The Business of Life Insurance


Book Description

Excerpt from The Business of Life Insurance Many books concerning life insurance have been published heretofore for the instruction of persons who are engaged in the life insurance business in one capacity or another. They will in some cases be found useful also to persons who merely patronise life insurance; and, when this is true, will amply repay study. This book is published, however, for the special uses of the great public, composed of persons, nearly all of whom purchase insurance on their lives. Many of these also earn their livelihood by selling it, some by employment in the service of companies that provide it, and a very few in managing these companies. It is hoped and anticipated that just because this book has been prepared for the instruction of all who buy and hold life insurance policies, it will be of unusual interest and perhaps of uncommon utility to the agents of life insurance companies, their employees and their officers; but that is not the chief purpose.

The Art and Science of Life Insurance Distribution


Book Description

This book presents a complete discussion of life insurance distribution. It begins by putting life insurance distribution within the broader context of distribution and marketing in general, thus demonstrating why life insurance distribution is different. It then goes on to discuss the history of how distribution, as we know it today, developed, and the ten primary distribution channels that exist in the business. With all of this as background, the book continues with more detail and discusses the various functions performed by distribution, and how distribution systems are managed today. It also goes into more specifics regarding the compensation and the economics of distribution. The text concludes with a discussion of managing distribution channel conflict, and how distribution of life insurance is expected to evolve in the near future. Spreadsheet models are available on the ACTEX website to assist readers in understanding the economics of distribution.




Black Business in the New South


Book Description

At the turn of the century, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company became the "world's largest Negro business." Located in Durham, North Carolina, which was known as the "Black Wall Street of America," this business came to symbolize the ideas of racial progress, self-help, and solidarity in America. Walter B. Weare's social and intellectual history, originally published in 1973 (University of Illinois Press) and updated here to include a new introduction, still stands as the definitive history of black business in the New South. Drawing on a wide range of sources—including personal papers of the company's leaders and oral history interviews—Weare traces the company's story from its ideological roots in the eighteenth century to its economic success in the twentieth century.
