Target Premium Import Template

Target Premium Import Template

The Target Premium template is specifically for universal life and whole life policies.  These policies pay a base commission rate on the “target premium” and a smaller rate on the “excess premium”.  The Base and Excess rate can vary from year to year.  Commissions can be advanced for first year, renewals, or both.
