# Life Insurance Form Qualification Process

This article dives deep into our lead qualification process, providing a clear understanding of the form logic and the criteria a prospect must meet to become a qualified **FinanceVine** lead.

**Section 1: Initial Insurance Interest**

What types of insurance are you interested in?

- **Possible Answers:** Permanent or Term Life, Health and dental, Disability and/or Critical illness.
- **Qualification Logic:**
  - Selecting **"Permanent or Term Life"**: The lead is **potentially qualified** and moves to the next section.
  - Selecting **"Disability and/or Critical illness"**: The lead is **potentially qualified** and moves to the next section.
  - Selecting **"Health and dental" ONLY**: The lead is **disqualified**.

**Section 2: Identifying Core Insurance Needs**

- **Questions (At least one "Yes" is required to proceed):**
  - Do you want to offset lost income used to support your dependents?
  - Do you have a mortgage or other loans that you'd want paid off?
  - Do you have children whom you want to leave money for education?
  - Do you want coverage for your funeral costs?
- **Qualification Logic:**
  - Answering **"yes" to at least one** question: The lead is **potentially qualified** and continues to the next section.
  - Answering **"no" to all four** questions: The lead is **disqualified**.
  - The only exception to answering **"no"** to all 4 questions is if the lead selects "Disability and/or Critical Illness" on question 1, this will be passed on to the next steps

**Section 3: Health Status and Prior Insurance Application History**

This section explores the lead's health background and any past challenges in obtaining insurance.

- **Question:** Do you have a critical illness or disability?
- **Qualification Logic (Combined with Section 6):**
  - Answering **"Yes"**: The lead proceeds to Section 4. Having a pre-existing condition doesn't automatically disqualify them, as simplified or guaranteed issue policies may be available.
  - Answering **"No"**: The lead proceeds directly to Section 4. Their qualification regarding past denials will be assessed in Section 6.

**Section 4: Essential Quote Information and Age Eligibility**

This section gathers standard information required for preliminary quotes and confirms age parameters.

- **Questions:** Sex? Are you a smoker? Date of birth?
- **Qualification Logic (Based on Birthday):**
  - For **Life Insurance (Permanent or Term)**: The lead's age must be between **18 and 65 years old (inclusive)** to remain qualified.
  - For **Disability and Critical Illness Insurance**: The lead's age must be **59 years old or under** to be considered qualified for these specific product lines. Leads outside this age range but within the life insurance age range will still be qualified if they expressed interest in life insurance.

**Section 5: Canadian Citizenship Status**

- **Question:** What is your citizenship status in Canada?
- **Qualification Logic:**
  - Selecting **"Permanent resident"** or **"Canadian citizen"**: The lead remains **qualified**.
  - Selecting other citizenship statuses: The lead is **disqualified** at this time.

**Section 6: Recent Insurance Denial History** (If any)

This section, in conjunction with Section 3, determines qualification based on past insurance application outcomes.

- **Question:** Have you been declined for life or health insurance in the last year?
- **Qualification Logic:**
  - Answering **"Yes"**: The lead is **disqualified**. Recent denials often indicate significant insurability challenges.
  - Answering **"No"**: The lead remains **qualified**. This is particularly important for leads who answered "Yes" to having a critical illness or disability in Section 3, as they haven't faced recent denials.

**Section 7: Province of Residence**

This question gathers location data for potential regional considerations.

- **Question:** Which province do you live in?
- **Qualification Logic:** While the province itself doesn't disqualify a lead, this information is crucial to which of our partners the lead will be assigned to on a round robin basis in any given territory.

**Section 8: Contact Details and Anti-Spam Measures**

This critical section collects the lead's contact information while implementing robust anti-spam filters.

- **Questions:** Name? Email? Phone number?
- **Qualification Logic:**
  - **Name:** Must not contain curse words (filtered by API) and cannot contain "exclusion" words (celebrity names, etc., based on our ongoing list).
  - **Email:** Must be a validly formatted email address.
  - **Phone Number:**
    - Must have a valid Canadian area code.
    - Cannot be a fake number (e.g., 000-000-0000).
    - Cannot be an unregistered phone number from VoIP apps (e.g., Twilio, Callfire).
    - Leads failing any of these validation checks are **disqualified**.

**Section 9: SMS Verification**

- **Process:** The lead receives a 4-digit verification code via SMS and has 10 minutes to enter it on the form.
- **Qualification Logic:**
  - Successfully entering the correct code within the time limit: The lead is **qualified** and passed on to you.
  - Failing to enter the code or exceeding the time limit: The lead is **disqualified**. Approximately 50% of leads reaching this stage do not complete the verification, further ensuring the quality and genuine interest of the final leads.

**What Constitutes a Qualified FinanceVine Lead?**

A qualified **FinanceVine**lead is an individual who has successfully navigated all the above stages, demonstrating:

1. Genuine interest in **Permanent or Term Life Insurance, Disability and/or Critical Illness Insurance**. (Google Search)
2. Recognition of at least one key **life insurance need**.
3. An age within the eligible range for the insurance product(s) of interest.
4. **Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status**.
5. No recent **life or health insurance denial** within the last year.
6. Provided **valid and verifiable contact information** that passes our anti-spam and fraud detection measures.
7. **Successfully completed SMS verification**, confirming the authenticity of their phone number.

By implementing this multi-layered qualification process, **FinanceVine** is committed to providing you with high-quality leads that are more likely to convert into successful policies.
