Underwritten by Pre-Paid Legal Services®, Inc.

2 Top Six Reasons to Offer PLPP To Your Clients
Helps protect clients’ income and assets by offering the complete solution. Allows representatives to earn money when just starting in the business. Opens the door to offer other Primerica products. Opens the door for re-visits to existing customers. Maintenance free; which means extra time for representatives to focus on other things. Monthly bonus program and incentive contests.

3 The Product What is PLPP?
The Primerica Legal Protection Program (PLPP) offers clients: An array of legal benefits; Legal empowerment to know that an attorney is just a phone call away (No searching through the yellow pages, online, etc.); The comfort of knowing a qualified provider attorney firm is in their corner. PLPP lets your clients talk to an attorney: Without worrying about the cost; To help prevent legal questions from becoming legal problems; To help provide peace of mind when they are faced with the critical need for legal consultation.

4 The Product What is PLPP?
Simply put, a Primerica Legal Protection Program does for lawyer and legal bills what a medical or dental plan does for doctor and dental bills.

5 The Need Have you Ever... Been overcharged for a repair?
Tried to return a defective product? Lost a security deposit? Been audited? Received a traffic ticket? Prepared a will? Signed a contract? Purchased a home? Faced possible foreclosure?

6 The Need The main reasons people don’t seek legal counsel:
They are intimidated by lawyers; They don’t know who to call; They believe it would cost too much. The most common responses to a legal dispute are to: Ignore the problem; Try to handle it personally.

The Family Plan is $25 per month with a $10 enrollment fee (full benefit states) The Family Plan is $20 per month with a $10 enrollment fee (limited benefit states).

21 Provider Attorney Firms
How are attorneys selected? Provider law firms are carefully screened and selected by Pre-Paid Legal. There is one provider attorney firm per state – except Florida, which has two. Each firm has individual attorneys that specialize in a certain area of law. The FNA output provides the provider attorney firm contact information for your state. How does Pre-Paid Legal monitor the attorney firm? Pre-Paid Legal monitors firms on a daily basis for quality of business, complaints and time it take to contact members back. What if a client isn’t happy with the service they receive from the firm and don’t feel they received what they paid for? The client may contact Pre-Paid Legal customer service at (800) and set-up a request for a liaison. Pre-Paid Legal will have the liaison contact both the firm and client to verify the attorney did do what he was supposed to do.

Download the application from Primerica Online (POL). (Support System/Protection Management/PLPP US/Forms) Indicate the time and date. Complete all client information being sure to include the complete address. Complete all billing information and signatures. Attach the check for payment if choosing bank draft option. No voided check is needed. Write legibly. An original application with signature is always required. No copies or faxed applications will be accepted.

23 PLPP Administration Where to mail an application

PO BOX 145, Ada, OK For expedited mailing, send an application via Fed-Ex or UPS to: Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., New Business, 1 Pre-Paid Way, Ada, OK 74820 Processing time Allow at least 48 hours once Pre-Paid Legal receives the application.

24 PLPP Marketing PLPP Membership — New Business vs. Reinstatement
Your client has never been a member. Your client has membership that has been cancelled 12 months or longer. Full production/contest credit and commission will be given. Reinstatement Your client has membership that has been cancelled for less than 12 months. No production/contest credit and partial commissions will be given and paid through earns. Earnings are commissions based on how long membership was in force.

25 PLPP Administration Credits and Commissions With first monies attached
The writing representative will receive production credit and commissions (check or credit card) When no first monies are attached (bank draft with no check/credit card issues) The application will be processed as “pending” until first monies are received. Once monies are received, production credit and commission will be given to the writing representative for the membership.

26 PLPP Marketing Changing Memberships
Changing from a Pre-Paid Legal membership to a PLPP membership requires a six month waiting period from the date of client cancellation. During the waiting period, the client will not be covered for either Pre-Paid Legal or PLPP benefits. If a Pre-Paid Legal client has held membership for several years, trial defense benefit hours have accumulated and those are lost once membership is cancelled. It is typically not good for your business or for your client to change their membership from Pre-Paid Legal to PLPP.

27 PLPP Marketing Recruiting Pre-Paid Legal Representatives
The Pre-Paid Legal representative must resign, in writing, to Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. There is a six month waiting period after the representative’s last commission check is received for a Pre-Paid Legal representative to be able to become a Primerica representative. The same procedures apply for Pre-Paid Legal recruiting of Primerica representatives. Primerica does not encourage recruiting of Pre-Paid Legal representatives.

30 PLPP Group Why Employers Should Offer PLPP
Employees’ legal problems cost employers money. According to an LSK Associates study, almost half the employees who take time off from work do so to deal with problems that are either legal or legal-related.

31 How PLPP Group can Benefit Employees
How Can Group PLPP Benefit Employees of a Business? Employees with legal problems usually: Have an absenteeism rate five times higher than average; Use their medical benefits four times more than average; Use sick leave twice as often as the average employee; Experience a substantial reduction in their productivity. A Primerica Legal Protection Program: Helps keep employees’ minds off their problems and on the job; Is highly visible to employees; Reduces turnover by cementing employee loyalty; Is tax deductible to the employer (if offered as a fringe benefit) as a cost of doing business; (Employers should consult with their CPA regarding this issue.) Attracts employees in the competitive market.

32 PLPP Group What are group PLPP memberships? How do you set up a group?
Group PLPP provides the same coverage benefits as the Family membership, but is offered through places of employment. A minimum of five members are required to set up a group. Only three members are required if an employer is paying for the memberships as a fringe benefit. How do you set up a group? Complete a group authorization form (available online at POL/Support System/Protection Management/PLPP US/Forms). Have each participating employee complete the PLPP universal application and attach to the group authorization form. Attach first monies to all paperwork being sent to Pre-Paid Legal in order to receive immediate commission and credit.

33 Group Plan Cost How much does a group plan cost?
There is a discounted rate of $23.95 for groups in full benefit states. The enrollment fee is waived. The Florida group rate is $25.00 a month with no enrollment fee (Family commissions are paid for FL Groups). The group rate in limited benefits states is $18.95 and the enrollment fee is waived. These states include NJ, NY and WA.

34 Group Payment Methods Fringe Benefit Payroll Deduction
Employer can purchase PLPP for all employees or as few as three key employees, at no cost to employee. Employees NOT receiving PLPP as a fringe benefit can enroll via payroll deduction, bank or credit card draft. Payroll Deduction Employers can elect to have employees monthly membership fees deducted from their paychecks when five or more employees initially enroll for payroll deduction. The employer or payroll company will deduct the payment from the individuals and forward one check to Pre-Paid Legal for the monthly payment. If payroll deduction is selected, make sure to fill out and then detach the payroll deduction slip from the bottom of the application and leave it with the employer/payroll clerk. Bank Draft/Credit Card When payroll deduction is not an option, individual members can have their bank or credit card accounts drafted.

35 What businesses cannot be considered for a Group Plan
Taxi services (due to high turnover) Church members Associations Chambers of commerce Unions (not on a common payroll) Correctional facilities (prisoners) Credit unions Lodges Guilds If you encounter a company that currently has a group plan established with either Pre-Paid Legal or PLPP/Primerica, leave the account as it stands. If you want to check and see whether or not a group is currently covered under a Pre-Paid Legal or PLPP/Primerica plan please use the group availability form found on POL/Support System/Protection Management/PLPP US/Forms.
