Setting
Michael owns a medical device company. He's spent ten years building the business, and growth was steady until he hired Jennifer, a 40-year old sales representative. Jennifer's passion and expertise has tripled sales, and she now trains other salespeople within the company. Michael has given Jennifer annual raises and she participates in the company's retirement plan, but Michael feels he owes the success of the company to Jennifer's work ethic. He fears that another company may try to lure Jennifer away and has no idea how to provide any new or alternative value to her compensation package.
Solution
Michael's agent suggests a SmartLock™ Bonus Plan as a way to use tax-deductible funds to reward Jennifer. The bonus plan provides a retirement supplement with guarantees and a forever death benefit to Jennifer and her family. Michael loves the idea and approves a plan. Jennifer applies for the policy and Michael pays the bonus as premium for the policy. As Jennifer and her team continue to outperform their sales goals, Michael continues to accumulate these plans for her. Through this arrangement, Jennifer feels loyal to Michael and stays with the company until she retires.
It's a simple process.
