Monday, December 2, 2002 ManuLife 529 Tools Give Top Honor Marketing Matrix International ranked ManuLife's 529 plan sales and Web tools as tops among the nine providers it looked at. The California-based researcher based its findings on a survey of 138 wirehouse, regional, independent, bank and financial consultants in four locations across the U.S. Advisors were interviewed individually and given a self-administered questionnaire, which asked them to rate sales materials and the Web sites of nine of the top companies offering 529 plans today. Two-thirds of the advisors cited the insurers sales materials the most helpful in increasing their 529 businesses. "The excellent quality, presentation and complete offering of tools helped Manulife College Savings' sales literature rise above its competitors," said Dr. Marcia Selz, chief research director for Marketing Matrix. "The comprehensive nature of the Manulife College Savings' sales kit translates into motivating advisors to sell because the advisor has immediate access to everything needed to make the sale."
