Had a @WHOOP 4.0 for one week and after going to bed with 80% battery woke up to it being completely dead and unchargeable (I have two batteries both updated to the latest firmware)! Add to that I have to wait 24-48 hours for any support! Guess I am going back to an @Apple watch

And like that we are done! Unfortunately my watch died on the 8th hole of the last round on about 38,000 steps so probably finished on about 45,000 steps. Thank you to everyone that has sponsored us, it really is appreciated! longestdaygolf.macmillan.org…

Ready for the longest day of golf challenge tomorrow in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. If you can offer any support it would be much appreciated! Time for dinner and bed, early start tomorrow! Am I missing anything? #MacmillanCancerSupport bit.ly/3CgC1p3

Have you ever told a client that their #incomeprotection plan would pay out of they are off work due to stress, anxiety or depression? If so you should read this from @protectgururob as it is more complicated than you might think? bit.ly/36UyLU2

Lots of positive claim stories here: protectionguru.co.uk/claims-… #ProtectionReview21
As @KevinCarrC said, there are more positive stories than people think. I suspect this is because the negative ones get shared around the market, but firms tend not to share positive ones unless they themselves are featured - the positive ones benefit us all! #ProtectionReview21

Absolutely agree @gdesterre we need more stories to highlight what these added services offer and the practical impact they can have on a clients life and wellbeing @Protection_Rev #ProtectionReview21

If you want people to take advantage of added value benefits you need not only to tell them what they have access to but also what they can access it for and where. We are not good at this as an industry @Protection_Rev #ProtectionReview21

Is the self funding model not the @VitalityAdviser approach? Am I missing something? @PacificLifeRe @Protection_Rev #ProtectionReview2021

Are some insurers not already differentiating on Covid Jab status? Some will not offer terms where a higher rating is required if the client is not vaccinated? @PacificLifeRe @Protection_Rev #ProtectionReview2021

If you don’t know of any client that has used support services have you actually discussed the services with them? Great point from @MoorgateMermaid The industry (advisers and insurers) need to communicate better with their clients @Protection_Rev #ProtectionReview2021

Some pretty blunt points from Robert Sinclair @Official_AMI on why protection status quo doesn’t work for mortgage advisers. It is great to hear the mortgage brokers point of view, the industry should listen! @Protection_Rev #ProtectionReview2021

“We need to look at how we support the individual at point of claim not just how we pay the claim”. Very true words Duncan Mosley from @guardian1821 @Protection_Rev #ProtectionReview2021
