How to sell annuities: your first case

This guide covers four tasks from case design through follow-up. A completed sale also requires your full application and delivery process.

  1. 1.

    Facts and options. Use age, state, money type and amount for a first look only.

    Before recommending, complete the required client profile. Compare lawful options, manage conflicts and document why the choice fits.

  2. 2.

    Can I sell it? Check the product is open to this client and to you. Then read the carrier's own rules.

  3. 3.

    Show it and explain it. Run an illustration and read it before the client does. Then explain it in plain words.

  4. 4.

    Follow up. Ask your AI to draft the follow-up, and save the case so you can review it every year.

You're done when you can name the lesson for each task. Your AI supports the work. You make and document the recommendation.
Watch out: Use every required state form. Also use carrier and firm forms. Complete signatures and funding. Finish review and delivery. Explain the free-look period.
