Closed my first annuity case last night on one of my Medicare husband and wife clients! I believe it was all about the trust and relationship since I have been helping them for 3 years. I have written about 2.5 million in premium over the last 3 years BUT I had my partner run them with me and we split commissions. (He was the expert) Thanks to the event in Austin with Roy, Garret and the whole team, I was able to get the knowledge, inspiration and confidence to now run these on my own!! THANK YOU ALL!!!

Just funded over 500k on my way to Greece for a few weeks, this has been the best year for annuities, especially fias, since I started in 96. Same client is going in deep on a kaizen as well!
