Annuities 

Adam 
Deferred Annuities
Some of our most popular traditional fixed annuity plans include:
  • 2 yr rates as high as 1.75%
  • 3 yr rates as high as 3.30% 
  • 5 yr rates as high as 4.20% 

Please call for product details and to confirm rates as they can change daily. 

Income Annuities
Diversification of a retiree's sources of income is now more important than ever.  Here are some great reasons to consider on our SPIAs:
  • Income Advance - Advances up to a year's income.
  • Commutation Feature - Provides control.  Future payments can be converted into a lump sum.
  • Income For Life riders can be turned on-and-off, and often provide premium bonuses that SPIAs don't. 
Contact Adam Frechette at ext. 230 for details to all of your annuity questions and sales support.  Please also try our online quote request tool.

Sales Tip 

SuccessWhen did you last read Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People?  Part two of the book offers six ways to make people like you.  Remember, consumers buy from people they like.
  1. Become genuinely interested in other people.
  2. Smile.
  3. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
  4. Be a good listener.  Encourage other people to talk about themselves.
  5. Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
  6. Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.

The book is a timeless masterpiece, and includes great examples of each of these tips. 

Thanks for taking the time to review our Newsletter, and Thank You for your business.
