Income is King
Good fact-finding based on the prospect's needs is the key to expanding a relationship. Almost entirely, that process will discover that the real need is income and fear of not having enough.
One of the most powerful ways to improve annuity sales is to lead every conversation with income rather than products. Most clients do not care about contract names, carriers, or riders at the beginning of the discussion. What they care about is whether they can pay their bills, maintain their lifestyle, and stop worrying about market swings once they retire.
When the conversation starts with income, it immediately connects to what matters most. Predictable monthly income brings clarity and calm. When clients can clearly see how their essential expenses—housing, food, utilities, insurance, and healthcare—are covered regardless of what the market does, their anxiety drops. The discussion shifts from "Is this a good product?" to "This makes sense for my life." At that point, the annuity stops feeling like a complex financial instrument and starts feeling like a practical solution.
Leading with income also removes the need to defend annuities against headlines or misconceptions. You are no longer selling features; you are solving a problem. Once the client understands the role guaranteed income plays in creating stability, the product explanation becomes easy and natural.
When income comes first, annuities feel logical, not intimidating. Clients lean in, trust increases, and decisions are made with confidence rather than hesitation.
