Have you ever had to sell to a prospect who hated annuities?
Or, more specifically, have you ever had to sell to a prospect who has spent a lot of time listening to the “Ken Fishers” of the world?
In the digital age, many of your prospects’ sentiments about annuities are shaped by million-dollar ad campaigns from money managers who are looking to keep more AUM. The problem is that few prospects will freely ask questions like: “Why does Ken Fisher hate annuities?” Instead, these clients will come in with negative perceptions and hope to parse the truth for themselves without revealing their genuine objections.
The fallout? Prospects are bombarded with misconceptions, even if annuities could be the right fit for their financial strategies. But how can you educate clients without sounding like a salesperson?
Of course, most advisors will discuss the many benefits annuities provide like:
✅ No fees
✅ Tax advantages
✅ Very little (or no) risk
But in a recent session of our virtual advisor mastermind Inner Circle, our team delved a little bit deeper into this topic and revealed several proven strategies to win more business (without “selling”) and positioning the advisor as a trusted expert.
How to Sell to Prospects that HATE Annuities

Here’s some of what they discussed:
- An obscure fact about most money managers that reveal their true thoughts about annuities (that your clients have likely seen before).
- The one thing your prospects likely don’t know about their managed money (and how to use it to drive an ethical wedge away from “gurus”).
- Why agreeing with your clients’ skepticism can lead to MORE closed business.
In the era of financial infotainment, controversial headlines, and flashy marketing are, unfortunately, a major reason for missed business and “ghosting”.
