An MDRT production planning template helps life insurance agents translate an annual production goal into weekly FYP need, average case size, policies required, daily activity targets, and follow-up priorities. The best template connects production pace to the next action, not just a year-end number.
ApexLedger turns goal pace, activity, average case size, follow-up risk, and production movement into the next move to make today.
Planning works when the agent can see the annual gap, the weekly need, and the next action that can still protect the week.
Quick definition
An MDRT production planning template turns an annual life insurance production target into weekly production need, policies required, average case size assumptions, daily activity targets, and follow-up priorities.The template should not stop at a year-end gap. It should show what must happen this week, which cases matter most, and which action should be inspected next.
Template inputs
A good production plan starts with the goal, current production, time remaining, average case size, and activity assumptions. These inputs turn a big target into a concrete weekly recovery need.
| Template area | What it captures | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Annual production goal | Target FYP or production amount for the year. | Defines the finish line for the plan. |
| YTD production | Current credited production already completed. | Shows the remaining gap instead of guessing from emotion. |
| Weeks remaining | Planning time left in the year or campaign window. | Turns the annual target into weekly pace. |
| Average case size | Expected FYP per policy or case. | Translates production need into a practical policy count. |
| Conversion assumptions | Prospects, appointments, first meetings, proposals, and policies. | Connects the production target to controllable activity. |
| Follow-up priorities | Warm proposals, overdue leads, and high-intent next steps. | Protects the fastest recovery lever before adding more cold activity. |
Planning outputs
The most useful output is the action path: weekly production need, policies needed, activity target, and the follow-up priorities most likely to protect the week.
Annual goal - YTD productionShows how much production still has to be created.
Remaining production ÷ weeks remainingTurns the goal into a weekly pace target.
Remaining production ÷ average case sizeTranslates the gap into a practical number of cases.
Policies needed adjusted by conversion ratiosConnects the plan to prospects, appointments, meetings, and proposals.
Example formula
Do not treat a sample page as official membership guidance. Use current official MDRT sources for requirements, then use your own target number inside the planning template.
Remaining production = Annual target - YTD production
Weekly production need = Remaining production ÷ weeks remaining
Policies needed = Remaining production ÷ average case size
Daily activity target = Policies needed adjusted by conversion assumptions
Template sections
The template should make the plan easy to review each week and easy to turn into daily action.
Annual target, YTD production, remaining production, and weeks remaining.
Expected production per policy so the gap becomes a policy-count target.
Prospecting, appointments, first meetings, proposals, and policies needed.
Warm proposals, overdue leads, and high-intent opportunities that can still move.
What changed, what stalled, what recovered, and what needs coaching.

How ApexLedger fits
A plan is only useful if it changes today’s behavior. ApexLedger connects goal pace, projected year-end FYP, weekly recovery need, activity log, follow-up risk, and Daily Coach guidance so the agent knows what to move next.
Weekly adjustment guide
A production plan should show the fastest honest lever: activity, follow-up recovery, proposal movement, conversion, or average case size.
Sort overdue follow-ups and open proposals first, then add focused prospecting. Recovery starts with warm intent.
Keep daily activity steady, prevent stale opportunities, and make sure every proposal has a dated next step.
Protect momentum by moving warm cases and keeping the prospecting habit consistent.
