Pink doubles protection sales

Adviser network Pink has doubled its protection sales in six months following broker training.

The mortgage and insurance specialist introduced a panel of five life providers at the beginning of quarter two, following which the five offered all advisers training on both the products and the best way of selling them.

This network said this has given advisers confidence in talking to clients from a wider perspective other than just selling life assurance in connection with a mortgage.

Mark Graves, sales director for Pink said; "By providing training through workshops we helped advisers focus on their existing clients; the extra knowledge gained has re-enforced the importance of making regular contact with clients while our panel provides a wide range of benefits to advisers and clients alike."

The current five providers on the panel are: PruProtect, Bright Grey, Aviva, Legal & General and LV=.

Andy Philo, national account director at PruProtect said, "The true winners are the clients; this has been reflected in the huge increase in cases we are currently witnessing."
