Forethought Expands Technology Service Solutions

Forethought Life Insurance Company (“Forethought”) announced today the release of the latest version of its preneed life premium calculator application, Forethought® Rates2GoSM.

The new application is designed to be widely accessible, functioning on multiple platforms and devices including mobile phones, tablets, desktops and laptops.  Selling tools for agents include a variety of methods for calculating premiums, amortization and demonstrating the value of setting aside funds for funeral arrangements.  A key feature of the new software is the ability to utilize the calculators without an internet connection once the app has been logged into and downloaded onto a personal device.

Tested by top selling producers, Rates2Go is now a universal solution for our sales professionals with improved navigation, the ability to stay current with regular updates, and expanded device adaptability.

“It is important to us to provide our agents with leading-edge technology solutions that can help them at point-of-sale,” noted Mark Guzniczak, Senior Vice President of Sales. “The enhanced version of Rates2Go is streamlined, versatile and eliminates the need for continuous internet access. This is the first of several improved service solutions Forethought has in development, including the ability to complete insurance applications and contracts electronically in 2013.”
