    2025/04/28

    Are you treating LTD as just another checkbox on the benefits plan? It’s time to rethink that. Disability is the biggest risk your clients face, and without the right coverage, advisors are missing a key opportunity to add value.

    Kelly shares why cookie-cutter LTD plans fall short and how her Combo LTD solution helps advisors enhance coverage, contain costs, and give clients more control.
