In this section, we learned that small businessowners and professional practitioners represent rich, varied markets for your products and services. Being in business for yourself creates unique financial needs and special opportunities, which are often best resolved with insurance and equity products. And, since businessowners and professionals are at or near the top of the income ladder, they have the financial means to deal with these needs and opportunities.

Because of the high risk of becoming sick or hurt, business disability concepts — Salary Continuation, BOE, and Disability Buy-Sell Insurance — should rank high on the list of priorities for businessowners and professionals. Prospects are plentiful, but the tighter your marketing focus, the more effective your sales efforts will be. Since disability is a great door-opener, you can use these issues to enter whatever segments of the business and professional market you select to make sales, build clients, cross-sell to other needs and get plenty of referrals!
