When I'm talking to clients about annuities, I find that it's actually best to start with what their issues are, their needs, their goals, and simply identifying a solution instead of trying to educate them specifically on what an annuity is. What we're going to talk about is what it solves for, the solutions that it offers them, the peace of mind that they know they have a plan in place. I start by actually just identifying what their need is, what they're trying to accomplish. I think trying to explain to them the product in details doesn't make as much sense to them.

It has to be something put into everyday language. And so if you go through and you're asking questions, you identify what keeps them up at night, what concerns them, what they're trying to accomplish, how they've gone about it, what's worked and what hasn't worked. At the end of the day, you're taking what you learned from them in those discussions, summarizing and saying, Is this correct? If this is correct, what if we could?

What if we could give you that guaranteed income that you're looking for? What if we could take those concerns away so you don't have to be watching CNBC for half the day, wondering what's going to happen next, being worried what that might do to you and your retirement. But it's, again, identifying the need and simply delivering a solution.

You have to explain it, but if you something that you can relate to what's actually concerning them, what they're looking to identify as a solution, it becomes a much simpler process.
