户讲的时候把两栏都指给他看,这一条就自动讲清楚了。 如果今天你一定要用「保底」这个词,后面那半句必须跟上:保的是不记负数,不是保 6–7%。

The illustration already has guaranteed and current columns. Point to both when you walk a client through it, and this takes care of itself. If you must use the word 保底 at all, the second half has to follow: it guarantees no negative credit, not 6–7%.

互动设计Interaction

拿一份真实的演示表(隐去客户信息),请一位伙伴在上面找出「保证」那一栏,用一分钟讲给大家听。

Hand out a real illustration with client details removed, and ask one person to find the guaranteed column and explain it to the room in a minute.

演示表不是预测An Illustration Is Not a Forecast

三句一定要跟着说Three lines that go with it

  1. 这是假设,不是保证
  2. 保证那一栏在这里,我们也看一遍
  3. 实际结果会跟这张表不一样
  1. This is an assumption, not a guarantee
  2. Here's the guaranteed column; let's read it too
  3. The actual result will differ from this page

三件事不要做Three things not to do

  • 把表上的数字说成「回报率」
  • 只截现金值那一列发出去
  • 拿保单净值跟不含费用的指数曲线比
  • Calling a number on it a "return"
  • Sending a screenshot of the cash-value column alone
  • Lining net policy values up against a gross index curve

先讲保证值,再讲非保证值;按演示出单的,经纪人和申请人签名、随申请提交、给客户一份Guaranteed values first, then non-guaranteed; if issued as illustrated, agent and applicant sign, submit it with the app, give the client a copy

演示表,英文 illustration,是按一组假设算出来的:假设指数每年都这么涨,假设上限一直不变,假设客户每年都按时缴, 假设保单成本按「当前」而不是「保证」那一栏走。它是监管要求必须提供的说明文件,不是对未来的承诺,也不是对过去的记录。

An illustration is computed from a set of assumptions: that the index does this every year, that the cap never moves, that the client pays on schedule, and that charges follow the current column rather than the guaranteed one. It's a disclosure document the regulator requires. It isn't a promise about the future, and it isn't a record of the past.

左边这三句,每次拿出演示表都要跟着说。第一句,这是假设,不是保证。第二句,保证那一栏在这里,我们也看一遍。 第三句,实际结果会跟这张表不一样。这三句说完,你后面讲什么都安全。

Say the three lines on the left every time an illustration comes out. One: this is an assumption, not a guarantee. Two: here's the guaranteed column; let's read that too. Three: the actual result will differ from this page. Once those three are said, everything after them is safe.

右边三件事不要做。不要把演示表上的数字说成「回报率」;不要只截现金值那一列发给客户或发到群里; 不要拿扣过费用的保单净值,去跟不含任何费用的指数曲线并排比。

On the right, three things not to do. Don't call any number on the illustration a "return". Don't screenshot the cash-value column alone and send it to a client or a group. Don't put a policy value net of charges side by side with an index curve that carries no charges.

最下面是国家人寿对演示的要求。讲的顺序是先讲保证值,再讲非保证值,并展示包括保证利率在内的多个利率,所有页面按顺序给全。 用了演示且按演示出单的,经纪人和申请人都要签名、写日期,随申请提交,并给客户一份;没用演示或者出单跟演示不同,送单时要签公司寄来的符合版本。 经纪人自己做的补充演示要先经合规批准。演示本身就是销售材料,不能改动。

At the bottom are National Life's rules. Present guaranteed values first, then non-guaranteed, showing several rates including the guaranteed one, with every page in order. If an illustration was used and the policy issues as illustrated, agent and applicant both sign and date it, it goes in with the application, and the client gets a copy. If none was used or the policy issues differently, the conforming version the carrier sends is signed at delivery. Any supplemental illustration you make yourself needs compliance approval first. An illustration is sales material and can't be altered.

请大家现场把三句话连起来说一遍,限时 20 秒。熟到不用想,见客户时才会自然说出来。

Have everyone say the three lines in a row, in under 20 seconds. They only come out naturally with a client once they're automatic.

「免税」有前提"Tax-Free" Has Conditions

这件事The claim前提是Only if
死亡赔偿金不缴所得税Death benefit free of income tax一般成立;但本人持有、遗产做受益人、身故前三年内转让过,仍可能计入遗产Usually; but it can still count in the estate if the insured owns it, the estate is beneficiary, or it was transferred within three years of death
保单贷款不缴所得税Policy loans free of income tax保单维持有效到身故;断保或退保时一起结算The policy stays in force to death; on lapse or surrender it's all settled
现金值延税增长Tax-deferred growth延税不等于免税;退保时超过已缴保费的部分课税Deferred isn't free; gains over premiums are taxed on surrender
先取本金不课税Basis comes out first, untaxed保单不是 MEC;成了 MEC 先出利息、先课税,59½ 前加 10% 罚款It isn't a MEC; a MEC pays gain first, taxed, plus 10% before 59½
生前福利理赔不课税Living-benefit claims untaxed绝症有明确依据;其他几类看条款与个人情况,问会计师Clear for terminal illness; the rest depend on terms and circumstances, ask a CPA

「免税」是我们讲 IUL 时最常用的词之一,也是最容易讲过头的词。这张表左边是常说的五件事,右边是它们各自的前提。

"Tax-free" is one of the words we use most when talking about IUL, and one of the easiest to overstate. The left column lists five common claims; the right column gives the condition each depends on.

第一,死亡赔偿金不缴所得税,一般成立。但如果被保险人自己持有保单、遗产是受益人,或者身故前三年内转让过保单,它仍然可能计入遗产,要算遗产税。 第二,保单贷款不缴所得税,前提是保单一直有效到身故。断保或退保的时候,累积的贷款和增值会一起结算,那时候就要交税了。

One: the death benefit is free of income tax. Usually true. But if the insured owns the policy, the estate is the beneficiary, or the policy was transferred within three years of death, it can still be counted in the estate for estate tax. Two: policy loans aren't subject to income tax, provided the policy stays in force until death. On lapse or surrender, the accumulated loans and gains are settled together, and that's when tax is due.

第三,现金值延税增长。延税不等于免税,退保时超过已缴保费的部分按普通收入课税。 第四,取钱先取本金、不课税,前提是这张保单不是 MEC。一旦保费交得太快、触发七付测试成为 MEC,顺序就反过来,先出利息、先课税,59 岁半之前还另加 10% 罚款。

Three: cash value grows tax-deferred. Deferred isn't free; on surrender, anything above premiums paid is taxed as ordinary income. Four: withdrawals come out of basis first, untaxed, provided the policy isn't a MEC. Fund it too fast, trip the seven-pay test, and it becomes a MEC: then gains come out first and are taxed, with a 10% penalty before age 59½.

第五,生前福利的理赔不课税。绝症那一类有明确依据;慢性病、重疾、重伤这几类的税务处理要看具体条款和个人情况,不能一概说成免税。

Five: living-benefit claims aren't taxed. That's clearly grounded for terminal illness; for chronic, critical illness and critical injury, the tax treatment depends on the specific terms and the person's circumstances, so it can't be described as tax-free across the board.

最后一条规矩:客户问到具体的税务后果,标准动作是转给他自己的会计师或税务师。我们不给税务意见,这也是国家人寿手册里写明的利益冲突禁止项。

One last rule: when a client asks about their specific tax consequences, the standard move is to refer them to their own CPA or tax adviser. We don't give tax advice; National Life's manual lists it among the prohibited conflicts.

问大家:客户说「你们这个是免税的吧?」你怎么用一句话回答,既不否定、又把前提讲出来?请两三位试着回答。

Ask: a client says, "This is tax-free, right?" How do you answer in one sentence that neither denies it nor drops the condition? Have two or three people try.

生前福利到底赔多少What Living Benefits Actually Pay

金额触发时才算,看三件事Computed at the claim, from three things

  1. 触发的是哪一类(绝症、慢性、重疾、重伤)
  2. 当时的剩余寿命评估
  3. 保单当时的状态
  1. Which category (terminal, chronic, critical illness, critical injury)
  2. The life-expectancy assessment then
  3. The policy's condition then

预支从死亡赔偿金里扣,不是额外给The advance comes out of the death benefit

慢性病有两个时钟Chronic illness has two clocks

  • 条款的等待期:保单生效后多久才能用
  • 失能要持续多久:如六项日常活动做不了两项、持续 90 天
  • The waiting period: how long after issue it can be used
  • How long the impairment must last: e.g. two of six daily activities, for 90 days

合成一句「等待期 90 天」,客户会算错拿钱的时间Merged into "a 90-day wait", the client gets the timing wrong

生前福利是我们最常讲、客户也最爱听的部分,所以更要讲准。常听到的那些数字,比如「提前理赔约 75 万」「每月约 1 万 4」「80 到 90 万」, 是某一份特定保单在某一组假设下的示例,不是条款给出的承诺。

Living benefits are what we talk about most and what clients most like to hear, which is all the more reason to get them right. The figures that get quoted, "about $750,000 advanced", "about $14,000 a month", "$800–900K", are examples from one policy under one set of assumptions, not promises the contract makes.

看左边:实际能预支多少,是保险公司在触发的时候才算的,主要看三件事。第一,触发的是哪一类,绝症、慢性病、重疾还是重伤; 第二,当时对剩余寿命的评估;第三,保单当时的状态。签单那天,谁也给不出这个数。

On the left: the amount that can be advanced is computed by the carrier when the claim is triggered, mainly from three things. One, which category: terminal, chronic, critical illness or critical injury. Two, the life-expectancy assessment at that point. Three, the condition of the policy at that point. On the day of sale, nobody can give that number.

下面这个金色标签,是客户最容易误解、也最该讲清楚的一点:预支的钱是从死亡赔偿金里扣的,不是额外多给的一笔。 另外记住下一页那条:生前福利附约不能说成长期护理保险,也不能说「比 LTC 更好」。

The gold label underneath is the point clients most often misunderstand and most need to hear: the advance comes out of the death benefit; it isn't extra money on top. And remember the rule on the next slide: a living-benefit rider can't be described as long-term care insurance, or as "better than LTC".

再看右边,慢性病那一类有两个不同的时钟。一个是条款的等待期,也就是保单生效后多久才能用;另一个是失能状态要持续多久, 比如六项日常生活行为里有两项无法独立完成,而且持续 90 天。把它们合成一句「等待期 90 天」,客户就会对自己什么时候能拿到钱产生错误的预期。

On the right, chronic illness runs on two separate clocks. One is the rider's waiting period: how long after the policy is issued before it can be used. The other is how long the impairment must last, for example being unable to perform two of the six activities of daily living for 90 days. Merge them into "a 90-day waiting period" and the client will expect the money at the wrong time.

产品叫什么:寿险不是投资Naming It: Life Insurance Is Not an Investment

不能叫它Never call it应该叫它Call it
寿险 =「投资」「退休计划」「储蓄计划」「教育计划」Life insurance = "investment", "retirement plan", "savings plan", "college plan"寿险,首要目的是身故保障Life insurance, for the death benefit first
年金 =「投资」「共同基金」「CD」Annuity = "investment", "mutual fund", "CD"年金,长期退休产品An annuity, a long-term retirement product
保费或现金值 =「存款」「储蓄」Premium or cash value = "deposit", "savings"保费、现金值Premium, cash value
生前福利 =「长期护理」「比 LTC 更好」Living benefits = "long-term care", "better than LTC"提前给付附约Accelerated benefit rider
「保费会消失」"Vanishing premium"说明可能每年都要交Premium may be needed every year

没执照不自称「理财规划师」;不把非保证的说成「保证」No "financial planner" without the licence; nothing non-guaranteed called "guaranteed"

这一页是国家人寿手册里写明的「绝对不能用的说法」,在所有州都适用。核心只有一句:寿险不是投资。

This slide is National Life's list of words you can never use, and it applies in every state. The core of it is one sentence: life insurance is not an investment.

第一行,寿险不能叫「投资」「投资计划」「私人退休金」「退休计划」「教育计划」「储蓄计划」「免税退休计划」。它就叫寿险,首要目的是身故保障。 卖寿险,首先要确立客户对身故保障的需要,其他功能都排在后面。 第二行,年金不能叫「投资」「共同基金」或者「CD」。它叫年金,是长期的退休产品;指数年金不直接参与股市,有退保费。

Row one: life insurance can't be called an "investment", "investment plan", "private pension", "retirement plan", "college plan", "savings plan" or "tax-free retirement plan". It's life insurance, and its first purpose is the death benefit. When you sell life insurance, establish the need for a death benefit first; every other feature comes after. Row two: an annuity isn't an "investment", a "mutual fund" or a "CD". It's an annuity, a long-term retirement product; an indexed annuity doesn't participate directly in the market and has surrender charges.

第三行,保费和现金值不能叫「存款」「储蓄」。这个最容易顺口说出来,比如「你每个月存 500」,要改成「每个月交 500 保费」。 第四行,生前福利附约不能说成长期护理,也不能说比 LTC 更好,要对比只能用公司批准的对比单张。 第五行,「保费会消失」这种说法不能用,要说明保费可能每年都要交。另外,IUL、VUL 这些缩写和行话,跟客户讲时尽量用保单上的正式名称。

Row three: premium and cash value aren't "deposits" or "savings". This one slips out easily, as in "you save $500 a month"; say "you pay a $500 monthly premium". Row four: a living-benefit rider is not long-term care and not "better than LTC"; any comparison uses only the carrier's approved flyer. Row five: never say the premium will "vanish"; explain that premium may be needed every year. And with clients, use the policy's own names rather than jargon like IUL or VUL where you can.

最下面一行是 PFA 手册里四个在所有州都要避免的词,其中两个已经在表里了,另外两个是:没有执照,不自称「理财规划师」; 不把非保证的东西说成「保证」。还要讲清楚的有:风险、限制、除外责任;退保费;贷款和提取会减少现金值和保额,保单失效时可能要交税。 卖什么就服务什么,至少每年见客户一次。

The bottom line adds PFA's four words to avoid in every state; two are already in the table, and the other two are: don't call yourself a financial planner without the licence, and don't call anything non-guaranteed "guaranteed". You also have to explain risks, limitations and exclusions; surrender charges; and that loans and withdrawals reduce cash value and death benefit and can be taxable if the policy lapses. Service what you sell: see each client at least once a year.

「每个月存 500」改成什么?「这是一个很好的退休计划」改成什么?请大家抢答,答对的说出完整句子。

收入、招募、朋友圈Income, Recruiting, Social Posts

对未持照的人展示具体收入 = 收入承诺,加不加「仅供参考」都一样Showing specific earnings to someone unlicensed = an earnings promise, disclaimer or not

可以讲:规则Fine: the rules

  • 佣金制度怎么算
  • 晋升条件是什么
  • 收入有哪四种来源
  • 入行要花多少钱
  • How compensation is calculated
  • What promotion requires
  • The four sources of income
  • What getting licensed costs

不要讲:个人数字Leave out: personal figures

  • 自己或别人的具体收入、奖金金额
  • 旅游奖励值多少钱
  • 「几个月就能做到 X」
  • 「稳赚」「轻松」、别家公司的坏话
  • Your or anyone's actual earnings or bonuses
  • What an incentive trip is worth
  • "You can hit X in a few months"
  • "Easy", "sure thing", knocking other firms

这一页讲招募。招募是最容易越界的场合,因为对方还没有执照,而你很想让他相信这件事值得做。

This slide is about recruiting, the setting where the line gets crossed most, because the other person isn't licensed yet and you badly want them to believe this is worth doing.

上面这句话请记住:对还没有执照的人展示具体收入数字,就是收入承诺,不管你后面加没加「仅供参考」。 所以我们网站上讲收入,只讲制度本身,不放任何个人数字;我们自己讲的时候也是一样。

Remember the line at the top: showing specific earnings to someone without a licence is an earnings representation, whether or not you add "for reference only". That's why our website covers only how the system works and carries no personal figures, and it's how we talk too.

左边是可以讲的,全部是规则:佣金制度怎么算,晋升条件是什么,收入有哪四种来源,入行要花多少钱。这些规则是公开的,讲规则永远安全。 讲的时候如果需要举例,用制度算例,并且说明那是按规则算出来的例子,不代表任何人一定能做到。

On the left, what you can say, which is all rules: how compensation is calculated, what promotion requires, the four sources of income, and what it costs to get licensed. The rules are published; explaining rules is always safe. If you need an example, use a worked example under the plan, and say that it's an illustration of the rules, not something anyone is assured of reaching.

右边是不要讲的:自己或别人的具体收入、奖金金额;旅游奖励值多少钱;「几个月就能做到多少」;把这件事说成「稳赚」「轻松」;还有别人家公司的坏话。 朋友圈也是一样:晒奖杯、晒旅游照片可以,配文不要写金额,不要写「跟着我做就能……」。

On the right, what to leave out: your own or anyone's actual earnings or bonus amounts; what an incentive trip is worth; "you can hit X in a few months"; describing this as easy or a sure thing; and anything negative about another company. The same goes for social posts: an award or a trip photo is fine, but no amounts in the caption, and nothing like "follow me and you'll…".

讲师提醒Presenter's note

讲这一页时,讲师自己也不要举「我第一年做了多少」这样的例子,哪怕是在内部培训里。课堂录像和截图同样会被转出去。

Don't use your own first-year figures as an example on this slide, even in an internal session. Recordings and screenshots of training get forwarded too.

见客户之前:资格与身份Before the Meeting: Your Eligibility, Their ID

自己独立见客户前,七样都要齐Before presenting alone: all seven

  • 客户所在州的寿险执照
  • CFT(或 CSA)课程
  • 旁观过至少 3 张 CFT 的培训单
  • 和 CFT 完成实习单
  • PFA 的 E&O
  • 被该产品的保险公司委任
  • 继续教育与反洗钱训练有效
  • A life licence in the client's state
  • The CFT (or CSA) course
  • 3+ training sales observed with a CFT
  • Supervised sales completed with a CFT
  • PFA E&O
  • Appointed with the carrier
  • Current CE and AML training

客户这边On the client's side

  • 先看带照片的证件,再填申请
  • 证件与申请书核对一致
  • 拿不出证件:找 QFD,不先收申请
  • 预缴年保费和所有年金:问钱从哪来,写进申请
  • 不收现金;支票抬头写保险公司
  • Photo ID first, then the application
  • Check the ID matches the app
  • No ID: call your QFD, don't take the app
  • Annual prepay and every annuity: ask the source of funds, record it
  • No cash; cheques payable to the carrier

第二部分,见客户与签单。先看两边的准备:你自己要具备什么,客户那边要核实什么。

Part two: meeting clients and signing cases. First, the preparation on both sides: what you need, and what you verify about the client.

左边,按 PFA 手册,自己独立见客户、讲方案之前,七样东西都要齐。第一,客户所在州的寿险执照;第二,上过 CFT 课程,或者 CSA; 第三,跟着 CFT 旁观过至少 3 张培训单;第四,和 CFT 一起完成了实习单;第五,有 PFA 认可的 E&O;第六,被这个产品的保险公司委任; 第七,继续教育和反洗钱训练都在有效期内。缺任何一样,你就还不能自己单独讲。

On the left: under PFA's manual, before you see a client and present on your own, all seven must be in place. One, a life licence in the client's state. Two, the CFT course, or CSA. Three, at least three training sales observed with a CFT. Four, supervised sales completed with a CFT. Five, PFA-approved E&O. Six, an appointment with the carrier for this product. Seven, continuing education and anti-money-laundering training that are current. Missing any one, you can't yet present alone.

右边是客户身份和反洗钱。先看证件,再填申请:驾照、护照、签证、军人或政府证件,要带照片。能复印就复印,存在机密客户档案里;不能复印就记下证件类型和信息。 核对证件上的信息和申请书一致;证件不足以确认身份,要求补充;客户拿不出来,联系你的 QFD,不要先把申请收了再说。

On the right: client identity and AML. ID first, then the application: a driver's licence, passport, visa, military or government ID, with a photo. Copy it into the confidential client file if you can; otherwise note the type and details. Check that the ID matches the application; if it doesn't establish identity, ask for more; if the client can't produce it, contact your QFD, and don't take the application in the meantime.

问钱从哪来:寿险一次性预缴年保费,以及所有的年金申请,都要问资金来源,并把客户的回答写进申请。最后,不收现金,支票抬头写保险公司, 本票、汇票这类现金等价物有专门的规矩,第十五页讲。

Ask where the money comes from: for a life case prepaying a year's premium, and for every annuity, ask the source of funds and record the answer on the application. And no cash: cheques are payable to the carrier. Cash equivalents such as cashier's cheques and money orders have their own rules, on slide fifteen.

适当性:先了解,再推荐Suitability: Understand, Then Recommend

先收集(CCQ 或同类表格)Collect first (CCQ or similar)

  • 净资产、收入与可支配收入
  • 家庭与抚养、年龄健康、退休年龄
  • 储蓄目标与风险承受
  • 现有保险、退休账户
  • Net worth, income, disposable income
  • Family and dependants, age, health, retirement age
  • Savings goals, risk tolerance
  • Existing cover, retirement accounts

然后做需要分析:寿险、健康 / 伤残 / 长照、未来开支、风险承受Then a needs analysis: life; health, disability, LTC; future costs; risk tolerance

客户书面确认The client confirms in writing

  • 买的是保险或年金,不是证券或投资
  • 除了保证值,没人承诺过任何回报
  • 利益、费用、附约、退保费都解释过
  • 替换:为了新产品的哪些好处
  • 退休计划转年金:计划内没有额外税务好处
  • 签发前改了方案:已看过新的演示
  • It's insurance or an annuity, not a security
  • No return promised beyond guaranteed values
  • Benefits, costs, riders, surrender charges explained
  • Replacing: for which benefits of the new product
  • Plan money into an annuity: no extra tax benefit inside a plan
  • Changed before issue: the new illustration was reviewed

两本手册都有同一个原则:推荐只能基于适当性。意思是,你推荐什么,必须能从客户的情况里找到理由,而不是从你想卖什么里找。

Both manuals share one principle: a recommendation must rest on suitability. Whatever you recommend has to be justified by the client's situation, not by what you'd like to sell.

左边是第一步,先收集。PFA 手册要求用机密客户问卷,也就是 CCQ,或者同类的表格,收集这些信息:净资产、收入和可支配收入、家庭和抚养情况、 年龄健康和打算几岁退休、储蓄目标和风险承受能力、现有的保险、退休账户。然后做需要分析:寿险缺口,健康、伤残、长期护理,未来的大笔开支,风险承受。 团队的空白信息表就是按这个顺序设计的,用它就不会漏。

On the left, step one: collect. PFA's manual requires the Confidential Client Questionnaire, the CCQ, or a similar form, covering net worth, income and disposable income, family and dependants, age, health and planned retirement age, savings goals and risk tolerance, existing insurance, and retirement accounts. Then the needs analysis: the life insurance gap; health, disability and long-term care; large future expenses; risk tolerance. The team's blank intake sheets follow this order, so using them means nothing gets missed.

右边是每张单都要让客户书面确认的六件事。第一,买的是保险或年金,不是证券或投资。第二,除了演示中的保证值,没有人承诺过任何回报。 第三,主要特点,也就是利益、费用、附约、退保费,都已经解释过。第四,如果是替换,客户确认是为了新产品的哪些好处而替换。 第五,如果是从退休计划转钱买年金,客户确认年金放在计划里没有额外的税务好处,买它是为了其他功能,费用也已经说明。第六,签发前改了方案的,客户已经看过新的演示。

On the right, the six things the client confirms in writing on every case. One, this is insurance or an annuity, not a security or an investment. Two, nobody promised any return beyond the guaranteed values in the illustration. Three, the main features, meaning benefits, costs, riders and surrender charges, were explained. Four, on a replacement, which benefits of the new product it's for. Five, when retirement plan money buys an annuity, that the annuity adds no tax benefit inside the plan, that it's bought for other features, and that its costs were explained. Six, if the design changed before issue, the client has seen the new illustration.

国家人寿还补了几条最佳做法:不过度承诺现金价值收入或其他非保证项目,演示不同的利率情境;客户有语言障碍时,格外确认他真的理解; 没有证券执照,不建议客户卖掉证券来买保险。这些确认和记录,将来就是你的证据。

National Life adds a few best practices: don't overpromise cash-value income or other non-guaranteed items, and show several rate scenarios; where there's a language barrier, take extra care that the client truly understands; and without a securities licence, never suggest selling securities to buy insurance. These confirmations and notes are your evidence later.

这一页是面谈和签申请时的规矩,左边讲面谈,右边讲签名。

This slide covers the meeting and signing the application: the meeting on the left, signatures on the right.

左边。所有讲解都当面做,一次只面对一位客户。无照的学员可以在场学习,但不能参与讲解。写单的代理人要实质参与:至少一位参与讲解的人签申请, 所有分佣的人都要参与并签申请,不能把单子挂到没参与的人名下,包括为了凑晋升。

The left. Every presentation is in person, one client at a time. An unlicensed trainee can sit in to learn but can't take part in presenting. The writing agent must genuinely take part: at least one person who presented signs the application, everyone sharing the commission takes part and signs, and no case is put under the name of someone who wasn't involved, including to help a promotion.

你是现场核保员。客户的外表、年龄、健康、住所、生活方式、资金来源,你都要留意,确保申请如实。不能做「clean sheet」,也就是不问就全勾「否」: 每个问题都要问,客户说「从不看医生、没有病史」,要再确认一次。保险公司会查处方药数据库和 MIB,理赔时发现重大隐瞒,代理人可能被终止委任。 另外,经纪人必须能用客户的语言跟他沟通,不能靠翻译;申请书上要列出客户所有现有保单的保额,以及是否替换。

You're the field underwriter. Notice the client's appearance, age, health, home, lifestyle and source of funds, and make sure the application is truthful. No clean-sheeting, meaning ticking "no" without asking: ask every question, and when a client says "I never see a doctor, no history at all", confirm it again. Carriers check prescription databases and the MIB, and a material misstatement found at claim time can get the agent's appointment terminated. You also have to be able to talk to the client in their own language rather than through an interpreter, and the application must list all the client's existing policies with face amounts, and whether any is being replaced.

右边。申请书用 eApp 电子签名,客户本人当着你的面签。你不能替客户签,即使客户同意也不行,那就是伪造。 不能在申请上写你自己的联系方式;签完以后不能改答案;不能索要或保留已经签了名的空白表格;不能见证不在你面前的签名。 除非合同书面保证,不能说任何产品「只要交几年」。最后,STOLI 和 IOLI,也就是以投机为目的的他人寿险,一律禁止:免费保险、无追索的保费融资、 用复杂的信托或 LLC 掩盖投机意图,都不能碰。

The right. The application is e-signed through eApp, by the client in person in front of you. You can't sign for the client, even with their consent; that's forgery. Don't put your own contact details on the application; don't change answers after it's signed; never ask for or keep signed blank forms; never witness a signature not made in front of you. Unless the contract guarantees it in writing, never say a product only needs premiums for a few years. And STOLI and IOLI, life insurance bought on someone else as a speculation, are banned outright: "free" insurance, non-recourse premium financing, or a complex trust or LLC hiding a speculative purpose are all off limits.

讲师提醒Presenter's note

「帮客户签一下」是新人最容易出于好心犯的错,比如客户在外地、手机不会操作。请明确讲:没有例外,签名只能是客户本人的。

"Just signing for the client" is the mistake new people make most often, out of kindness: the client is away, or can't work the phone. Say it plainly: there are no exceptions; only the client signs.

钱的问题,是合规里最不能出错的部分。这一页讲国家人寿收保费的规矩。

Money is the part of compliance you can least afford to get wrong. This slide is National Life's rules on taking premium.

上面左边是可以接受的:EFT 自动扣款、电话付款、个人或企业支票、电汇、银行支票、网上付款,还有汇票,但年金不收汇票。全部必须是美国银行的美元。 右边是不接受的:现金;经纪人自己或代理公司开的支票;信用卡;不记名债券;外币;旅行支票。PFA 的规定也一样:保费只收保单持有人或被保险人的,支票抬头写保险公司。

Top left, what's accepted: EFT, pay-by-phone, personal or business cheques, wires, cashier's cheques, online payments, and money orders, though not for annuities. All must be in US dollars from a US bank. Top right, what isn't: cash; cheques from the agent or the agency; credit cards; bearer bonds; foreign currency; traveller's cheques. PFA's rule matches: premium only from the owner or the insured, with cheques payable to the carrier.

下面这个数字要记住:一万美元。本票、银行支票、汇票这些现金等价物,每位付款人、被保险人、持有人或者每个家庭,滚动 12 个月合计不能超过一万美元; 单张超过一万的本票或银行支票是例外。现金等价物必须是客户自己去买,交给你的时候填 Form 7953 现金收据表。

Remember the figure underneath: $10,000. Cash equivalents such as cashier's cheques, treasurer's cheques and money orders are capped at $10,000 combined per payer, insured, owner or household in any rolling 12 months; a single cashier's or treasurer's cheque over $10,000 is the exception. The client must buy them personally, and when they're handed to you, Form 7953, the cash receipt form, is completed.

三件绝对不能做的事:不能替客户去买现金等价物;不能替非家人的客户交保费或者还保单贷款;不能把保费存进自己的账户,也不能收合同以外的任何钱。

Three things you must never do: buy cash equivalents for a client; pay premiums or policy loans for a client who isn't family; or deposit premium in your own account or collect any money beyond the contract.

This slide is the AML quiz from National Life's manual. Cover the right-hand column, and let's take them one at a time.

第一个:一位餐馆员工,收入主要是现金小费,年缴保费一万美元,全部用汇票交。问题在哪?碰到了每户每滚动 12 个月一万美元的现金等价物上限; 而且如果他有支票账户,就没有理由用现金等价物。

Case one: a restaurant worker paid mostly in cash tips pays a $10,000 annual premium entirely by money order. What's wrong? It hits the $10,000 per-household cap on cash equivalents in a rolling 12 months, and if they have a checking account, there's no reason to use cash equivalents at all.

第二个:做现金生意的一家人,同一户买了三张保单,分别是 15,000、10,000 和 5,000,一共三万,其中 24,000 用汇票、其余用支票。 问题是拆单,英文叫 structuring,把大额拆成小额来避开申报;而且同一户已经超过了上限。

Case two: a family with a cash business buys three policies in one household, $15,000, $10,000 and $5,000, $30,000 in total, with $24,000 paid by money order and the rest by cheque. The problem is structuring, splitting a large amount into smaller ones to stay under reporting, and the household is already over the cap.

第三个:一张一万美元的 IUL,每个季度借 2,500,下个月再用汇票还回去。反复贷款,加上用现金等价物还款,是典型的洗钱红旗,应该上报。

Case three: a $10,000 IUL where $2,500 is borrowed every quarter and repaid the following month by money order. Repeated loans repaid with cash equivalents is a textbook red flag, and it should be reported.

下面是其他红旗:犹豫期内反复退保;资金明显超出已知收入;完全不在乎退保费;没有理由地用多个家人或公司名义开户;想用现金交大额保费又没有支票账户; 只关心怎么提前解约,不关心保单表现。有怀疑立即上报。还有一条:公司来问你某个客户的反洗钱问题,要保密,绝对不能透露给客户。

Underneath, other red flags: a pattern of surrenders during the free look; funds well beyond known income; indifference to surrender charges; accounts in several family members' or companies' names for no reason; wanting to pay a large premium in cash with no checking account; interest in early termination rather than performance. Report suspicions at once. And when the company asks you about a client's AML matter, keep it confidential; never tell the client.

把右边一栏遮住,三个案例各请一位伙伴回答「问题在哪」,再揭开对答案。

Hide the right-hand column, ask a different person to say what's wrong in each case, then reveal the answers.

利益冲突、不公平交易与返佣Conflicts, Unfair Practices, Rebating

利益冲突:禁止Conflicts: banned

  • 给非亲属客户当受托人、授权代理人、遗嘱执行人
  • 提供税务或法律建议
  • 做非亲属客户保单的持有人或受益人
  • Trustee, POA or executor for a non-family client

  • 只送各州允许的小额礼品,不附条件
  • No part of commission back to the client
  • No fees to unlicensed referrers
  • Only small gifts the state allows, no strings

这一页讲三类「好意也不行」的事。

This slide covers three kinds of things that aren't allowed even with good intentions.

第一栏,利益冲突。为非直系亲属的客户担任受托人、继任受托人、授权代理人、监护人、遗嘱执行人、董事或者送达代理人,都禁止; 给客户提供税务或法律建议,禁止;成为非亲属客户保单的持有人、受让人或受益人,禁止;让家人或同事去做你自己不能做的事,同样禁止。 客户很信任你,请你帮忙当个受托人,你要婉拒,介绍他去找律师。

Column one, conflicts of interest. Acting as trustee, successor trustee, power of attorney, guardian, executor, director or registered agent for a client who isn't immediate family is banned; so is giving tax or legal advice; so is being the owner, assignee or beneficiary on a non-family client's policy; and so is having family or colleagues do what you can't. If a client who trusts you asks you to be their trustee, decline politely and refer them to an attorney.

第二栏,不公平交易,出自 NAIC 880 号示范法。虚假陈述保单利益、分红或公司财务;把保单说成「股票」;为了促成断保或替换而报错保费; 诋毁其他公司、产品或它们的销售做法;以及只卖保险,却自称「理财规划师」「投资顾问」「理财顾问」。要收费做规划,必须事先签书面协议,写明服务、费用、没有购买义务,保存三年。 解释保单、办理变更和理赔属于经纪人的本分,不能收费。

Column two, unfair trade practices, from NAIC Model 880: misrepresenting benefits, dividends or a company's finances; calling a policy "stock"; misquoting premium to bring about a lapse or replacement; disparaging other companies, products or their sales practices; and calling yourself a "financial planner", "investment adviser" or "consultant" when you only sell insurance. Fee-based planning needs a signed written agreement in advance that sets out the services, the fee and that there's no obligation to buy, kept for three years. Explaining policies, processing changes and helping with claims are part of the job and can't be charged for.

第三栏,返佣与送礼。把部分保费或佣金、礼物、服务、折扣作为让客户买单的诱因,在多数州违法,公司也禁止。不承诺给没有执照的转介人任何费用。 只能送各州允许的小额礼品,不附条件,说好送就要送,即使对方最后没听讲解。

Column three, rebating and gifts. Using part of the premium or commission, or gifts, services or discounts, as an inducement to buy is illegal in most states and banned by the company. Don't promise any fee to an unlicensed referrer. Only small gifts the state allows, with no conditions attached; and if you offered one, give it, even if the person didn't sit through the presentation.

问:「客户第一年保费我帮你出一半」「介绍朋友来买,我给你红包」,这两句分别违反了哪一栏?

Ask: "I'll cover half your first-year premium" and "Refer a friend and I'll give you a red envelope". Which column does each break?

替换:从来不是「免费升级」Replacements: Never a "Free Upgrade"

什么算替换What counts

  • 新单导致旧单退保、断缴、降额或降保费
  • 用旧单借款或提取来交新单
  • 融资购买:新单生效前 4 个月到后 13 个月内用旧单的钱
  • The new policy causes a surrender, lapse, or cut in cover or premium
  • Loans or withdrawals from the old one fund the new
  • Financed purchase: old-policy money used 4 months before to 13 months after

加州:签替换通知、资料保留三年、Free Look 30 天California: replacement notice, 3-year records, 30-day free look

「免费升级」错在哪What's wrong with "free upgrade"

  • 「免费」:前期费用重新摊销,旧单可能有退保费
  • 「升级」:不可异议期与自杀条款重新起算两年
  • 「拥有整个市场」:正是 Twisting 与 Churning 被禁止的原因
  • "Free": up-front costs restart; the old policy may have surrender charges
  • "Upgrade": contestability and suicide clauses restart for two years
  • "The whole market": exactly why twisting and churning are banned

第三部分,替换与特殊客户。先讲替换。

Part three: replacements and special clients. Replacements first.

左边,什么算替换。只要新保单导致现有保单被退保、部分退保、断缴、终止、降低保费或者降低保障,就是替换;用现有保单的借款或提取来买新单,也是替换。 还有一种叫融资购买:同一持有人、同一家公司,在新保单生效前 4 个月到生效后 13 个月之内,用现有保单的钱来交新保费,同样算替换。

On the left, what counts. If a new policy causes an existing one to be surrendered, partly surrendered, lapsed, terminated, or reduced in premium or cover, that's a replacement; so is using loans or withdrawals from an existing policy to buy the new one. There's also the financed purchase: same owner, same company, using money from the existing policy to pay the new premium anywhere from 4 months before to 13 months after the new policy takes effect. That counts too.

替换时要向客户说明:新的费用、会失去的条款和权利、新的退保期、新的自杀和可抗辩期、税务后果,并填替换表。先考虑其他路:改写、转换、保留旧单再加一张。 替换已经缴清的保单很少符合客户利益;客户年龄越大,替换越难说是最佳利益。加州另有一整套流程:签 Notice Regarding Replacement,资料保留三年, 新公司五个工作日内通知原公司,Free Look 强制 30 天。

On a replacement you must explain the new costs, the provisions and rights being given up, the new surrender period, the new suicide and contestability periods, and the tax consequences, and complete the replacement forms. Consider the alternatives first: a rewrite, a conversion, or keeping the old policy and adding a new one. Replacing a paid-up policy is rarely in the client's interest, and the older the client, the harder it is to call a replacement their best interest. California adds its own process: the Notice Regarding Replacement is signed, records are kept three years, the new insurer notifies the old one within five business days, and the free look is a mandatory 30 days.

右边,「免费升级」这个说法错在哪。团队里有一种讲法叫「红海和蓝海」:蓝海是可以卖给已经有保单的人,做免费升级,拥有整个市场。 已有保单的人确实是一个市场,这一点没错;问题在三个词。「免费」:新保单要重新摊销前期费用,旧保单可能有退保费,换过去的钱要重新开始滚。 「升级」:暗示新的一定更好,但新保单的不可异议期和自杀条款要重新起算两年,这段时间客户的保障其实更脆弱。 「拥有整个市场」:如果替换的理由是市场更大,而不是这位客户换了更好,那正是 Twisting 和 Churning 被禁止的原因。

On the right, what's wrong with "free upgrade". There's a pitch in the team about red oceans and blue oceans: the blue ocean is selling to people who already have a policy, giving them a free upgrade, and owning the whole market. People with existing policies really are a market; the problem is three words. "Free": the new policy restarts its up-front costs, the old one may have surrender charges, and the money starts compounding from scratch. "Upgrade": it implies new is better, yet the new policy's contestability and suicide clauses restart for two years, and the client is more exposed in that time. "The whole market": if the reason for replacing is that the market is bigger, rather than that this client is better off, that is exactly why twisting and churning are banned.

Twisting 是跨公司误导替换,Churning 是在同一家公司里换来换去赚佣金。PFA 还有一条:不能在签发一年内、对客户没有明显好处的情况下,替换另一位 PFA 伙伴写的保单; 内部替换要签发满一年、且没有佣金追回,才有佣金。完整的替换审核流程见《保单替换》那一篇。

Twisting is a misleading replacement across companies; churning is moving a client around within one company for commission. PFA adds a rule: within a year of issue, and without a clear benefit to the client, you can't replace a policy another PFA associate wrote, and an internal replacement earns commission only once the old policy is a year past issue with no chargeback. The full replacement review process is in the Policy Replacement article.

长者与军人:要多做的几步Seniors and the Military: Extra Steps

加州 65 岁以上California, 65 and over

  • 到府拜访:每次见面前 24 小时至 14 天给 #20045 通知
  • 建议变现股票、IRA、CD、年金等:给 #8196 披露
  • 进门先说来意,递上带执照号的名片
  • 放慢、请家人参与、详细记录
  • 被要求离开,立即离开
  • Home visits: #20045 notice 24 hours to 14 days before each one
  • Recommending liquidating stocks, IRAs, CDs, annuities: #8196 disclosure
  • State your purpose; hand over a card with licence number
  • Slow down, involve family, take detailed notes
  • Asked to leave? Leave at once

现役军人及家属Active duty and families

  • 按军人金融服务保护法做披露
  • 进基地要指挥官批准
  • 不暗示与军方或政府有关
  • 不说保险免费,不贬低 SGLI
  • 不把军饷划拨说成存款
  • Disclosures under the Military Personnel Financial Services Protection Act
  • Base commander's approval on installations
  • No implied military or government link
  • Never "free", never knock SGLI
  • An allotment is not a deposit

这一页讲两类要多做几步的客户:长者和军人。

This slide covers two groups of clients that need extra steps: seniors and the military.

先看左边,加州 65 岁以上的长者。首先要留意认知能力有没有下降:讲慢一点,请家人一起参与,用简单的话,把过程详细记录下来。 到府拜访有几条硬性规定:每一次见面之前 24 小时到 14 天之内,要给客户 Senior Notice Prior to Visit,表格编号 20045;注意是每一次,不是第一次。 如果你的建议涉及让客户变现股票、债券、IRA、CD、基金或者年金,要给 Financial Advice Disclosure for Elders,表格 8196。

Left first: seniors in California aged 65 and over. Watch for cognitive decline: slow down, involve family, use simple language and keep detailed notes. Home visits come with firm rules. Give the Senior Notice Prior to Visit, form 20045, between 24 hours and 14 days before each meeting; that's every meeting, not just the first. If your recommendation involves liquidating stocks, bonds, IRAs, CDs, funds or annuities, give the Financial Advice Disclosure for Elders, form 8196.

进门第一件事说明来意;如果名单是从 lead 服务来的,要告诉客户;在场的每一位都要递上带执照号的名片;客户请你离开,立即离开。 再加上第二页讲的:对 60 岁以上的客户不能说「保证回报」「无风险」。年金最佳利益的四项义务,注意、披露、利益冲突、记录,在《年金全解》里详细讲。

State your purpose as soon as you arrive; if the name came from a lead service, say so; everyone present hands over a card showing their licence number; and if the client asks you to leave, leave at once. Add what slide two said: no "guaranteed return" or "no risk" with clients 60 and over. The four annuity best-interest duties, care, disclosure, conflict of interest and documentation, are covered in the Annuities article.

右边,现役军人和家属。要按《军人金融服务保护法》做披露,E-4 及以下的军人还有额外要求;进军事基地要指挥官批准。 不能做的有:送礼换出席;暗示自己跟军方或政府有关;约见时不说明是推销;把计息利率说成净回报;说保险是免费的;贬低 SGLI、VGLI 或者鼓励客户退掉 SGLI; 把军饷划拨说成存款;为了交保费去改他的扣缴。

On the right, active-duty service members and their families. Disclosures follow the Military Personnel Financial Services Protection Act, with extra requirements for E-4 and below, and going onto a base needs the commander's approval. Never: give gifts in exchange for attendance; imply any link to the military or government; hide that a meeting is a sales call; call a credited rate a net return; say insurance is free; disparage SGLI or VGLI or encourage dropping SGLI; call an allotment a deposit; or change withholding to fund premiums.

讲师提醒Presenter's note

提醒大家:给父母辈的朋友讲保险,也是长者销售,同样要给 20045 通知、同样要做适合性评估。熟人不是例外。

Remind everyone that talking insurance with a friend's parents is still a senior sale: the 20045 notice and the suitability review apply just the same. Knowing them is no exception.

广告:凡是对外的,先审核Advertising: Anything Public Is Approved First

广告包括讲稿、视频、社交媒体、名片、话术、需求分析表、演示、建议书、经纪人培训材料Advertising includes scripts, video, social posts, business cards, phone scripts, fact finders, illustrations, proposals, agent training material

先过 PFA 合规First, PFA compliance

  • 首次使用前送审,写明内容、渠道、受众、频率
  • 批准只对申报的用途有效
  • 一周没批重交,两周没批视为否决
  • Before first use: content, channel, audience, frequency
  • Approval covers only the stated use
  • Resubmit after a week; two weeks means no

再过国家人寿广告审核Then National Life's ad review

  • 提到公司、评级、产品名或独有条款的
  • 没点名、但意在引起对产品兴趣的
  • 书面批准后才能用,保存批准记录
  • Anything naming the company, ratings, products or unique features
  • Anything meant to create interest even unnamed
  • Use only after written approval; keep it

第四部分,对外发布。先讲广告。第一个要纠正的观念是:广告的范围比你想的大得多。

Part four: anything public. Advertising first. The first idea to correct: advertising covers far more than you think.

在国家人寿眼里,广告包括:讲座和网络研讨会的讲稿、视频、社交媒体、印刷品和直邮、名片和信纸、网站、手册、电话话术、需求分析表、演示、建议书、电子报、 推销或招募邮件,还有经纪人培训材料。也就是说,你自己做的一张产品说明图、一份给客户的中文总结,都是广告。

To National Life, advertising includes seminar and webinar scripts, video, social media, print and direct mail, business cards and letterhead, websites, brochures, phone scripts, fact finders, illustrations, proposals, newsletters, sales or recruiting emails, and agent training material. In other words, a product graphic you made yourself, or a Chinese summary you wrote for a client, is advertising.

左边,先过 PFA。只有已持牌、已委任的伙伴才能做广告。自己做的任何宣传品,印刷、网页、照片、视频、社交媒体,首次使用前都要交 PFA 合规审核, 写明内容、投放渠道、受众和频率。批准以邮件回复,只对你申报的用途有效,换个用途要重新申报。一周没批要重交,两周没批视为否决。 用 PFA 的标志,比如招牌、T 恤,也要先批。中文广告要附一份你证明准确的英文译本。

On the left, PFA first. Only licensed, appointed associates may advertise. Anything you produce, in print, online, photo, video or social media, goes to PFA compliance before first use, stating the content, channel, audience and frequency. Approval comes by email and covers only the use you described; a different use means a new submission. Resubmit if a week passes without approval; two weeks without approval counts as denied. Using the PFA logo, on signs or T-shirts, needs approval too. A Chinese ad needs an English translation that you certify as accurate.

右边,再过国家人寿。凡是提到国家人寿、LSW、NLIC、评级、历史、标志、产品名或独有条款的,比如重大伤害、LIBR;国家人寿产品的销售竞赛和培训材料; 还有即使没点名、但意在引起客户对国家人寿产品兴趣的内容,都要填 Compliance Review Request Form 发 AdReview,通常 2 到 5 天。拿到书面批准才能用,并保存批准记录。 Agent Portal 上的现成材料可以直接用,但不能改动、盖章或加字。

On the right, then National Life. Anything that names National Life, LSW or NLIC, ratings, history, logos, product names or unique features such as critical injury or LIBR; sales contests and training material on NLG products; and anything meant to create interest in NLG products even without naming them, goes to AdReview with the Compliance Review Request Form, usually two to five days. Use it only after written approval, and keep the approval. Ready-made material from the Agent Portal can be used as is, but never altered, stamped or added to.

讲座和会议同样受管:没持牌委任的人不能上台;客户讲座、招募会、内部培训都用公司核准的讲稿、PPT 或视频,不改动;不安排未经审核的临时发言人; 讲座上介绍了某个产品,也要等逐一做完需要分析,才能收申请。内容规则:真实、完整、写出风险,不保证未来结果,引用的统计要是 3 年内发布且注明来源。

Seminars and meetings are regulated too: nobody unlicensed or unappointed presents; client seminars, recruiting meetings and internal training use approved scripts, slides or video, unchanged; no unvetted guest speakers; and even after a product is presented, no application is taken until each person has had a needs analysis. Content rules: truthful, complete, with the risks stated, no promise of future results, and statistics published within three years and sourced.

讲师提醒Presenter's note

这一套幻灯片本身也是内部培训材料:只在团队内部使用,不发给客户,不截图到朋友圈。

This deck is itself internal training material: team use only, never sent to clients or screenshotted to social media.

中文材料与内部资料Chinese Material and "For Agent Use Only"

可以翻译May be translated

通用的寿险、年金销售材料,信纸和个人简介(走公司的多元文化材料流程)Generic life and annuity sales material, stationery and bios (through the company's multicultural process)

不可以翻译May not be translated

产品名、独有功能(ABR、LIBR、GLIR 等)的材料,证券材料Product names, proprietary features (ABR, LIBR, GLIR…), securities material

  • 保单和表格只有英文;不能暗示产品有中文版
  • 页脚有 For Agent Use Only 的:不给客户看、不截图、不进讲座 PPT
  • 本站内部页是培训笔记:不截图、不转发、不改写后给客户
  • Policies and forms are English only; never imply a Chinese version
  • Footer says For Agent Use Only: not for clients, screenshots or seminar decks
  • This site's internal pages are training notes: never forwarded or adapted for clients

这一页和我们团队关系最大,因为我们的客户大多讲中文。

This slide matters more to our team than almost any other, because most of our clients speak Chinese.

国家人寿所有保单和表格只有英文版;申请用英文填,客户必须完全理解;不能暗示产品有客户母语的版本。 上面两栏讲哪些能翻译:通用的寿险、年金销售材料、信纸和个人简介可以翻译,要走公司的 Process for Creating Multi-Cultural Marketing Materials 流程。 不能翻译的是:涉及产品名或独有功能的材料,比如重大伤害 ABR、LIBR、GLIR,还有证券材料。

All National Life policies and forms exist in English only; applications are completed in English, the client must fully understand them, and you must never imply that the product exists in the client's language. The two boxes show what can be translated: generic life and annuity sales material, stationery and bios, through the company's Process for Creating Multi-Cultural Marketing Materials. What can't: anything with product names or proprietary features, such as the critical injury ABR, LIBR or GLIR, and securities material.

下面第二条,For Agent Use Only。保险公司幻灯片角上常有一行小字:For Agent Use Only — Not For Use With The Public。它有法律含义,不是排版装饰。 带这行字的页面是给持照代理人看的内部资料,不能给客户看、不能截图转发、不能放进讲座 PPT。通常带这行字的有:佣金与销量数据、市场份额排名、产品内部参数对照、 核保指引、竞品对比页、还没通过审批的新产品资料。给客户的材料,从 Agent Portal 下载标着 consumer 或 client 的版本,或者用团队审过的讲座模板。

The second point: For Agent Use Only. The small line in the corner of a carrier's slide, For Agent Use Only — Not For Use With The Public, has legal meaning; it isn't decoration. A page carrying it is internal material for licensed agents and can't be shown to clients, screenshotted, forwarded or dropped into a seminar deck. It usually appears on commission and production data, market-share rankings, internal parameter comparisons, underwriting guides, competitor comparisons and pre-approval material for new products. For clients, download the consumer or client version from the Agent Portal, or use a seminar template the team has had reviewed.

第三条是对我们这个网站的意思。团队建设的中文产品页是给签约经纪人的培训笔记,需要口令,不被搜索引擎收录。 它们不能截图、转发或者改写后给客户,也不能发到朋友圈、微信群,那样就成了未经审批的翻译广告。给客户的材料,只用 Agent Portal 上的官方版本,包括官方中文版。

The third point is what this means for our website. The Chinese product pages in the Team Building section are training notes for contracted agents, behind a passphrase and kept out of search engines. They can't be screenshotted, forwarded or rewritten for clients, or posted to Moments or WeChat groups; that would make them unapproved translated advertising. For clients, use only the official Agent Portal versions, including the official Chinese ones.

请大家打开手机相册,找一张最近发给客户的产品图片,看看页脚有没有 For Agent Use Only,是不是官方版本。

社交媒体与微信Social Media and WeChat

平台Platform能不能谈业务Business use
LinkedIn、Facebook 商业页、Instagram 商业号、X、YouTubeLinkedIn, Facebook Business, Instagram Business, X, YouTube可以,按规则Yes, within the rules
微信、小红书、TikTokWeChat, RedNote, TikTok2026 年起列入批准平台,规则同上;发前看当期指引Approved from 2026, same rules; check the current guide first
WhatsApp、Alignable、互动博客、个人账号WhatsApp, Alignable, interactive blogs, personal accounts不能用于国家人寿业务Not for National Life business
  • 可以发:送单、公益、团队会议的照片,人人同意,不露保单号
  • 配文只用简单通用的句子,如「又一个家庭有了保障」
  • Fine: delivery, charity and meeting photos, everyone's consent, no policy numbers
  • Simple generic captions, e.g. "another family protected"
  • 不写产品名、附约名和独有功能
  • 不回应网上评论,不批评任何公司或同行
  • No product, rider or proprietary feature names
  • No replies to online comments; no criticism of anyone

社交媒体是这两年变化最大的一块,先看表。

Social media has changed more than anything else in the last two years. Start with the table.

第一行,LinkedIn 的个人和公司页、Facebook 商业页、Instagram 商业号、X、YouTube,可以谈业务,按规则来。 第二行是我们最关心的:微信、小红书、TikTok,2026 年起列入了合规批准的平台,规则和上面一样,公司也开始提供翻译好的中文帖子。 以前「微信只能发英文会议通知」那条规定已经被取代了,但发之前仍然要看合规部当期的社交媒体指引,因为规则还在更新。 第三行,WhatsApp、Alignable、互动博客和个人账号,不能用于国家人寿的业务。

Row one: LinkedIn profiles and company pages, Facebook Business, Instagram Business, X and YouTube can be used for business, within the rules. Row two is the one we care about most: WeChat, RedNote and TikTok joined the compliance-approved list from 2026, under the same rules, and the company now supplies translated Chinese posts. The old "WeChat: English meeting notices only" rule has been superseded, but check Compliance's current social media guide before posting, because the rules are still being updated. Row three: WhatsApp, Alignable, interactive blogs and personal accounts can't be used for National Life business.

下面是能发什么。可以说明自己是国家人寿的独立代理人;送保单的照片或视频,先取得客户同意,画面里不能有保单号或任何能识别身份的信息; 公益活动、团队会议的照片,画面里每个人都同意。配文只能是简单通用的句子,比如「又一个家庭有了保障」。不点名国家人寿或产品的一般性寿险、年金话题也可以发; 公司官方账号的内容可以原样转发,不能改动。

Underneath, what you can post. That you're an independent agent of National Life; a policy-delivery photo or video, with the client's consent and no policy number or anything identifying; charity events and team meetings, with everyone in the picture agreeing. Captions stay simple and generic, such as "another family protected". General posts on life insurance or annuities that don't name National Life or a product are fine, and official company content can be shared unaltered.

不能发的:产品名、附约名、国家人寿独有的功能,比如重大伤害、LIBR、GLIR。网上有人评论国家人寿,不要自己回应,转给合规部。 也不能批评国家人寿、其他经纪人、其他公司或产品。记住第二页那句话:写下来的会被原样引用。

What you can't post: product names, rider names, or features unique to National Life such as critical injury, LIBR or GLIR. If someone comments about National Life online, don't reply yourself; pass it to Compliance. And never criticise National Life, other agents, other companies or products. Remember slide two: what you write gets quoted exactly.

第一,打电话或者发短信之前,用 Agent Portal 上的工具核对三份「请勿致电」名单:联邦的 DNC、州的 DNC,包括各州的禁止致电节假日,以及国家人寿内部的 DNC 名单。 威斯康星州还要求电话推销员先登记。第二,按对方当地时间,早上 8 点以前、晚上 9 点以后,还有州假日,都不能打。电话推销时不能自称是国家人寿的代表。

First, before calling or texting, check three do-not-call lists with the Agent Portal tool: the federal DNC, the state DNC lists including each state's no-call holidays, and National Life's internal DNC list. Wisconsin also requires telephone solicitors to register. Second, by the recipient's local time, no calls before 8am, after 9pm, or on state holidays. When telemarketing, don't introduce yourself as a National Life representative.

第三,短信和商业邮件,只发给现有客户、持牌州内的潜在客户,以及招募时的持牌专业人士。第四,这一条最容易违反:不能发关于国家人寿或其产品的营销短信。 群发一条「国家人寿新产品上线」的短信,就已经违规了。

Third, texts and commercial email go only to existing clients, prospects in states where you're licensed, and, when recruiting, licensed professionals. Fourth, the one most often broken: no marketing texts about National Life or its products. A mass text announcing "National Life's new product is out" is already a violation.

第五,书面营销要标注「This is an advertisement」。从国家人寿域名发邮件,每封最多 20 位收件人,提到国家人寿的邮件每次发送前要过 UnsubCentral。 第六,自动拨号、群发机器短信和主动发传真,都需要事先取得对方书面的明示同意,这是联邦 TCPA 的要求。

Fifth, written marketing is marked "This is an advertisement". Email from National Life domains goes to at most 20 recipients at a time, and any email mentioning National Life is scrubbed through UnsubCentral before every send. Sixth, autodialers, robotexts and unsolicited faxes all need the recipient's prior express written consent under the federal TCPA.

这一页讲 3 分钟即可,重点是第二条时间和第四条营销短信。

Three minutes is enough here; stress the calling hours and the ban on marketing texts.

档案与隐私Files and Privacy: What to Keep, What Not To

要留(保单失效后至少 7 年)Keep (7+ years after the policy ends)

  • 所有往来,签名的送单回执
  • 用过的销售材料和演示
  • 需求分析表、签过的披露
  • 会面记录:日期、地点、方式、摘要
  • All correspondence, the signed delivery receipt
  • Sales material and illustrations used
  • Needs analysis, signed disclosures
  • Meeting notes: date, place, method, summary

不能留Don't keep

  • 医疗资料、体检化验、调查报告
  • 报税表、对客户的主观评价
  • 签了名的空白表格
  • 保单正本(复印件可以)
  • Medical records, exams, labs, investigative reports
  • Tax returns, subjective notes on the client
  • Signed blank forms
  • Original policies (copies are fine)

姓名 + 保单号、社安号、银行账号或驾照号 = 个人可识别信息;邮件加密、锁屏、碎纸,出事立即上报Name + policy, SSN, bank or licence number = PII; encrypt, lock screens, shred, report incidents at once

第五部分,资料与团队。先讲客户档案。投诉的时候,你的档案就是你的证据;但档案里留了不该留的,本身就是隐私风险。

Part five: records and the team. Client files first. When a complaint comes in, your file is your evidence; but keeping what you shouldn't is itself a privacy risk.

左边是要留的:和客户的所有往来;签了名的送单回执;用过的销售材料,包括通用的;需求分析表;签过的披露;会面记录,写明日期、地点、时间、方式和摘要; 用过的演示。保单不再有效之后,至少保存 7 年,各州要求不同。

On the left, what to keep: all correspondence with the client; the signed delivery receipt; sales material used, generic material included; the needs analysis; signed disclosures; meeting notes with date, place, time, method and a summary; and the illustrations used. Keep them at least seven years after the policy ends; states differ.

右边是不能留的:医疗资料,比如 APS、体检、化验、心电图;调查报告;报税表;你对客户的主观评价;签了名的空白表格;保单正本,复印件可以;其他正本。 PFA 的要求更进一步:填完申请后,资料要么还给客户、要么随申请交给 PFA 或保险公司,除非法律或公司要求,不留副本;必须留的,纸本锁在柜子里,电子档放在有权限控制的地方。

On the right, what not to keep: medical records such as APS, exams, labs and EKGs; investigative reports; tax returns; your subjective comments about the client; signed blank forms; original policies, though copies are fine; and other originals. PFA goes further: once the application is done, the papers go back to the client or in with the application to PFA or the carrier, and no copies are kept unless law or the company requires it. Anything you must keep is locked away on paper or held electronically with access controls.

最下面一行是隐私。姓名加上保单号、社安号、银行账号或驾照号中的任何一项,就是个人可识别信息。只收需要的;发邮件加密,发之前核对收件人; 不在公共场合或免提电话里谈客户资料;锁屏;不用的资料粉碎;旧电脑彻底抹除。丢失、误发、电脑被偷这类隐私事故,立即上报。 另外要警惕钓鱼邮件、冒充客户或公司的电话、客户突然改地址或要求付款到新账户,这些是账户盗用的典型信号。送单的流程和期限,见《新单与保全》。

The bottom line is privacy. A name plus any one of a policy number, SSN, bank account or driver's licence number is personally identifiable information. Collect only what you need; encrypt email and check the recipient before sending; don't discuss client data in public or on speakerphone; lock your screen; shred what you don't need; wipe old computers properly. Report privacy incidents such as loss, misdirected email or a stolen laptop immediately. Watch for phishing, calls impersonating a client or the company, and sudden address changes or requests to pay into a new account: these are the classic signs of account takeover. The delivery process and deadlines are in New Business.

问大家:手机微信里存着客户的驾照照片,算不算「留了不该留的」?应该怎么处理?

执照、继续教育与 E&OLicensing, CE and E&O

PFA 亲自出席培训PFA IN-PERSON TRAINING3 次3×每年至少a year, minimum
反洗钱训练AML TRAINING2 年2 yrs入职做一次,之后每两年at joining, then every two years
国家人寿合规手册NLG MANUAL2 年2 yrs每两年重新确认re-acknowledged every two years
  • 有效的居住州执照才能签约;去外州招揽,先拿非居民执照
  • E&O 必须是 PFA 认可的;理赔和投诉要报告 E&O 保险公司
  • 没有证券执照,不评论股票、基金或市场
  • 重罪定罪、认罪或被起诉,都要上报
  • A valid resident licence to contract; a non-resident licence before soliciting elsewhere
  • E&O must be PFA-approved; report claims and complaints to the E&O carrier
  • No securities licence: no comments on stocks, funds or markets
  • Report any felony conviction, plea or charge

这一页讲执照和持续的要求。执照不是考到就完了,要一直维护。

This slide is about licensing and the ongoing requirements. A licence isn't done once you pass; it has to be maintained.

上面三个数字。第一,除了州要求的继续教育,PFA 要求每年至少三次亲自出席的培训,内容是销售行为、反洗钱、合规手册或产品,并且要自己保存出席证明; 缺席会被罚款、降级、停发佣金,甚至终止。第二,反洗钱训练入职时做一次,之后每两年一次。第三,国家人寿的合规手册每两年要重新确认一次。

Three figures across the top. One: on top of state continuing education, PFA requires at least three in-person trainings a year, on sales practices, AML, the compliance manual or products, and you keep your own proof of attendance; missing them can mean fines, demotion, withheld commission or termination. Two: AML training when you join, then every two years. Three: National Life's compliance manual is re-acknowledged every two years.

下面四条。要有有效的居住州执照才能签约;去外州招揽之前,先拿那个州的非居民执照。NLIC 和 LSW 要分别委任。 E&O 必须是 PFA 认可的,也就是把 PFA 列为附加被保险人;入职时已经有外部 E&O 的,只能用到下一个 7 月 1 日续期为止;有理赔和投诉,要报告给 E&O 保险公司。

The four points below. You need a valid resident-state licence to contract, and a non-resident licence before soliciting in another state. NLIC and LSW need separate appointments. E&O must be PFA-approved, which means naming PFA as an additional insured; outside E&O held when you join only lasts until the next 1 July renewal. Report claims and complaints to your E&O carrier.

没有证券执照的寿险经纪人,不能评论股票、基金或市场,也不能建议客户卖投资来买保险。最后是联邦法 18 USC 1033:有涉及不诚实或背信的重罪记录, 没有州保险监理官的书面同意不能从事保险;重罪定罪或认罪要上报,被起诉也要上报。还有,不能向非家人的保单持有人借钱;离职后要归还或销毁客户资料,不能诱导客户替换保单。

A life agent without a securities licence can't comment on stocks, funds or markets, or suggest selling investments to buy insurance. Finally, federal law 18 USC 1033: anyone with a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust can't work in insurance without the state commissioner's written consent, and a felony conviction or plea must be reported, as must being charged. Also: never borrow money from a policyholder who isn't family, and on leaving, return or destroy client records and never induce clients to replace their policies.

招募的规矩Recruiting Rules

  • 先看对方适不适合,不适合的不邀请
  • 第一次接触可以邀请来听 FOS;招募在 FOS 之后、由已委任的伙伴当面做
  • 已持牌的同业:先问有没有竞业条款;介绍 FOS 前先签 Non-Solicitation 表
  • 线上申请、接受合约、付款,都由对方本人、用自己的卡
  • Assess fit first; don't invite someone it doesn't suit
  • First contact may invite to an FOS; recruiting happens after, in person, by an appointed associate
  • Licensed peers: ask about restrictive covenants; Non-Solicitation form before the FOS
  • They apply, accept and pay themselves, with their own card
  • 不花钱买人头:不给钱让人来听或加入($25 以下实际开销除外)
  • 不办「带人来就有奖」的比赛
  • 一个人只能有一个推荐人
  • 这是生意机会,不是一份工作;不夸大,不替人报名
  • Never pay people to attend or join (real costs under $25 excepted)
  • No "bring someone and win" contests
  • One person, one recruiter
  • A business opportunity, not a job; no exaggeration, no signing anyone up

前面第十一页讲了招募时什么话不能说,这一页讲招募时什么事不能做,都出自 PFA 手册。

Slide eleven covered what not to say when recruiting; this one covers what not to do, all from PFA's manual.

第一,先看适不适合。邀请之前,要评估对方的熟人市场适不适合做寿险,本人是否具备做金融服务的条件;不适合的不应该邀请。 第二,第一次接触可以用电话、社交媒体这些核准的方式,邀请对方来听 FOS;真正的招募,要在 FOS 之后,由已委任的伙伴当面进行。

One: assess fit first. Before inviting someone, consider whether their personal network suits life insurance and whether they're suited to financial services; if not, don't invite them. Two: the first contact can be by phone, social media or another approved channel, inviting them to an FOS; the actual recruiting happens after the FOS, in person, by an appointed associate.

第三,已经持牌的同业。先问清楚:对方是不是挂在别的 agency 或 IMO,有没有竞业或禁止招揽条款,是不是专属代理。专属或有限制条款的不要招。 在给对方介绍 FOS 之前,对方必须先签 PFA 的 Prospect Non-Solicitation Form,说明是他主动来了解的,表格由招募人保存。 第四,线上申请、接受合约、付款,全部由对方本人完成,必须用对方自己的卡;只有网站不能用时才用纸本,而且要有对方的书面同意。

Three: people already licensed in the industry. Ask first whether they're contracted with another agency or IMO, whether they have a non-compete or non-solicitation clause, and whether they're captive. Don't recruit captive agents or anyone with restrictive terms. Before you present the FOS, they must sign PFA's Prospect Non-Solicitation Form, confirming they came to learn on their own initiative, and the recruiter keeps it. Four: the online application, accepting the contract and payment are all done by the person themselves, with their own card; paper only when the website is down, and with their written consent.

右边四条。不花钱买人头:不能为了让人来听 FOS 或者加入而给钱,停车费这类 25 美元以下的实际开销除外;不能付钱给其他伙伴让他去招人。 不能办「带人来就有奖」的比赛。一个人只能有一个推荐人,要换推荐人,需要原推荐人签字释放,或者本人满 6 个月不活跃。 最后,这是生意机会,不是一份工作:不能把 PFA 说成一份工作,不能为了让人签约而夸大事实,不能在对方不知情的时候替他报名。

The four on the right. Don't buy recruits: no payment to get someone to attend an FOS or join, apart from real costs such as parking under $25, and no paying another associate to recruit for you. No "bring someone and win a prize" contests. One person has one recruiter; switching needs a signed release from the original recruiter or six months of inactivity. And this is a business opportunity, not a job: don't describe PFA as a job, don't exaggerate to get someone to sign, and never sign someone up without their knowledge.

  • 有未结的投诉或诉讼,不能保留总监级别
  • No point-shifting: no moving production between legs or to non-participants
  • Open complaints or litigation: no director title
  • 夫妻:两人都参与讲解才都签、才分佣
  • 不在场的一方不代签,不拿另一方的级差
  • Couples: both present, both sign, then both split
  • The absent spouse never signs or takes the other's override

这一页讲团队层面的规矩:晋升、保级、续保率,以及夫妻一起做。

This slide is about team-level rules: promotion, retaining a title, persistency, and married couples working together.

先看三个数字。第一,个人和团队的 24 个月滚动续保率至少 78.2%,执照不满 24 个月的按 12 个月计算。第二,新单成交率,也就是 placement,至少 70%。 年底续保率不达标,会失去旅游、奖金、奖金池、递延薪酬和晋升资格;奖金池另外要求续保率 80%。 第三,QFD 到 RFD 每年基础团队的净实收寿险业绩至少 50,000 美元,这是保级的门槛。这些是制度规定的门槛,不是对收入的说明。

Three figures first. One: a 24-month rolling persistency of at least 78.2%, personal and team, measured over 12 months if you've been licensed less than 24. Two: a placement rate of at least 70%. Miss persistency at year end and you lose eligibility for trips, bonuses, bonus pools, deferred compensation and promotion; bonus pools also require 80%. Three: from QFD to RFD, at least $50,000 a year of net paid life production in the base team, the threshold for keeping the title. These are thresholds in the rules, not statements about income.

下面左边:不准做点数。不能把跨团队、跨腿的分佣点数算进自己的晋升;不能把点数送给、转给没有实质参与的人;不能把业绩从原来的腿挪到别的腿。 违反的话,参与者的晋升都会被拒。没有按手册培训督导下线的总监,可能被降为 PFD 并留察 12 个月;有未结的客户投诉、监管投诉或诉讼,不能保留总监级别。 QFD 以上还要承诺:成为 CFT,出席 PFA 研讨会和大会,培训并督导整个下线合规。

Below left: no point-shifting. Don't count split points from another team or leg toward your own promotion; don't give or transfer points to someone who didn't genuinely take part; don't move production from its original leg to another. Do it, and every participant's promotion is refused. A director who doesn't train and supervise the downline as the manual requires can be demoted to PFD with 12 months' probation, and anyone with an open client complaint, regulatory complaint or lawsuit can't keep a director title. From QFD up, you also commit to becoming a CFT, attending PFA seminars and conventions, and training and supervising your whole downline on compliance.

右边,夫妻一起做。两人都参与讲解,两人都签申请;一个人单独讲,就由讲的那个人签。不在场的一方不能代签,也不能把单子转给没参与的一方; 不能一方拿另一方的级差,只有两人都在场参与时才能分佣。2026 年 PFA 推出了夫妻团队身份,Married Team Couple Status,经书面批准后可以共同获得表彰、合并点数, 但它不产生层级、下线转移或继承权利,具体以协议为准。

Below right, married couples. If both present, both sign the application; if one presents alone, that spouse signs. The absent spouse can't sign or have the case moved to them, and neither can take the other's override; commission is split only when both were present and took part. In 2026 PFA introduced Married Team Couple Status: with written approval, a couple can be recognised jointly and pool points, but it creates no hierarchy, downline transfer or succession rights, and the agreement governs.

讲师提醒Presenter's note

把续保率讲成「客户的事」:单子签得对、客户真的需要,续保率自然高。不要讲成「为了保级要盯着客户别退」。

Frame persistency as being about clients: cases written properly, for clients who genuinely need them, stay on the books. Don't frame it as "chase clients so they don't cancel, to keep your title".

投诉:48 小时Complaints: 48 Hours

1 · 立即转交1 · Forward at once

2 · 不要自己处理2 · Don't handle it alone

3 · 48 小时内交陈述3 · Statement in 48 hours

逐条回应,附档案证据,通知 E&O 保险公司Point by point, with your file, and tell your E&O carrier

遇到问题:先查手册 → 问 CFT、QFD 或 EFD → 发邮件给对应部门 → 最后才打电话给保险公司Questions: the manual → your CFT, QFD or EFD → email the right department → call the carrier last

第六部分,出了问题怎么办。先讲投诉,记住一个数字:48 小时。

Part six: when something goes wrong. Complaints first, and one number to remember: 48 hours.

什么是投诉?书面表达的不满,少数州口头的也算,比如明尼苏达和华盛顿州。第一步,立即转交:收到的投诉马上发给 complaints@nationallife.com,同时告诉你的主管。

What is a complaint? A written expression of dissatisfaction; in a few states, such as Minnesota and Washington, a verbal one counts too. Step one, forward it at once: send it to complaints@nationallife.com straight away and tell your supervisor.

第二步,不要自己处理。不要自己回复客户或者私下和解,包括 BBB 上的投诉;回复监管机构之前先联系合规部,如果州保险局只写信给你,回复以后把来信和回复都转给公司。 不要退佣金,也不要认错。很多人的第一反应是「我把佣金退给客户,这事就算了」,这恰恰是不能做的。

Step two, don't handle it alone. Don't reply to the client or settle privately, BBB complaints included; contact Compliance before answering any regulator, and if the state insurance department writes only to you, forward both its letter and your reply to the company. Don't refund commission and don't admit fault. Many people's first instinct is "I'll give the client my commission back and that's the end of it"; that's exactly what you must not do.

第三步,公司要求你陈述时,48 小时内交。逐条回应每一项指控,只讲事实,附上需求分析、会面记录这些档案证据;同时通知你的 E&O 保险公司。 投诉成立,可能撤单、退费、追回佣金。国家人寿的投诉里一半以上涉及销售环节,所以前面讲的那些档案和披露,就是你将来的证据。

Step three: when the company asks for your statement, deliver it within 48 hours. Answer every allegation point by point, facts only, with your needs analysis, meeting notes and the rest of your file attached, and notify your E&O carrier. A justified complaint can mean cancellation, a refund and a chargeback. More than half of National Life's complaints concern the sale, which is why the files and disclosures we covered earlier are your future evidence.

最下面是平时遇到问题找谁。业务问题按顺序:先查手册,再问你的 CFT、QFD 或 EFD,然后发邮件给对应部门,最后才打电话给保险公司,而且不问基础培训类的问题。 合规或道德问题,先找直属 QFD,再往上到上级 QFD、EFD,直到解决;也可以直接联系 PFA 合规,或者用匿名举报。善意举报的人受保护,公司对报复零容忍。

At the bottom, who to ask day to day. Business questions in order: check the manual, ask your CFT, QFD or EFD, email the relevant department, and only then call the carrier, and never with basic training questions. Compliance or ethics issues go to your direct QFD, then up through upline QFDs and the EFD until resolved; or straight to PFA compliance, or through the anonymous report. Good-faith reporters are protected, and retaliation has zero tolerance.

这一页讲最严重的一类问题:欺诈和伪造。

This slide covers the most serious category: fraud and forgery.

最上面这句一定要记住:经客户同意替他签名、签缩写或者电子签,一样是伪造。不是「客户说可以就可以」。 国家人寿手册列出的欺诈类型很多:身份盗用和账户接管、感情诈骗、洗钱、家人之间的欺诈、长者剥削;新单里的合成身份、预支佣金骗局、代写、清单式投保、申请不实;理赔欺诈;返佣。

Remember the line at the top: signing, initialling or e-signing for a client with their consent is still forgery. "The client said it was fine" doesn't make it fine. National Life's manual lists many kinds of fraud: identity theft and account takeover, romance scams, money laundering, fraud within families, elder exploitation; in new business, synthetic identities, commission-advance schemes, ghost writing, clean-sheeting and misrepresented applications; claims fraud; and rebating.

左边,除了代签,这些也不能做:把客户的通讯地址改成你的,直系亲属除外;让账单寄给你;冒充客户打电话或注册客户门户;未经授权操作客户账户; 签完以后修改文件;兑现付给保险公司或别人的支票。

On the left, besides signing for clients, never: change a client's mailing address to yours, immediate family aside; have their bills sent to you; pose as the client on the phone or register for their online account; act on an account without authority; alter documents after they're signed; or cash a cheque made out to the carrier or anyone else.

右边,长者或弱势成年人被剥削的红旗,弱势成年人也包括 18 到 64 岁行为能力受限的人:所有决定都由别人做;对照顾者表现出害怕或者特别顺从; 记忆和对话有问题;突然更改授权书、持有人或受益人;刚改完持有人就马上取钱;异常的断缴;高压推销。 有合理怀疑就必须报告,不是「可以」报告:SIU 的邮箱、合规部电话,或者 EthicsLine 匿名热线。

On the right, red flags for exploitation of seniors or vulnerable adults, which includes people aged 18 to 64 with limited capacity: someone else makes all the decisions; fear of, or unusual deference to, a carer; memory or conversation problems; sudden changes to a power of attorney, owner or beneficiary; withdrawals right after an ownership change; unusual lapses; high-pressure selling. A reasonable suspicion must be reported, not merely may be: the SIU mailbox, the compliance phone line, or the anonymous EthicsLine.

讲师提醒Presenter's note

讲到长者剥削时,提醒大家「家人陪同」本身不是红旗;红旗是陪同的人替客户做所有决定,客户自己说不出想要什么。

On elder exploitation, point out that a family member coming along isn't a red flag in itself; the red flag is when that person makes every decision and the client can't say what they want.

见客户前的八条自检Eight Checks Before an Appointment

  1. 要给他看的每一页,页脚有没有 For Agent Use Only
  2. 演示表保证那一栏,我打算怎么讲

These are eight questions to ask yourself in the two minutes before an appointment. Save a screenshot on your phone and run through it before you head out; it's for internal use, so don't forward it to clients.

第一,今天要给他看的每一页,页脚有没有 For Agent Use Only。第二,演示表保证那一栏,我打算怎么讲。 第三,「保底」这个词我今天要不要用,用的话后面那半句是什么。第四,客户是不是 60 岁以上:如果是,Free Look 是 30 天,有用词限制,要做适合性评估,到府拜访还要提前给通知。

One: does any page I'll show today say For Agent Use Only in the footer? Two: how will I explain the guaranteed column on the illustration? Three: will I use the word "guaranteed" today, and if so, what's the second half of the sentence? Four: is the client 60 or over? If so, the free look is 30 days, there are wording restrictions, a suitability review is needed, and a home visit needs advance notice.

第五,这一单涉不涉及替换,涉及的话表格备齐没有。第六,他问税务问题我怎么回,答案是:转给他的会计师。 第七,生前福利我有没有说成「额外给的钱」,它是从死亡赔偿金里预支的。第八,今天我有没有说过任何一家别的公司的坏话。

Five: does this case involve a replacement, and if so, are the forms ready? Six: how will I answer a tax question? The answer: refer them to their CPA. Seven: have I made living benefits sound like extra money? They're an advance on the death benefit. Eight: did I say anything negative about another company today?

八个问题都能答上来,你今天就可以放心去见客户了。

If you can answer all eight, you're ready to see the client.

The last slide. After today, many of you will remember saying one or two of those lines. That isn't a disaster, but it needs handling.

左边,还没签单的:下次见面或者下一通电话里,主动更正一次。可以这样说:「上次我有句话说得不准确,我重新讲一遍。」 主动更正永远比被动解释好。客户通常不会因此不签,反而会因为你肯纠正而更信你。

On the left, if the case isn't signed yet: correct it yourself at the next meeting or on the next call. You can say: "Something I said last time wasn't accurate. Let me go over it again." Correcting yourself is always better than explaining yourself later. Clients rarely walk away over it; more often they trust you more for it.

右边,已经签了的:保单还在 Free Look 期内,主动把准确的版本讲清楚,让客户在知情的情况下决定去留。已经过了 Free Look 的,同样要讲, 并且把这次沟通记下来:日期、说了什么。如果客户明确表示不满,不要自己处理,按前面投诉那一页的流程,报给上线和公司合规部门。

On the right, if it's already signed: while the policy is still in its free look, explain the accurate version and let the client decide whether to keep it, fully informed. If the free look has passed, explain it anyway, and record the conversation: the date and what was said. If the client is clearly unhappy, don't handle it alone; follow the complaint steps from earlier and report it to your upline and the company's compliance department.

最后送大家一句话:这份工作的长期资产只有两样,执照,和客户的信任。两样都是一句话就能毁掉的,也都是任何一单佣金都换不回来的。 讲准确一点,多花不了三十秒。

One thought to take with you: this job has only two lasting assets, your licence and your clients' trust. Either can be destroyed by a single sentence, and no commission can buy either back. Saying it accurately takes thirty seconds more.

一、为什么要守这些规矩1. Why these rules matter

两本手册的检验标准都是黄金法则:如果你是客户,你会希望经纪人这样对你吗?做决定前问自己:合法吗?合乎道德吗?会伤害客户吗?敢不敢讲给家人或媒体听?长远看有没有害?我能为此负责吗? 违规的后果从再培训、监督、调整佣金、警告、罚款,一直到降级、追回佣金和因故解约。

Both manuals use the Golden Rule as the test: would you want to be treated this way as the client? Before deciding, ask: is it legal, ethical, harmful to clients? Would you be comfortable telling your family or the media? Any long-run harm? Can you be accountable for it? Consequences range from retraining, monitoring, commission adjustment, warnings and fines to demotion, chargebacks and termination for cause.

前半部分讲的那十来句话,不是谁存心要骗人。它们大多流行于 2023、2024 年, 当时整个行业都这么讲,而且讲的人自己是真心相信的;话一代代传下来,中间那句「大概」「通常」掉了。 问题在于,监管看的不是你的动机,是你说出口的那句话。

The dozen or so lines in the first half weren't invented to mislead anyone. Most took hold in 2023 and 2024, when the whole industry talked that way, and the people saying them believed them; the phrasing was passed along until the "roughly" and the "typically" fell out. The trouble is that the regulator doesn't weigh your intentions. It reads the sentence you said.

代价不对称

The costs aren't symmetric

说得准确一点,最多是这一单慢几天; 说错一句,可能是保单被撤销、佣金被追回、执照被暂停。 一句话换一张执照,这笔账怎么算都不划算。

Saying it accurately costs you, at worst, a few days on this case. Saying it wrongly can cost the policy, the commission and the licence. One sentence against your licence is never a trade worth taking.

留痕比你想的多

More of it is on the record than you think

微信记录、朋友圈截图、讲座录像、小红书帖子、群里转发的那张图, 都是证据。客户几年后觉得不对劲去投诉,翻出来的就是这些。 口头说的会被记错,写下来的会被原样引用。

WeChat threads, screenshots, seminar recordings, a post, an image someone forwarded to a group: all of it is evidence. When a client feels wronged years later and complains, this is what gets pulled up. What you say can be misremembered; what you wrote gets quoted exactly.

加州对 60 岁以上更严

California is stricter above 60

加州法律明文禁止对 60 岁以上的客户使用「保证回报」「无风险」这类字眼, 也禁止贬低同业。年金卖给 65 岁以上而没做适合性评估的,交易可能被直接宣告无效。 细节见执照考试重点第十一节。

California prohibits phrases like "guaranteed return" and "no risk" with clients aged 60 and over, and prohibits disparaging other carriers. An annuity sold to someone over 65 without a suitability review can be declared void outright. The detail is in section eleven of the exam prep page.

准确的说法一样好卖

The accurate version still sells

下面每一句都给了替代说法。你会发现改过之后并没有变弱。 「下跌年份不记负数」本来就比「保底 6-7%」更容易讲清楚, 客户听懂了才会签,听不懂的签了也会退。

Every line below comes with a replacement, and you'll find the accurate version isn't weaker. "A down year is credited zero, not a negative" explains itself better than "a guaranteed 6–7%". Clients sign what they understood; what they didn't understand, they cancel.

二、最常见的十二句2. The twelve that recur

左边是常见的说法,中间是问题出在哪,右边是可以怎么说。

On the left is what people commonly say. In the middle is what's wrong with it. On the right is what to say instead.

常见说法What people say 问题The problem 改成Say instead
「6–7% 平均保底年回报率」"A 6–7% average guaranteed annual return" 保证的是不记负数,不是 6–7%。把两件事合成一句,就成了保证收益What's guaranteed is no negative crediting, not 6–7%. Fusing the two states a guaranteed return 「下跌的年份计 0%,不往下扣;长期平均是多少要看指数和上限,演示表上写的是假设」"A down year credits zero rather than a loss. What the long-run average turns out to be depends on the index and the cap; the figure on the illustration is an assumption"
「保本投资」"A principal-protected investment" IUL 不是投资产品,是寿险。而且保单成本会持续扣,「保本」这个词会让客户以为现金值只会涨An IUL is life insurance, not an investment. Costs are deducted continuously, and "protected" leads a client to think the cash value can only rise 「这是一张有现金值的寿险保单。指数不亏本金,但保单成本每个月照扣,所以早期现金值会低于已缴保费」"This is a life policy with a cash value. The index can't take principal, but policy charges come out every month, so early cash value is below premiums paid"
「免税退休养老金」"A tax-free retirement income" 靠的是保单贷款,而贷款免税的前提是保单一直有效到身故。断保会触发应税事件It works through policy loans, and a loan's tax-free character depends on the policy staying in force to death. A lapse is a taxable event 「用保单贷款取钱,只要保单维持到身故就不产生所得税;如果中途断保,之前取的钱要补税」"Income comes out as a policy loan, which creates no income tax as long as the policy is kept in force to death. If it lapses, what you took becomes taxable."
「生病赔 50–90 万」(100 万保额)"Pays $500–900k on illness" (on a $1M face) 生前福利是折现预支,实际数额由公司按病情、年龄、剩余寿命计算,签单时给不出Accelerated benefits are a discounted advance; the carrier computes the amount from the condition, age and life expectancy. It can't be quoted at sale 「触发之后可以预支一部分死亡赔偿,具体多少由公司按当时情况算,条款里有算法,我们可以一起看」"Once triggered you can advance part of the death benefit. The amount is computed by the carrier at that time; the method is in the rider and we can read it together"
「1 块换 5.57 块,杠杆高」"One dollar buys $5.57, high leverage" 这个倍数来自一份特定年龄、性别、体况、缴费方式的演示表,换个人就不成立That multiple comes from one illustration at one age, sex, rate class and funding pattern. Change any of them and it doesn't hold 「按你的年龄和体况跑一份演示表出来看,每个人的数字不一样」"Let's run an illustration on your age and rate class. The number is different for everyone"
「保证额外 15% 利息增长」"A guaranteed extra 15% interest" 那是对当年所记利息的加成比例,不是 15 个百分点。当年记 0%,加成也是 0That's a percentage uplift on whatever was credited, not fifteen points. Credit zero and the bonus is zero 「有一个利息加成,把当年记到的利息再乘上一个比例;那一年记 0,加成也是 0」"There's a bonus that multiplies the interest credited that year. In a zero year the bonus is also zero"
「零就是英雄」"Zero is your hero" 口号本身没错,但常被用来暗示「0 的年份不亏」。保单成本那一年照扣,现金值会降The slogan is fine, but it gets used to imply a zero year costs nothing. Charges still come out, and the cash value falls 「指数那部分不记负数,但保单成本照扣,所以 0 的年份现金值还是会往下走一点」"The index side doesn't go negative, but the charges still apply, so a zero year does move the cash value down a little"
「保证不断保」"Guaranteed never to lapse" 保证来自某个特定附约,有自己的条件(按时足额缴费、不超额贷款等)。省掉条件就成了无条件承诺The guarantee comes from a particular rider and carries its own conditions (pay on time and in full, don't over-borrow). Drop the conditions and it becomes unconditional 「有一个保证期条款,只要满足它写的缴费条件,这段时间内保单不会失效;条件在这里」"There's a guaranteed-period rider: meet the funding conditions it states and the policy won't lapse during that period. Here are the conditions"
「1997 年存 10 万,今天 30 万,比标普还高」"$100k in 1997 is $304k today, ahead of the S&P" 用今天的产品参数去回算历史(back-cast),那张保单当年并不存在;且拿保单现金值跟不含费用的指数直接比Back-casting today's product parameters over history, for a policy that didn't exist then, and comparing a net-of-charges cash value against a gross index 「这是用现在的参数回算历史,不是当年真实存在的保单,只能当成一种参考」"This is today's parameters applied backwards, not a policy anyone actually held. Treat it as illustrative only"
「给老保单做免费升级」"A free upgrade for an existing policy" 替换从来不免费:新保单重新起算成本、重新起算不可异议期与自杀条款,旧单可能有退保费用A replacement is never free: new acquisition costs, a fresh contestability and suicide period, and possibly a surrender charge on the old policy 「可以比较看看要不要换。换的代价有这几项,我们一条条算完再决定」"We can compare and see. Here's what switching costs, item by item, and then we decide"
「别家公司只有……我们才有……」"Other carriers only have… we're the only ones with…" 贬低同业在加州属于 §790.03 明文禁止的 Defamation;而且产品条款每年在变,「只有我们」很快就不成立Disparaging another insurer is defamation under §790.03; and rider terms change yearly, so "only we have it" ages fast 「这张保单的条款是这样写的」。讲自己的,不评论别人的"Here is what this policy's rider says." Describe yours; don't characterise theirs
「我第一年做了 X 万」「哪个公司给年薪 7 万的人发 3 万奖励」"I made $X in year one" · "What employer gives a $70k earner a $30k bonus?" 对未入行的人展示具体收入=收入承诺。这是招募场景里最容易踩的一条Showing specific earnings to someone not yet licensed is an earnings representation. It's the easiest line to cross when recruiting 「佣金制度是公开的,我可以把规则讲给你听;做多少取决于你自己」(四种收入)"The compensation rules are published and I can walk you through them. What you earn depends on you." (Four incomes)

三、「保底」这两个字3. The word "guaranteed"

这是全部问题里最要紧的一个,因为它出现得最多, 而且中文的「保底」比英文的 floor 含糊得多。 英文说 a 0% floor,指的是指数那一格不会记成负数, 范围只限于指数记息这一件事。中文说「保底 6–7%」,听的人理解成的是 「最少也有 6–7%」。这是两个完全不同的承诺,后者在美国没有任何寿险产品做得到。

This is the one that matters most, because it recurs the most and because the Chinese word carries far more than the English "floor". In English, a 0% floor means the index bucket will not be credited a negative number, and nothing more. Said in Chinese as "guaranteed 6–7%", it lands as "you'll get at least 6–7%". Those are entirely different promises, and no US life product delivers the second one.

保证的Actually guaranteed不保证的Not guaranteed
指数那一格不记负数(0% 下限)The index bucket is never credited negative (0% floor)长期平均回报率The long-run average return
合同里写明的最低固定利率(固定账户那一格)The contractual minimum on the fixed bucket上限(Cap)和参与率:公司可以在合同区间内调Caps and participation rates, which the carrier can move inside the contract's bounds
死亡赔偿金(保单有效时)The death benefit, while the policy is in force现金值能滚到多少How much cash value accumulates
某些附约写明的保证期A guaranteed period stated in a specific rider保单成本(保证栏与当前栏是两个数)The cost of insurance (the guaranteed column and the current column are different numbers)
年度重置:今年的年末值就是明年的起点The annual reset: this year's ending value is next year's starting point贷款利率(除非选的是固定利率那一种)The loan rate, unless the fixed-rate option is elected

演示表上「保证」和「当前」是两栏。 跟客户讲的时候把两栏都指给他看,这一条就自动讲清楚了。 记息机制见指数策略, 成本构成见保单成本。

An illustration has two columns, guaranteed and current. Point at both and this whole section explains itself. Crediting mechanics are on the index strategy page; the cost structure is on the policy costs page.

四、演示表不是预测4. An illustration is not a forecast

演示表(illustration)是按一组假设算出来的: 假设指数每年都这么涨、假设上限一直不变、假设你每年都按时缴、假设保单成本按「当前」而不是「保证」那一栏走。 它是监管要求必须提供的说明文件,不是对未来的承诺,也不是对过去的记录。

An illustration is computed off a set of assumptions: that the index does this every year, that the cap never moves, that you fund it on schedule, and that charges follow the "current" column rather than the "guaranteed" one. It is a disclosure document the regulator requires. It is not a promise about the future and not a record of the past.

三句一定要跟着说

Three sentences that go with it

① 这是假设,不是保证。② 保证那一栏在这里,我们也看一遍。 ③ 实际结果会跟这张表不一样。这三句说完,你后面讲什么都安全。

① This is an assumption, not a guarantee. ② Here is the guaranteed column; let's read that too. ③ The actual outcome will differ from this page. Say those three and everything after them is safe.

不要做的三件事

Three things not to do

不要把演示表上的数字说成「回报率」; 不要只截图现金值那一列发出去; 不要拿保单的净值去跟不含任何费用的指数曲线并排比。

Don't call a number on the page a "return"; don't screenshot the cash-value column alone and send it; and don't line a net-of-charges policy value up against a gross index curve.

演示怎么用、怎么签

Using and signing illustrations

基本演示含保证和非保证两栏;补充演示必须引用基本演示(经纪人自己做的补充演示要合规批准);in-force 演示在保单满 1 年后使用。 用了演示且按演示出单:经纪人和申请人签名、日期,随申请提交并给客户一份。没用演示或出单不同:勾选相应选项,送单时签公司寄来的符合版本。纽约州一律要签基本演示。年金也建议附演示(签最后一页)。

A basic illustration shows guaranteed and non-guaranteed columns; supplemental illustrations must reference the basic one (agent-made supplements need compliance approval); in-force illustrations are used after year one. If an illustration was used and the policy issues as illustrated, agent and applicant sign and date it, submit it with the app and give the client a copy. If none was used or the policy issues differently, tick the box and have the conforming version signed at delivery. New York always requires a signed basic illustration. Annuity illustrations are recommended (sign the last page).

讲演示的顺序:先讲保证值,再讲非保证值,并展示包括保证利率在内的多个利率;所有页面按顺序给全。演示本身就是销售材料,不能改动。

Present guaranteed values first, then non-guaranteed, showing several rates including the guaranteed one, with every page in order. An illustration is sales material and can't be altered.

五、「免税」有前提5. "Tax-free" has conditions

这件事This前提是Holds only if
死亡赔偿金不缴所得税The death benefit is free of income tax一般成立;但如果受保人自己持有保单、遗产是受益人、或身故前三年内转让过,它仍可能计入遗产Generally true, but it can still be in the estate if the insured owned the policy, the estate is the beneficiary, or it was transferred within three years of death
保单贷款不缴所得税Policy loans aren't taxed保单维持有效到身故。断保或退保时,累积贷款与增值会一起结算The policy stays in force to death. On lapse or surrender, the loans and the gain settle up together
现金值延税增长Cash value grows tax-deferred延税不等于免税。退保时超过已缴保费的部分按普通收入课税Deferred is not free. On surrender, anything above premiums paid is ordinary income
取钱先取本金不课税Withdrawals come out of basis first前提是这张保单不是 MEC。一旦触发七付测试成为 MEC,顺序反过来(先出利息、先课税),59½ 前另加 10% 罚款Only if the policy is not a MEC. Once the seven-pay test is failed the order reverses (gain first, taxed first), plus 10% before 59½
生前福利的理赔不课税Living benefit payouts aren't taxed绝症理赔有明确依据;慢性、重疾、重伤这几类的税务处理要看具体条款与个人情况,不能一概说成免税。让客户问自己的会计师The terminal case has clear authority. Chronic, critical and injury benefits depend on the rider and the individual's facts, so they can't all be called tax-free. Send the client to their own CPA

细节见保单贷款与 生前福利。 凡是客户问到具体税务后果的,标准动作是转给他的会计师或税务师, 我们不给税务意见。

The detail is on the policy loans page and the living benefits page. Whenever a client asks what the tax consequence will be, the standard move is to refer them to their own accountant. We don't give tax advice.

六、生前福利到底赔多少6. What living benefits actually pay

常听到的那些数字,比如「提前理赔约 $75 万」「约 $14,000/月」「$80–90 万」, 是某一份特定保单在某一组假设下的示例,不是条款给出的承诺。 实际预支金额由保险公司在触发时计算,主要看三件事: 触发的是哪一类(绝症、慢性、重疾、重伤)、当时的剩余寿命评估、以及保单当时的状态。 预支的钱是从死亡赔偿金里扣的,不是额外给的。这一点客户最容易误解,也最该讲清楚。

The figures you often hear, such as "about $750,000 advanced", "about $14,000 a month", "$800–900k", are examples from one policy under one set of assumptions. They are not what the rider promises. The actual advance is computed by the carrier at the time of the trigger, and turns mainly on three things: which category triggered (terminal, chronic, critical, injury), the life expectancy assessed then, and the state of the policy. What is advanced comes out of the death benefit, it is not added to it. This is the point clients most often get wrong, and the one most worth spelling out.

两个时钟别混在一起Two clocks, not one

慢性病那一类有两个不同的时间条件:一个是条款的等待期 (保单生效后多久才能用),另一个是失能状态要持续多久 (例如无法独立完成六项日常生活行为中的两项、且持续 90 天)。 把它们合并成一句「等待期 90 天」,会让客户对自己什么时候能拿到钱产生错误预期。

The chronic category has two separate time conditions: the rider's waiting period (how long after issue before it can be used) and how long the impairment must persist (for instance, unable to perform two of six activities of daily living, for 90 days). Collapsing these into one "90-day waiting period" leaves a client with the wrong expectation about when money arrives.

七、产品叫什么:寿险不是投资7. Naming the product: life insurance is not an investment

一开始就说明你是保险经纪人和你代表的公司;有双重身份(地产经纪、会计师)的不能搭售。所有步骤都在美国境内,经纪人和客户亲身在场(外籍人士见《外籍人士投保》)。 LSW 在 49 个州和华盛顿特区营业(不含纽约);不在波多黎各、关岛、美属维尔京群岛等属地营业。

Say up front that you're an insurance agent and which company you represent; dual roles (realtor, CPA) can't be tied together. Every step happens in the US with both parties present (foreign nationals: see Foreign Nationals). LSW operates in DC and 49 states (not New York); neither company operates in Puerto Rico, Guam, the USVI or other territories.

绝对不能用的说法

Words you can never use

不能叫它Never call it应该叫它Call it
寿险 =「投资」「投资计划」「私人退休金」「退休计划」「教育计划」「储蓄计划」「免税退休计划」Life insurance = "investment", "investment plan", "private pension", "retirement plan", "college plan", "savings plan", "tax-free retirement plan"寿险(life insurance),首要目的是身故保障Life insurance, whose primary purpose is the death benefit
年金 =「投资」「共同基金」「CD」Annuity = "investment", "mutual fund", "CD"年金,长期退休产品An annuity, a long-term retirement product
保费或现金值 =「存款」「储蓄」「投资」Premium or cash value = "deposit", "savings", "investment"保费、现金值Premium, cash value
ABR =「长期护理」「比 LTC 更好」ABR = "long-term care", "better than LTC"提前给付附约;只用公司批准的对比单张Accelerated benefit rider; use only approved comparison flyers
「IUL」「VUL」等缩写和行话Jargon like "IUL", "VUL"用保单上的正式名称The policy's own terminology
「保费会消失」(vanishing premium)"Vanishing premium"说明可能每年都要交Explain premiums may be needed every year

四个在所有州都要避免的词:没执照时自称「理财规划师」;把寿险称为「投资」;把非保证的东西说成「保证」;把保费叫做「存款」。

Four words to avoid in every state: calling yourself a financial planner without the licence; calling life insurance an "investment"; calling non-guaranteed items "guaranteed"; calling premiums "deposits".

还要讲清楚:风险、限制、除外责任;保证与非保证;退保费;贷款和提取会减少现金值和保额,保单失效时可能要交税。卖什么就服务什么,至少每年见一次。

Also disclose risks, limitations and exclusions; guaranteed vs non-guaranteed; surrender charges; and that loans and withdrawals reduce cash value and death benefit and may be taxable on lapse. Service what you sell, at least once a year.

八、收入、招募、朋友圈8. Income, recruiting, social posts

招募场景下最容易越界,因为对方还没有执照,而你想让他相信这件事值得做。 但对未持照的人展示具体收入数字,就是收入承诺, 不管你加没加「仅供参考」。所以本站讲收入只讲制度本身,不放任何个人数字。

Recruiting is where the line gets crossed most, because the person isn't licensed yet and you want them to believe this is worth doing. But showing specific earnings to someone unlicensed is an earnings representation, whatever disclaimer you attach. That's why this site covers only the mechanism and carries no individual figures.

可以讲的

Fine to say

佣金制度怎么算(佣金阶梯)、 晋升条件是什么(成长路径)、 收入有哪四种来源(四种收入)、 入行要花多少钱(执照指南)。 规则是公开的,讲规则永远安全。

How compensation is computed (the commission ladder), what promotion requires (the growth path), the four income sources (four incomes), and what getting licensed costs (the licensing guide). The rules are published; explaining rules is always safe.

不要讲的

Leave out

自己或别人的具体收入、奖金金额、旅游奖励的价值、 「几个月就能做到 X」、别人家公司的坏话、 以及任何把这件事描述成「稳赚」「轻松」的说法。

Your own or anyone else's actual earnings, bonus amounts, the cash value of an incentive trip, "you can hit X in a few months", anything negative about another company, and any framing of this as easy or assured.

九、见客户之前:资格与客户身份9. Before the meeting: your eligibility and the client's ID

自己独立见客户之前,七样都要齐:客户所在州的寿险执照;CFT(或 CSA)课程;旁观过至少 3 张 CFT 的培训单;和 CFT 完成实习单;PFA 的 E&O; 被该产品的保险公司委任;继续教育与反洗钱训练都在有效期内。

Before presenting on your own, all seven: a life licence in the client's state; the CFT (or CSA) course; at least three training sales observed with a CFT; supervised sales completed with a CFT; PFA E&O; appointment with the carrier; current CE and AML training.

十、适当性与披露:先了解,再推荐10. Suitability and disclosure: understand first, then recommend

推荐只能基于适当性。手册要求先用机密客户问卷(CCQ)或同类表格收集:净资产、收入与可支配收入、家庭与抚养、年龄健康与退休年龄、 储蓄目标与风险承受、现有保险、退休账户;然后做需要分析(寿险、健康/伤残/长照、未来开支、风险承受)。团队的空白信息表就是按这个顺序做的。

Recommendations rest on suitability alone. The manual requires a confidential client questionnaire (CCQ) or equivalent first, covering net worth, income and disposable income, family and dependants, age, health and retirement age, savings goals and risk tolerance, existing cover, retirement accounts, and then a needs analysis (life; health, disability and LTC; future expenses; risk tolerance). The team's blank intake sheets follow this order.

每张单都要让客户书面确认

What the client confirms in writing

  • 买的是保险或年金,不是证券或投资
  • It's insurance or an annuity, not a security or investment
  • 除了演示中的保证值,没有人承诺过任何回报
  • No return was promised beyond the illustration's guarantees
  • 主要特点(利益、费用、附约、退保费)已经解释过
  • Key features (benefits, costs, riders, surrender charges) were explained
  • 替换时:为了新产品的哪些好处而替换
  • If replacing: which new benefits justify it
  • 从退休计划转入年金:年金在计划内没有额外税务好处,购买是为了其他功能,费用已说明
  • Moving plan money into an annuity: there is no extra tax benefit inside a plan; it was bought for other features, with costs disclosed
  • 签发前改了方案:已经看过新的演示
  • If the application changed before issue: a new illustration was shown

十一、利益冲突、不公平交易与返佣11. Conflicts, unfair trade practices and rebating

利益冲突:禁止

Conflicts: prohibited

为非直系亲属客户担任受托人、继任受托人、授权代理人、监护人、遗嘱执行人、董事或送达代理人;提供税务或法律建议; 成为非亲属客户保单的持有人、受让人或受益人;让家人或同事去做你自己不能做的事。

Serving a non-family client as trustee, successor trustee, attorney-in-fact, guardian, executor, director or agent for service; giving tax or legal advice; being owner, assignee or beneficiary on a non-family client's policy; having family or associates do what you can't.

不公平交易(NAIC 880 号示范法)

Unfair trade practices (NAIC Model 880)

虚假陈述利益、分红或公司财务;把保单说成「股票」;为促成断保或替换而报错保费;诋毁其他公司、产品或其销售做法;返佣; 只卖保险却自称「理财规划师」「投资顾问」「理财顾问」。收费做规划必须事先签书面协议(写明服务、费用、无购买义务,保存 3 年)。 解释保单、办理变更和理赔属于经纪人的本分,不能收费。

Misrepresenting benefits, dividends or financial condition; calling a policy "shares of stock"; misquoting premium to induce a lapse or replacement; disparaging other insurers, products or their marketing; rebating; calling yourself a "financial planner", "investment adviser" or "consultant" when you only sell insurance. Fee-based planning needs a prior signed agreement (services, fee, no obligation to buy; keep three years). Explaining policies, processing changes and helping with claims are part of the job, so no fees.

返佣与送礼:把部分保费或佣金、礼物、服务、折扣作为诱因,在多数州违法,公司也禁止。只能送各州允许的小额礼品,不附条件,说好送就要送,即使对方没听讲解。

Rebating and gifts: offering part of the premium or commission, gifts, services or discounts as an inducement is illegal in most states and banned by National Life. Only nominal gifts within state limits, with no strings: if offered, give it even if they skip the presentation.

十二、面谈、申请与签名12. Meetings, applications and signatures

规定Rule说明Detail
写单代理人要实质参与The writing agent must participate至少一位参与讲解的人签申请;所有分佣的人都要参与并签申请;不能把单子挂到没参与的人名下(包括为了凑晋升)At least one presenter signs; everyone sharing commission participated and signs; never assign a case to someone who wasn't there, including to help a promotion
无照学员只旁观Unlicensed trainees observe only无照学员可以在场学习,但不能参与讲解An unlicensed trainee may watch but not take part in presenting
当面、一次一位客户In person, one client at a time所有讲解都当面做,一次只面对一位客户Every presentation is in person, to one client at a time
你是现场核保员You're the field underwriter评估客户的外表、年龄、健康、住所、生活方式、资金来源,确保申请如实。不能「clean sheet」:每题都问、「没有病史」要再确认。保险公司会查处方药数据库和 MIB,理赔时发现重大隐瞒,代理人可能被终止委任,PFA 也会处分Assess appearance, age, health, residence, lifestyle and source of funds so the application is truthful. No clean-sheeting: ask every question, and confirm any "no medical history". Carriers check prescription databases and MIB; material misrepresentation found at claim can end your appointment and draw PFA discipline
电子签名当着你的面签E-signatures in your presence客户本人在你面前电子签名;你不能替客户签,除非有经公证、原件随申请递交的授权书The client e-signs in front of you; you never sign for them unless a notarised power of attorney, original enclosed, authorises it
保费只收保单持有人或被保人的Premium only from owner or insured不收现金;只收抬头为保险公司的支票或给保险公司的扣款授权No cash; only cheques payable to the carrier or draft instructions to the carrier
不回扣No rebating不承诺把佣金的任何部分返给客户或其他人;不承诺给无照的转介人任何费用Never promise any part of the commission back to the client or anyone else; never promise a fee to an unlicensed referrer
不说「只要交几年」Never "you only pay for X years"除非合同书面保证,否则不能说任何产品只需缴几年保费Unless contractually guaranteed in writing, never say a product needs only a certain number of years of premium
列出所有现有保单List all existing cover申请上写明客户所有现有保单的保额,以及是否替换Show every existing policy's face amount on the application and whether it's being replaced
内部替换Internal replacement不能在签发一年内、对客户没有明显好处的情况下,替换另一位 PFA 伙伴写的保单;不能劝客户让旧单失效来绕过替换申报。签发满一年且无追回时,内部替换才有佣金No replacing another PFA associate's policy within a year of issue without clear client benefit; no encouraging a lapse to avoid disclosing a replacement. An internal replacement earns commission only after a year, with no chargeback
一次卖多张More than one product at once同一次面谈卖多个产品,每个产品都要有客户披露表Selling several products in one meeting needs a disclosure form for each
自己和家人的单Your own and family sales卖给自己、配偶、子女的单不算培训单,佣金只按实收发、不预支;PFA 伙伴本人及其配偶子女的单同样只按实收Sales to yourself, spouse or children don't count as training sales and are paid as earned, no advance; the same applies to sales to any associate and their spouse and children
培训单不能「重写」Training sales stay put拿到执照后,不能把以前别人写的培训单取消、重写或替换成自己的Once licensed, you may not cancel, rewrite or replace training sales you weren't the writing agent on
按时送保单Deliver on time保单要当面送达(除非用保险公司的电子交付):讲解保障、留下保单、保单摘要与购买指南,签齐回执与修正页并尽快交回。国家人寿:签发后 75 天未送达,可能被撤销并全额追回佣金Deliver in person unless using the carrier's e-delivery: review the cover, leave the policy, summary and buyer's guide, get the receipt and amendments signed and returned promptly. National Life may cancel policies undelivered after 75 days, with a full chargeback

National Life's application rules

十三、收保费与反洗钱13. Premium and anti-money-laundering

接受Accepted不接受Not accepted
EFT、电话付款、个人或企业支票、电汇、银行支票、网上付款、汇票(年金不收,须审批),都必须是美国银行的美元EFT, pay-by-phone, personal or business checks, wires, bank checks, web payments, money orders (not for annuities, subject to approval), all USD from a US bank现金、经纪人或代理公司的支票、信用卡、不记名债券、外币、旅行支票Cash, agent or agency checks, credit cards, bearer bonds, foreign currency, traveller's checks

现金等价物每位付款人/被保险人/持有人/家庭每滚动 12 个月合计不超过 $10,000(单张超过 $10,000 的本票或银行支票除外),须客户自己购买,交给经纪人时填 Form 7953。 不能替客户买、不能替非家人交保费或还贷、不能存进自己的账户、不能收合同以外的钱。

Cash equivalents: no more than $10,000 per payor/insured/owner/household per rolling 12 months (single cashier's or treasurer's checks over $10,000 excepted), bought by the client, with Form 7953 when handed to the agent. Never buy them for clients, pay premiums or loans for non-family clients, deposit premiums in your account, or collect money beyond the contract.

反洗钱红旗(USA PATRIOT Act 第 326、352 条):犹豫期内退保的规律;反复贷款;多张现金等价物;资金超出已知收入;不在乎退保费;无理由用多个家人或公司名义开户; 把大额拆成小额(structuring);想用现金交大额保费又没有支票账户;只关心提前解约条款、不关心表现。有怀疑立即上报。公司来问 AML 的事要保密,绝不能透露给客户。

AML red flags (USA PATRIOT Act §§326, 352): free-look surrender patterns; repeated loans; multiple cash equivalents; inflows beyond known income; indifference to surrender charges; multiple accounts in family or company names without reason; structuring; wanting to pay a large premium in cash with no checking account; interest in early-termination features rather than performance. Report suspicions at once. AML questions from the company are confidential: never tip off the client.

反洗钱小测验:这三个案例哪里有问题?

AML quiz: what's wrong in these three cases?

情况Situation问题在哪The problem
餐馆员工收入主要是现金小费,年缴保费 $10,000 全用汇票A restaurant worker paid mostly in cash tips pays a $10,000 annual premium entirely in money orders碰到每户每滚动 12 个月 $10,000 的现金等价物上限;有支票账户就不该用现金等价物Hits the $10,000 per household per rolling 12 months cash-equivalent limit; anyone with a checking account shouldn't pay in cash equivalents
现金生意的一家人,同一户三张保单($15,000 / $10,000 / $5,000),$24,000 用汇票、其余用支票A cash-heavy family business: three policies in one household ($15,000 / $10,000 / $5,000), $24,000 paid in money orders and the rest by check拆单(structuring),而且同一户超过上限Structuring, and over the household limit
$10,000 的 IUL,每季度借 $2,500,下个月用汇票还A $10,000 IUL with a $2,500 loan every quarter, repaid the next month by money order反复贷款 + 现金等价物还款,是典型红旗,应上报Repeated loans repaid in cash equivalents, a classic red flag to report

国家人寿合规部分四个组:广告指导(AGT)、监管与风险指导、销售行为指导、特别调查组(SIU)。

National Life Compliance has four units: Advertising Guidance (AGT), Regulatory & Risk Guidance, Sales Practice Guidance, and the Special Investigations Unit (SIU).

十四、替换:从来不是「免费升级」14. Replacements: never a "free upgrade"

替换是指新保单导致现有保单被退保(含部分)、断缴、终止、降低保费、转投保费(含年金定期缴款)、降低保障,或用现有保单借款/提取来买新单。 融资购买:同一持有人、同一公司,在新保单生效前 4 个月到生效后 13 个月内,用现有保单的钱交新保费,就算替换。

A replacement is a new policy that causes an existing one to be surrendered (fully or partly), lapsed, terminated, reduced in premium, have its premium redirected (including annuity flow), reduced in coverage, or borrowed against to buy the new one. A financed purchase counts too: same owner, same company, using money from the existing policy to pay new premium from 4 months before to 13 months after the new effective date.

有一种常见的讲法叫「红海 vs 蓝海」:红海是只能卖给没保险的人, 蓝海是「可以卖给已经有保单的人,做保单的免费升级(1035 Exchange),拥有了整个市场」。 前半句是对的,已有保单的人确实是市场。问题出在后半句那六个字。

A common pitch contrasts a "red ocean" (selling only to the uninsured) with a "blue ocean": selling to people who already have a policy, "a free upgrade via a 1035 exchange", which "gives you the whole market". The first half is fine; people who already own coverage are indeed a market. It's those two words that are the problem.

「免费」"Free"新保单要重新摊销前期费用,旧保单可能有退保费用,换过去的钱要重新开始滚The new policy re-amortises front-end costs, the old one may carry a surrender charge, and the money restarts its accumulation
「升级」"Upgrade"暗示新的一定更好。新保单的不可异议期与自杀条款重新起算两年,这段时间客户的保障其实更脆弱Implies the new one is necessarily better. Contestability and the suicide clause restart for two years, so the client is in fact less protected during that window
「拥有整个市场」"The whole market"如果替换的理由是「这个市场更大」而不是「这位客户换了更好」,那正是 Twisting 与 Churning 被禁止的原因If the reason for replacing is that the market is bigger rather than that this client is better off, that is precisely what the bans on twisting and churning are aimed at

加州对替换有一整套流程:签 Notice Regarding Replacement、 资料保留三年、新公司五个工作日内通知原公司、Free Look 强制 30 天。 Twisting 是跨公司误导替换,Churning 是在同一家公司里换来换去, 两个都在 §790.03 的禁止清单上。 完整流程见保单替换, 法条口径见执照考试重点。

California has a full process for replacement: a signed notice regarding replacement, records kept three years, the replacing insurer notifying the existing one within five business days, and a mandatory 30-day free look. Twisting is a misleading replacement across carriers; churning is moving a client around inside one. Both are on the §790.03 list. The process is on the replacement page; the code side is on the exam prep page.

十五、长者与军人:要多做的几步15. Seniors and the military: the extra steps

军人

Military

按《军人金融服务保护法》向现役军人及家属做披露(E-4 及以下有额外要求);进基地要指挥官批准。不能:送礼换出席、暗示与军方或政府有关、约见时不说明是推销、 把计息利率说成净回报、说保险免费、贬低 SGLI/VGLI 或鼓励退掉 SGLI、把军饷划拨说成存款、改扣缴来交保费。

Military Personnel Financial Services Protection Act disclosures to active duty and dependents (extra for E-4 and below); base commander approval on installations. Never: gifts to attend, implying military or government affiliation, hiding that it's a sales call, calling a credited rate a net return, saying insurance is free, disparaging SGLI/VGLI or urging cancellation, calling an allotment a deposit, changing withholding to fund premiums.

长者(加州 65 岁以上)

Seniors (California 65+)

留意认知能力下降;放慢、请家人参与、用简单的话、详细记录。加州到府拜访:每次见面前 24 小时至 14 天内给 Senior Notice Prior to Visit(#20045); 建议变现股票、债券、IRA、CD、基金或年金时给 Financial Advice Disclosure for Elders(#8196);进门先说明来意;名单来自 lead 服务要说明;每位到场者递上带执照号的名片;被要求离开时立即离开。

Watch for cognitive decline; slow down, involve family, use plain language, take detailed notes. California home visits: give the Senior Notice Prior to Visit (#20045) 24 hours to 14 days before each meeting; the Financial Advice Disclosure for Elders (#8196) when recommending liquidating stocks, bonds, IRAs, CDs, funds or annuities; state your purpose on arrival; disclose lead-service sources; everyone present hands over a card with licence number; leave immediately when asked.

年金最佳利益(NAIC 275 号示范法)的四项义务(注意、披露、利益冲突、记录)详见《年金全解》。

The four annuity best-interest obligations under NAIC Model 275 (care, disclosure, conflict of interest, documentation) are covered in Annuities.

十六、广告与讲座:凡是对外的,先审核16. Advertising and seminars: anything public is approved first

在国家人寿眼里,广告包括:讲座和网络研讨会的讲稿、视频、社交媒体、印刷品和直邮、名片和信纸、网站和目录、手册、经纪人培训材料、 电话话术、需求分析表、演示、建议书、电子报、推销或招募邮件。

To National Life, advertising includes seminar and webinar scripts, videos, social media, print and direct mail, business cards and letterhead, websites and listings, brochures, agent training material, phone scripts, fact finders, illustrations, proposals, newsletters, and sales or recruiting emails.

先过 PFA 合规

First, PFA compliance

只有已持牌、已委任的伙伴能做广告。自己做的任何宣传品(印刷、网页、照片、视频、社交媒体),首次使用前都要交 PFA 合规审核, 写明内容、投放渠道、受众和频率;批准以邮件回复,只对申报的用途有效。一周没批要重交,两周没批视为否决。 提到国家人寿或其产品的,还要交保险公司广告审核(附 Compliance Review Request 表,通常 2–5 天)。用 PFA 的标志(招牌、T 恤等)也要先批。 中文广告要附经你证明准确的英文译本。

Only licensed, appointed associates may advertise. Anything you create (print, web, photo, video, social) goes to PFA compliance before first use, stating content, channel, audience and frequency; approval comes by email and covers only that use. Resubmit after a week without approval; two weeks without approval counts as denied. Anything naming National Life or its products also goes to the carrier's ad review (with the Compliance Review Request form, typically 2–5 days). Using the PFA logo (signs, T-shirts) needs approval too. Non-English ads need an English translation you certify.

再过国家人寿广告审核

Then National Life's ad review

提到国家人寿/LSW/NLIC、评级、历史、标志、产品名或独有条款(重大伤害 ABR、阿尔茨海默、生育、LIBR 等)的任何内容;K-12 学校 403(b)/457 推广; 国家人寿产品的销售竞赛;关于国家人寿产品的培训材料;以及即使没点名、但意在引起对国家人寿产品兴趣的内容。 填 Compliance Review Request Form 发 AdReview@,拿到书面批准才能用,并保存批准记录。

Anything naming National Life/LSW/NLIC, ratings, history, logos, product names or unique features (critical injury ABR, Alzheimer's, fertility, LIBR…); K-12 403(b)/457 marketing; sales contests on NLG products; training material on NLG products; and anything meant to create interest in NLG products even without naming them. Send the Compliance Review Request Form to AdReview@, use it only after written approval, and keep the approval.

可以直接用的:Agent Portal Marketing 页签、CoBrand on Demand、公司社交媒体的预审内容。不能改动、盖章或加字。

Ready to use: the Agent Portal Marketing tab, CoBrand on Demand, pre-approved corporate social content. Don't alter, stamp or add to them.

内容规则:真实、完整、写出风险;不保证未来结果;引用的统计要是 3 年内发布且注明来源;寿险的首要目的是身故保障;年金要叫年金,是长期退休产品,指数年金不直接参与股市、有退保费。 不能在公司名、邮箱或网址里使用 National Life、NLIC、LSW。

Content rules: truthful, complete, with risks; no guaranteed future results; statistics must be published within three years and sourced; the primary purpose of life insurance is the death benefit; call an annuity an annuity, a long-term retirement product; FIAs don't participate in the market and have withdrawal charges. Never use National Life, NLIC or LSW in a company name, email address or URL.

讲座与会议同样受管:没持牌委任的人不能上台;客户讲座、招募会、内部培训都用公司核准的讲稿、PPT 或视频,不改动; 不安排未经审核的临时发言人;讲座上介绍了某个产品,也要等到逐一做完需要分析,才能收申请。

Seminars and meetings are regulated too: no one unlicensed or unappointed presents; client seminars, recruiting meetings and internal training use approved scripts, slides or video unchanged; no unvetted impromptu speakers; and even if a product was presented, no application is taken until each person has had an individual needs analysis.

十七、中文材料与「For Agent Use Only」17. Chinese materials and "For Agent Use Only"

这一条和我们关系最大This one matters most to us

国家人寿所有保单和表格只有英文;申请用英文填,客户必须完全理解;不能暗示产品有客户母语版本。 可以翻译:通用的寿险/年金销售材料、信纸和个人简介。不可以翻译:产品专有或涉及独有功能的材料(产品名、重大伤害 ABR、LIBR、GLIR 等)和证券材料。 翻译要走公司的 Process for Creating Multi-Cultural Marketing Materials 流程。

All National Life policies and forms are English only; the app is completed in English and the client must fully understand it; never imply the product exists in their language. May be translated: generic life/annuity sales material, stationery and bios. May not: product-specific or proprietary-feature material (product names, critical injury ABR, LIBR, GLIR…) and securities material. Translations go through the Process for Creating Multi-Cultural Marketing Materials.

对本网站的意思:团队建设的中文产品页是给签约经纪人的培训笔记,需要口令、不被搜索引擎收录。 它们不能截图、转发或改写后给客户或发到朋友圈、微信群,那样就成了未经审批的翻译广告。给客户的材料只用 Agent Portal 上的官方版本(包括官方中文版)。

What it means for this site: the Chinese product pages in the Team Building section are training notes for contracted agents, behind a passphrase and kept out of search engines. Don't screenshot, forward or adapt them for clients, Moments or WeChat groups. That would make them unapproved translated advertising. For clients, use only the official Agent Portal versions (including the official Chinese ones).

哪些材料不能给客户看

Material you may not show a client

保险公司的幻灯片角上常有一行小字:For Agent Use Only — Not For Use With The Public。它是有法律含义的,不是排版装饰。 带这行字的页面,是给持照代理人看的内部资料,不能给客户看、不能截图转发、不能放进讲座 PPT。 团队内部资料里也有不少页带着这行字,转发之前请先看一眼页脚。

The line in the corner of a carrier's slide, For Agent Use Only — Not For Use With The Public, has legal meaning; it isn't decoration. A page carrying it is internal material for licensed agents and may not be shown to a client, screenshotted, forwarded, or dropped into a seminar deck. Plenty of pages in the team's internal material carry that line too. Check the footer before you forward anything.

通常带这行字的

What usually carries it

佣金与销量数据、市场份额排名、产品内部参数对照、 核保指引、竞品对比页、还没通过合规审批的新产品资料。

Commission and production data, market-share rankings, internal parameter comparisons, underwriting guides, competitor comparison pages, and pre-approval material for a new product.

给客户的材料从哪来

Where client-facing material comes from

从公司 Agent Portal 上下载标着 consumer / client 版本的那一份, 或者用团队经合规审过的讲座模板。自己拼图、自己改字的,先问上线。

Download the version marked consumer or client from the carrier's agent portal, or use a seminar template the team has already had reviewed. Anything you assembled or retyped yourself goes past your upline first.

十八、社交媒体与微信18. Social media and WeChat

平台Platform能不能谈业务Business use
LinkedIn(个人和公司页)、Facebook 商业页、Instagram 商业号、X(Twitter)、YouTubeLinkedIn (profile and company), Facebook Business, Instagram Business, X (Twitter), YouTube可以,按规则Yes, within the rules
微信、小红书(RedNote)、TikTokWeChat, RedNote, TikTok2026 年起列入合规批准的平台,规则和上面一样;公司也开始提供中文翻译好的帖子。以前「微信只能发英文会议通知」的规定已经被取代,发之前仍要看合规部当期的社交媒体指引Added to the compliance-approved list from 2026, under the same rules as above; the company now supplies translated posts. The old "WeChat: English meeting notices only" rule is superseded; still check Compliance's current social media guide before posting
WhatsApp、Alignable、互动博客、个人账号WhatsApp, Alignable, interactive blogs, personal accounts不能用于国家人寿业务Not for National Life business

可以发什么

What you may post

不点名国家人寿或产品的一般性寿险、年金、生前福利话题也可以发。 不要回应网上关于国家人寿的评论,转给合规部。不能批评国家人寿、其他经纪人、公司或产品。

General posts on life insurance, annuities and living benefits that don't name NLG or its products are also fine. Don't reply to online comments about National Life; pass them to Compliance. Never criticise National Life, other agents, companies or products.

十九、电话、短信、邮件19. Calls, texts and email

二十、送单、档案与隐私20. Delivery, files and privacy

送单流程与期限(手册写发单后 30 天或 transmittal 的 Acceptance Date 较早者;2024 年培训写 75 天)详见《新单与保全》。犹豫期从送达开始算。

Delivery steps and deadline (the manual says the earlier of 30 days from issue or the transmittal's Acceptance Date; the 2024 training says 75 days) are in New Business & Service. The free look starts at delivery.

档案要留

Keep in the file

所有往来;签名的送单回执;用过的销售材料(包括通用的);需求分析表;签过的披露;会面记录(日期、地点、时间、方式和摘要);用过的演示。保单不再有效后至少保存 7 年(各州不同)。

All correspondence; the signed delivery receipt; sales material used (including generic); the fact finder; signed disclosures; meeting notes (date, place, time, method and summary); the illustration used. Keep at least seven years after the policy ends (states vary).

档案不能留

Never keep

医疗资料(APS、体检、化验、心电图)、调查报告、报税表、对客户的主观评价、签了名的空白表格、保单正本(复印件可以)和其他正本。

Medical records (APS, exams, labs, EKGs), inspection reports, tax returns, judgmental comments about the client, signed blank forms, original policies (copies are fine) or other originals.

客户资料与隐私

Client data and privacy

二十一、执照、继续教育与 E&O21. Licensing, continuing education and E&O

二十二、招募的规矩22. Recruiting rules

规定Rule具体是什么In practice
先看适不适合Qualify first邀请加入前,要评估对方的熟人市场是否适合做寿险、本人是否具备做金融服务的条件;不适合的不应邀请Before inviting someone to join, assess whether their market suits life insurance and whether they're suited to financial services; if not, don't invite them
当面、由已委任的人招募In person, by an appointed associate第一次接触可以用电话、社交媒体等核准方式邀请来听 FOS;真正的招募要在 FOS 之后、由已委任的伙伴当面进行First contact may be by phone or approved social channels, inviting to an FOS; actual recruiting happens in person, after the FOS, by an appointed associate
已持牌的同业Already-licensed prospects先问对方是否挂在其他 agency / IMO、有没有竞业或禁止招揽条款、是否是专属代理。专属或有限制条款的不要招;在介绍 FOS 之前,对方必须先签 PFA 的 Prospect Non-Solicitation Form(说明是对方主动来了解),表格由招募人保存Ask whether they're contracted with another agency or IMO, bound by non-compete or non-solicitation, or captive. Don't recruit those who are; before any FOS they must sign PFA's Prospect Non-Solicitation Form (stating they approached us), which the recruiter keeps
本人报名、本人付款They sign up and pay themselves线上申请、接受合约、付款全部由对方本人完成,必须用对方自己的卡;只有网站不可用时才用纸本,并要有对方书面同意书The online application, contract acceptance and payment are all done by the prospect, on their own card; paper only if the website is down, with written consent
不花钱买人头No paying for heads不能为了让人来听 FOS 或加入而给钱(停车费这类 $25 以下的实际开销除外);不能办「带人来就有奖」的比赛;不能付钱给其他伙伴让他去招人No payment to attend an FOS or to join (beyond de minimis costs under $25 like parking); no contests for bringing prospects; no paying other associates to recruit
一个人只能有一个推荐人One recruiter per person要换推荐人,需要原推荐人签字释放,或本人满 6 个月不活跃Changing recruiter needs a signed release from the original, or six months of inactivity
这是生意机会,不是工作An opportunity, not a job不能把 PFA 说成一份工作,不能为了让人签约而夸大事实,不能在对方不知情时替他报名Never present PFA as a job, exaggerate to get a sign-up, or enrol someone without their knowledge

二十三、夫妻一起做23. Married couples

手册里的规定

What the manual says

  • 两人都参与讲解,两人都签申请;一人单独讲解,就由讲的那人签
  • Both present, both sign; one presents alone, that spouse signs
  • 不在场的一方不能代签,也不能把单子转给没参与的一方
  • The absent spouse can't sign or be assigned the case
  • 不能一方拿另一方的级差;只有两人都在场参与时才能分佣
  • No overriding your spouse; split only when both took part
  • QFD 以上招募直系亲属,对该亲属没有代差提成
  • A QFD+ earns no generational override on immediate family they recruit

2026 年的夫妻团队身份

The 2026 Married Team Couple status

PFA 推出了 Married Team Couple Status:合法婚姻、两人都持牌委任并有 E&O、至少一人保持 CFT,经 PFA 书面批准后, 可以共同获得表彰,在官方规则允许的奖励、旅游、钻戒项目里合并点数;一人可以在 PFD 以上,另一人保持 PFD 或以下; 可以申请一次性、不可撤回的总监级别互换。它不产生层级、下线转移或继承权利。具体以协议为准; 手册里的旧规定与新计划有冲突时,按新计划的协议和 PFA 当期政策执行。

PFA's Married Team Couple Status: a legally married couple, both licensed, appointed and with E&O, at least one a CFT, approved in writing, may be recognised jointly and pool points for awards, trips and rings where official rules allow; one spouse may be above PFD while the other stays at PFD or below; a one-time, irrevocable director-level switch may be requested. It creates no hierarchy, transfer or succession rights. The agreement governs; where the older manual conflicts, the programme agreement and current PFA policy prevail.

二十四、晋升、保级与续保率24. Promotion, retention, persistency

二十五、内部沟通、团队激励与外部业务25. Internal communication, incentives and outside business

二十六、投诉:48 小时26. Complaints: 48 hours

投诉是书面表达的不满(少数州口头也算)。代理人收到的投诉立即转给保险公司的投诉部门;公司要求代理人陈述时, 48 小时内交,逐条回应、只讲事实,附上需求分析等档案。投诉成立时保费退还、佣金追回。 国家人寿的投诉里一半以上涉及销售环节,所以前面几节的档案和披露,就是你将来的证据。

A complaint is a written grievance (oral in a few states). Forward any you receive to the carrier's complaints team at once; when asked for an agent statement, provide it within 48 hours, point by point, facts only, with your fact-finder and needs analysis attached. Justified complaints mean a premium refund and chargeback. Over half of National Life's complaints concern the sale, which is why the documentation above is your future evidence.

立即转交Forward immediately

书面投诉(明尼苏达和华盛顿州口头投诉也算)马上发 complaints@nationallife.com,并告诉主管。

Send written complaints (verbal ones too in MN and WA) to complaints@nationallife.com at once and tell your supervisor.

不要自己处理Don't handle it yourself

不要自己回复或和解(包括 BBB);回复监管机构前先联系合规部(如果州保险局只写信给你,回复后把来信和回复都转给公司)。不要退佣金、不要认错。

Don't reply or settle on your own (BBB included); contact Compliance before answering any regulator (if the DOI writes only to you, respond and forward both). Don't refund commissions or admit fault.

遇到问题找谁

Who to ask

业务问题按顺序:先查手册 → 问你的 CFT、QFD 或 EFD → 发邮件给对应部门(核保询价、方案设计、网站问题、案子找你的 Case Manager)→ 最后才打电话给保险公司,而且不问「怎么用 eApp、选 A 还是 B」这类基础培训问题。 合规或道德问题:先找直属 QFD,再往上到上级 QFD、EFD,直到解决;也可以直接联系 PFA 合规,或用匿名违规举报表。

Business questions, in order: check the manual → ask your CFT, QFD or EFD → email the right department (underwriting quotes, case design, website help, your case manager) → call the carrier last, and never with basic training questions like "how does the eApp work" or "A or B". Compliance or ethics issues: your direct QFD, then upline QFDs and the EFD until resolved; or PFA compliance directly, or the anonymous violation report form.

「帮客户签一下」就是伪造"Just signing for the client" is forgery

经客户同意替他签名、缩写或电子签,一样是伪造。也不能:把客户的通讯地址改成你的(直系亲属除外)、让账单寄给你、冒充客户打电话或注册客户门户、未经授权操作账户、签后修改文件、兑现付给公司或别人的支票。

Signing, initialling or e-signing for a client with their permission is still forgery. Nor may you change a client's address to yours (immediate family excepted), have bills sent to you, impersonate a client on the phone or customer portal, act on an account without authorisation, alter documents after signing, or cash checks payable to the company or others.

长者或弱势成年人(含 18–64 岁有限制的人)被剥削的红旗:所有决定都由别人做;对照顾者害怕或顺从;记忆和对话有问题;异常的退票或断缴;不在乎退保费;突然更改授权书、持有人或受益人;更改持有人后马上取钱; 不合适的销售或替换;高压推销。有合理怀疑必须报告:SIU@nationallife.com、(802) 229-3129 或 EthicsLine。

Red flags for exploitation of elders or vulnerable adults (including 18–64-year-olds with limitations): others making every decision; fear of or submission to a caregiver; memory or conversation problems; unusual NSFs or lapses; indifference to surrender charges; abrupt POA, owner or beneficiary changes; withdrawals right after an ownership change; unsuitable sales or replacements; high-pressure tactics.

二十八、纽约州28. New York

二十九、见客户前的自检29. The pre-appointment check

①今天要给他看的每一页,页脚有没有 For Agent Use OnlyDoes anything I'm showing today carry For Agent Use Only in the footer
②演示表保证那一栏我打算怎么讲How I'm going to walk through the guaranteed column
③「保底」这个词我今天要不要用,用的话后面那半句是什么Whether I'll use the word "guaranteed" at all, and what the second half of that sentence is
④客户是不是 60 岁以上(Free Look 30 天、字眼限制、适合性)Is the client 60 or over (30-day free look, restricted language, suitability)
⑤这单涉不涉及替换,涉及的话表格备齐没有Does this involve a replacement, and are the forms ready
⑥他问税务问题我怎么回(答案是:转给他的会计师)What I say to a tax question (answer: refer to their accountant)
⑦生前福利我有没有说成「额外给的钱」Have I described living benefits as money paid in addition
⑧今天我有没有说过任何一家别的公司的坏话Have I said anything negative about another carrier today

三十、如果已经说出去了30. If you already said it

看完前面那十二句,很多人会想起自己确实说过其中某几句。这不是灾难,但要处理。

Most people reading this will recall saying at least one of these. That isn't a disaster, but it does need handling.

还没签单

Before the case is submitted

下次见面或下一通电话里主动更正一次: 「上次我有句话说得不准确,我重新讲一遍。」 主动更正永远比被动解释好。客户通常不会因此不签, 反而会因为你肯纠正而更信你。

Correct it yourself at the next meeting or call: "I said something inaccurately last time, so let me say it properly." Volunteering a correction always beats explaining one later. Clients rarely walk because of it; more often they trust you more for having done it.

已经签了

After it's in force

保单还在 Free Look 期内的,主动把准确版本讲清楚,让他在知情的情况下决定去留。 已经过了的,同样要讲,并且把这次沟通记下来(日期、说了什么)。 如果客户明确表示不满,不要自己处理,报给上线和公司合规部门。

If it's still inside the free look, give the accurate version and let the client decide on the facts. If the window has passed, say it anyway and write the conversation down (the date, and what was said). If the client expresses dissatisfaction, don't handle it yourself: take it to your upline and the carrier's compliance department.

最后Last word

这份工作的长期资产只有两样:执照,和客户的信任。 两样都是一句话就能毁掉的,也都是任何一单佣金都换不回来的。 讲准确一点,多花不了三十秒。

This job has exactly two long-term assets: your licence and your clients' trust. One sentence can cost you either, and no commission buys either back. Saying it accurately takes about thirty extra seconds.
