A variety of sales ideas, product discussions/comparisons and miscellaneous thoughts.

April 2006

Beneficial Life Guaranteed Step-Up
Guaranteed Increasing Rate Annuity

A fixed cd type annuity with a distinct advantage, the rate will go up guaranteed.

When compared to a CD this annuity rate is higher and will increase, guaranteed.

It is simple and works like this:

· Year 1 is 3.75%

· Year 2 is 4.25%

· Year 3 is 4.50%

· Year 4 is 5.00%

· Year 5 is 6.00%

That is a 4.70% yield, and in year 5 the client is earning 6%. Sure looks better for the agent than those up-front bonus products that only pay the client in the 3% range in future years.

With a Commission of 2.00% (0-90) and a Full Death Benefit with Waivers it allows 10% Withdrawals In all years. 5 Year Surrender 7%,7%,7%,6%,5%,0%

Simple Equity Indexed Annuities

The Standard Insurance has entered the Index Annuity marketplace with two easy to understand client oriented products. The IGA 5 and IGA 7.

The products offer a tiered cap rate based on deposits under or over $100,000. The IGA 5 has a 5 year surrender 8,7,6,4,2 and a 4.50% commission up to age 80. The cap rate is currently 7.50% under $100,000 and 8.25% over $100,000. The IGA 7 has a 7 year surrender 9,8,7,5,6,4,2 and a 5.50% commission up to age 80. The cap rate is currently 7.75% under $100,000 and 8.50% over $100,000.
Both products have an incredibly easy crediting method, 100% of the S&P up to the cap. No other moving parts, no averaging, no spreads!
