Well , I ’ m not sure if it is my age ( always 39 ) or the age in which we are living , but it is challenging to keep pace with all that is trending in our business . From sales trends to consumer preferences and new market offerings , the independent distribution channel is speeding towards 2022 with exciting acceleration .

To help gauge business moving into next year , we have compiled the latest stats and trends , thanks to LIMRA , MDRT , MIBGroup , Inc ., and WINK , Inc ., as well as contributing experts in specific product verticals .
