More Likely Than You Think—DI Is Essential for Complete Client Protection

Many agents focus on life insurance but overlook disability coverage, even though a long-term disability is more common than premature death during working years. For clients, losing income to illness or injury can be financially devastating—and for brokers, missing this need risks leaving clients exposed and business on the table. Diversified Brokerage Specialists helps agents confidently deliver both personal and business DI solutions, with education, quoting tools, and hands-on support every step of the way.

Your Disability Insurance Questions, Answered


  • Why is disability insurance so important for clients?

    A long-term disability is statistically more likely than early death, and losing income can disrupt lives. DI protects clients’ paychecks, businesses, and financial goals.

  • Can DBS help with both personal and business DI cases?

    Absolutely. We support agents with solutions for individuals (income replacement), professionals (high-limit DI), and businesses (overhead, buy-sell, key person).

  • Which carriers do you work with for DI?

    DBS partners with leading DI providers such as Principal, Ameritas, The Standard, and more—offering strong underwriting, unique programs, and competitive rates.

  • Is DI difficult to sell or explain to clients?

    With DBS, it doesn’t have to be. We provide client-facing materials, sales training, and personal guidance so you can add DI to your offerings with confidence.

  • Are audits or plan reviews available?

    Yes—request a group or individual DI plan audit. We’ll help spot coverage gaps and create new sales opportunities.
