Engaging the Black Community With Life Insurance

We are always looking for prospects that need — and want — our products and services. A new supplemental report that Life Happens conducted with LIMRA, Black Americans: Life Insurance Ownership and Attitudes helps us on that path.

The report shows that almost a third of Black Americans say they are looking for a financial professional to help them. And 38% said the COVID-19 pandemic has been a wake-up call about the need for life insurance, versus 31% for the general population.

Plus: 75% of Black Americans said they needed life insurance, but ownership sits at just 56%.

Life Happens has worked closely with its Diversity Advisory Group to tailor marketing resources that speak directly to the Black community and motivate them to seek out insurance professionals and get the life insurance coverage they need — or more of it.
