Sheila Day: Insurance Service Means Going Above and Beyond

Insurance is an important financial tool. It is a safety net, and getting the best insurance for you and your loved ones can help you protect your wealth by eliminating the cost of loss without taking out loans. Sheila Day understands this and helps people protect themselves and their families from unforeseen events by providing a baseline financial cushion. Her unique approach to insurance and her skills in selling it set her apart in a highly competitive industry.

Sheila provides burial insurance/funeral coverage as an independent broker with all  the top A and a+ rated carriers in the nation. She not only sells these policies, but she also educates families on the benefits of burial insurance and even helps agents grow their brands.

As of 2020, the average funeral cost was $12,450, excluding the headstones, flowers, monuments, and other external expenses. Considering that the government doesn’t pay off debts, bills, or expenses accrued during your lifetime, and funeral homes also don’t have the option to pay in installments, your loved ones may be forced to take out loans to hold a decent send-off for you. Burial insurance helps with your final send-off and lightens the financial burden. 

Sheila assists people in getting started on burial insurance and finding the right policy for them. She goes the extra step to ensure that each customer’s experience is personalized and exceeds expectations. States have new and approved burial insurance programs that are affordable. These new programs don’t require medical exams, physicals, or blood tests. As an independent agency, Sheila and her team have made the coverage more affordable- cutting costs by ensuring your monthly premium is locked in and will never go up.

Sheila’s vast experience in insurance and entrepreneurship gives her an edge and has enabled her to build a strong team of insurance agents. She is well-versed in the various types of insurance policies and understands the different coverage options while providing tailored advice for each customer. 

Sheila has a bachelor’s in social work and worked in direct care and upper-level management in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities for 12 years. She also worked in direct sales and corporate-level sales management in the beauty industry for 15 years.

Sheila uses strategies learned during this period to help others and grow her brand. She mainly uses telesales, which has helped her expand her market reach greatly. This allows her to spend more time growing and training her team as well. 

As for recruiting, Sheila’s go-to is face-to-face in person or on zoom. She says she prefers a more direct approach but is also having more meaningful  conversations with potential agents to determine the best fit for them.

In the coming years, Sheila Day is looking forward to helping more people lighten the financial burdens associated with funerals through insurance cover like burial insurance. She is also working on growing her agency and brand. Her goal is to have  a hall-of-fame agency doing 1 M + monthly with an Integrity partnership.
