One Sale Can Change Your Month. One Client Can Change Your Year.

Fixed and indexed annuities carry 4–8% commissions on large single premiums — the highest per-sale earnings in insurance.

See What a Single Sale Can Earn

Large single-premium products mean your commission per policy dwarfs nearly every other line you can sell.

Fixed Annuity Example
$10,000
One Sale Commission

$200,000 premium × 5% = $10,000 earned on a single placement. A straightforward product clients trust for predictable, guaranteed growth.

FIA Example
$21,000
One Sale Commission

$350,000 premium × 6% = $21,000 earned on one fixed indexed annuity. Upside linked to the market with a floor of zero downside.

Three Types of Annuities You Can Sell

Each product serves a distinct client need — giving you multiple angles of approach with the same prospect.

Fixed Annuity

A guaranteed interest rate for a set period. Simple to explain, easy to close. Clients coming from CDs or savings accounts are natural prospects — no market risk, predictable growth.

Guaranteed Growth

Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA)

Growth linked to a market index like the S&P 500, with a floor of 0% — clients can never lose principal to market downturns. Carries some of the highest commissions in the annuity category.

Index-Linked

MYGA (Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity)

A fixed rate locked in for the full contract term — typically 3 to 7 years. Clients love the certainty; agents love the clean, repeatable sales process with no ongoing service burden.

Fixed Rate
50–70
Age sweet spot for annuity buyers
  • Pre-retirees rolling over 401(k) or IRA funds
  • Business owners seeking tax-deferred growth
  • CD holders seeking higher guaranteed rates
  • Retirees wanting guaranteed lifetime income
  • Clients managing inheritance or lump-sum proceeds
  • Risk-averse investors leaving volatile markets

Who Buys Annuities?

Annuity buyers are not hard to find — they are sitting in every community, often already holding underperforming financial products. Your job is to show them a better option.

  • Clients aged 50–70 with accumulated assets ready to protect and grow
  • Anyone who fears outliving their savings or losing principal in a market crash
  • People rolling over 401(k) or pension funds into safer vehicles
  • CD holders frustrated by low bank rates looking for better returns
  • Clients who received an inheritance and need a safe place to park wealth
