Term Conversion Opportunities
Identifying term conversion opportunities for your Agents is a complex and difficult task.
NIC provides tools and segmentation services to help identify and manage conversion opportunities and makes it easy to share them with your Agents
Conversion opportunities are typically buried and not easy to spot. In order to identify policies that may qualify for conversion opportunity NIC has created an easy-to-use filter that segments your book of business by:
-
Carrier
-
Product Type
-
Policy Effective Date
-
Age of the Insured
NIC DISTRIBUTOR APP HOME PAGE
The Home page is a jump-off point to all application features and services.
AGENT SEARCH
NIC's Global Search enables you to search for Agents in your downline.
AGENT PROFILE
Agent Profile provides you with information about the selected Agent and their book of business.
AGENT LIFE POLICY GRID
The Life Policy Grid provides access to your Agent's in force book and the ability to slice and dice your Agent's data based on what you are looking for.
The opportunities are limitless!

You need to use a precise FROM and TO date that includes month/date/year
Example: If the Policy Effective Date must be before December 31, 2020 select a FROM date that goes back any number of years (e.g. Jan 1, 1960) but has a TO date that is Dec 31, 2020
AGE OF THE INSURED CRITERIA
-
If the age of the insured is also a requirement (e.g. the insured must be under the age of 70 at the time of the conversion) use the Insured Birth Date filter
-
You need to use a precise FROM and TO date that includes month/date/year
Example: If the age of the insured must be under the age of 70, the birth date range must be before January 1, 1952 and the TO date can be anything prior to today's date
