It’s incredibly exciting to see underwriting times coming down from 45-60 days to just a few days or instantly. 

This speed - thanks to technology and data working together - is helping more people get the coverage they need. 

In this episode, I interview distribution veteran Bob Bland , founding CEO at LifeQuotes.com and President at Life Insurance Direct Marketing Association (LIDMA), about the evolution of technology and data in the life insurance space.

Bob talks with me about: 

- Realizing in the late 70s that technology would drive the future of life insurance

- Challenges he’s seeing in the industry today 

- Tech and EHRs accelerating underwriting speed 

- The importance of choosing kind and gentle messaging for applicants 

- How he’s seen life insurance evolve during his decades-long tenure 

Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast:

- The 2021 LIDMA conference
