  • The Truth About Annuity Leads (What Actually Converts)

    The Truth About Annuity Leads (What Actually Converts)
    Feb 26 2026
    Most annuity leads don’t fail because they’re “bad.”

    They fail because they’re unfiltered… or they’re not worked properly.

    In this episode, Roy sits down with Michael McMillan, President of Financialize, to break down what makes phone-verified annuity leads different — and why serious agents are seeing 26–34% short-term conversions and even higher long-term results when they stay consistent.

    We talk about:
    • What real lead verification looks like
    • Why most agents quit after 2 attempts (and how that kills production)
    • The 5-minute follow-up rule
    • How to revive old leads sitting in your CRM
    • Why December is a power month for front-loading production
    • The story of an agent who turned $500 into a $14M annuity year If you’re trying to scale your annuity business and build something consistent — not seasonal — this episode will shift how you think about marketing and reinvestment.

  • Why Your Index Annuity Illustration May Be Misleading

    Why Your Index Annuity Illustration May Be Misleading
    Feb 18 2026
    Index annuities can look incredible on an illustration — but how do they actually work?

    In this episode, we break down the mechanics behind cap rates, participation rates, renewal rate integrity, and why certain index strategies can produce eye-catching projections that don’t always hold up long term.

    You’ll learn:
    • The difference between cap rates and participation rates
    • Why renewal rates matter more than most agents discuss
    • How excess return and lesser-known indexes can inflate illustrations
    • Why consistency often beats flashy projections
    • How to properly set client expectations

    Whether you're an insurance agent or someone evaluating retirement strategies, this episode will help you better understand how index annuities function in the real world. Education matters. Expectations matter more.
