Life Insurance Agent Commission and Whole Life Policy Design, with Rodney Mogen
Not all whole life policies are designed equally. Some that show up better on an illustration actually have a higher risk. Rodney Mogen came back on the show to continue the conversation about life insurance agent commission and whole life policy splits.
We address the “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt” in the IBC world around policy splits. We answer questions about illustrations, changing dividends, agent commissions, effects on the death benefit, and policy tax status.

Life Insurance Agent Commission
Why are we talking about life insurance agent commission? Because some people think that agents design policies based on how they are compensated. There are agents telling people that a 10/90 premium is the only one right way to design policies. According to them, anything else is just trying to earn a higher commission.
We design policies based on the client’s unique situation, versus using a cookie-cutter approach and designing all polices the same. It’s important to have an abundance mindset when looking for the best life insurance companies to work with. We believe compensation is a good thing and should be based on the amount of value you receive.
If someone bases their entire agency on the 10/90 split, then they are running their business based on volume. This approach is very similar to Walmart. There is absolutely nothing wrong with serving as many people as possible. The question is, how much value and time do you think you will get from that advisor?
Your agent’s commission should be the last thing in the agent’s mind and your mind when putting individualized strategies and recommendations in place.
