About PMA USA

PMA USA is the representative of Washington National Insurance Company.

They offer life insurance plans and specific supplemental insurance for their clients, as well as workplace solutions for employers that want to increase their employees’ coverage.

Individual whole life insurance

Individual whole life insurance at PMA USA comes with coverage for final obligations that helps your client’s family with their financial burdens during their time of stress and loss.

PMA USA premium rates are guaranteed for life. Their cash value raises over time and clients have direct access to its value to help cover expenses that may arise.

Universal life insurance

Some plans offer living benefits, which allow them to access the cash value of their plan even while they’re still alive to cover unexpected costs or emergencies.

Critical illness insurance

They cover over 15 critical health conditions and 14 types of accident injuries. As a PMA USA agent, you will inform clients whether conditions they’re at risk for are covered or not.

This also includes plans for Heart and Stroke Insurance, which helps those with heart disease prepare for their medical costs with more peace of mind.

Cancer insurance

Cancer insurance quickly pays the first lump-sum payment as soon as your client is diagnosed to help them get started on treatment without the worry of finances.

These policies could cover surgery, chemotherapy, lodging at treatment facilities, medical tests, and more.

Is PMA USA a Scam?

PMA USA offers employees opportunities to educate their clients and the employees of clients on their coverage plans.

It’s not a scam or insurance MLM, though some new employees complain about the door to door sales program for new agents.

My Thoughts

Now that you know a little more about how PMA USA works, here’s a few thoughts to consider, coming from an independent insurance agent not associated with the company:

Captive Versus Independent

Agents who work with PMA USA are captive. This means you can only sell their insurance products.

While Washington National’s insurance products are great, in some cases, they won’t provide the best combination of value and price.

As an independent agent, you can work with multiple insurance companies and sell the plan that is most appropriate clients you see.

This means the potential for a higher level of policies sold, and happier clients who have optimal insurance coverage.

Prospecting Cold

Hate cold calling or door to door sales?

PMA USA may not be your thing.

The good news is that there are many insurance sales opportunities that rely on no cold calling at all.

Instead, these processes use warm insurance leads that have an interest in your product.

While not all warm insurance leads buy, it does make the process of finding new business less stressful for many.

A few insurance sales business models that utilize warm lead generation include:

• • Final Expense

• • Mortgage Protection

• • Medicare Advantage

• • Medicare Supplements

• • Annuity Sales

And many more.
