How to Sell Annuities Using Brokers Alliance: A Complete Guide for Insurance Agents

Annuities can be one of the most profitable - and client-beneficial - products in your portfolio. But selling annuities successfully requires more than a license. You need the right carriers, the right tools, and a support system that helps you close complex cases with confidence.

At Brokers Alliance, we help insurance agents sell annuities more effectively by offering top-tier products, high commissions, personalized case design, and marketing support. Whether you're new to annuities or scaling your production, here’s how to use Brokers Alliance to sell more annuities in 2025.

Step 1: Understand What Annuities You Can Sell

As a licensed agent, you have access to several types of annuities:

  • Fixed Annuities  -  Safe, predictable growth

  • Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs)  -  Growth tied to index performance with downside protection

  • Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGAs)  -  Like a CD, but with tax deferral

  • Single Premium Immediate Annuities (SPIAs)  -  Guaranteed income starting immediately

  • Registered Index-Linked Annuities (RILAs)  -  Higher potential growth with structured downside
     

Brokers Alliance helps you identify the right product fit for your clients' needs - whether it’s income, legacy planning, or accumulation.

Step 2: Get Contracted with Top Annuity Carriers

Step 3: Use Custom Case Design to Build Winning Proposals

Selling annuities often requires a detailed comparison of products, riders, and income options. That’s where our in-house annuity case design team comes in.
