# Why Your Life Quotes Start at the Wrong Health Class (and How to Fix It)

## TL;DR

Quoters that default to Preferred Plus produce premiums the carrier will not honor for most clients, which forces an awkward re-quote after underwriting. unLocked CRM's life quoter now sets Health Class from the attached contact's actual build and conditions, and warns when a selected class does not match the profile — so the first number the client sees is one underwriting can approve.

## Key data points

- Quoting at a default Preferred Plus health class produces premiums that underwriting frequently cannot approve, forcing agents to re-quote clients at higher rates.
- unLocked CRM's life quoter sets Health Class from the contact's actual build and conditions and warns when the selected class does not match the health profile.

Every agent knows the call: underwriting came back, and the premium is not what you quoted. The client feels sold, and the case wobbles.

**Most of those calls start the same way — the quote was run at Preferred Plus because that is where the quoter started.**

## The default-class trap

A quoter that opens at the best possible class flatters every case. The client sees a number built for someone with no conditions, no medications, and a perfect build. When the carrier's underwriter meets the real client, the rate moves — and you are the one who has to explain it.

## Quote from the profile, not the default

In unLocked CRM, attaching a contact to a life quote imports their height, weight, conditions, surgeries, medications, and tobacco use — and sets Health Class from that reality. The first premium on the screen is one underwriting can actually approve.

## A warning before you send

If you do select a class that does not match the profile — maybe the client insists they are healthier than their record says — the quoter warns you and explains the mismatch. You decide what to send, but you decide with the facts in front of you.

## What this changes

- **Fewer re-quotes.** The first number survives underwriting more often
- **Cleaner expectations.** Clients budget for the real premium
- **Faster placement.** Less back-and-forth between quote, application, and offer

The life quoter is included on every unLocked CRM plan. Attach a contact and run one — the class will already be where it belongs.
