In this guide, insurance agents and financial advisors will be able to research 27+ insurance leads programs, including life insurance, health insurance, automobile insurance, commercial insurance, and home insurance. Annuity leads will be included as well.
Financial professionals will learn where to obtain required training, insurance, certifications, and how to obtain leads for free and required training.
If you’re new to selling insurance or annuities, this guide will provide everything you need to start selling. I can also refer insurance agents and financial advisors to an independent marketing organization that can help build your business from the ground up.
Important: The Annuity Expert is not an FMO/IMO nor a lead-generating program. This is simply a guide on generating insurance leads and annuity leads. If you need help with generating leads, marketing, and branding, fill out the form below. I can refer you to an FMO that can help you grow your business.
How to Sell Annuities
License to Sell Insurance Based Annuities
For insurance-based annuities, a life insurance agent must obtain a Life and Health Insurance License from your state. In addition, if you plan to sell annuities outside your home state, you need to obtain a non-resident life and health license from those states as well.
What are Insurance Based Annuities?
- Immediate Annuities (SPIA)
- Deferred Income Annuities (DIA and QLACS)
- Fixed Annuities
- Multi-Year Guarantee Annuities (MYGA)
- Fixed Index Annuities
- Medicaid Annuities
- Long Term Care Annuities
- Two Tier Annuities
- Secondary Market Annuities
What Licenses Are Required To Sell Variable Annuities?
For securities-based annuities, you need a Series 6 license in addition to a Life and Health License. This is just to sell variable annuities and indexed-linked annuities. Other investment products require additional licenses.
Required Training to Sell Annuities
- NAIC Annuity Suitability Training: A one-time training required by your state to sell any annuities.
- Product-Specific Training: For every annuity product sold, a course about the product being sold must be taken prior to soliciting the business.
- Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Continuing Credits (CE): Training taken every 2-years to maintain the Life and Health License

Annuity and Insurance Marketing Organizations
For most annuity companies, you need to go through a marketing organization to sell the products.
- Field Marketing Organization (FMO)
- Insurance Marketing Organization (IMO)
They’re the wholesalers of annuities and other insurance, kind of like pharmaceuticals reps for the pharma industry, but represent multiple insurance companies versus just one company.
Always ask for a “Street Level” compensation level. This is the standard level of commission.
Annuity and Life Insurance Comparison Software
You can get free annuity product comparison software called Super Agent Tools (SAT), an annuity database that can sort and filter products by a specific feature to find your client’s perfect annuity. From there, you can generate insurance quotes, organize client management software, and report production reports.
Annuity and Insurance Lead Generation
Here are a handful of annuity and insurance lead generation vendors to find your target audience. My advice is to test multiple new insurance lead sellers out first to find the program that generates the best insurance prospects for you. From there, weed out the lead providers that don’t have a solid conversion rate.
I also advise having low expectations with any of these vendors simply for the reason, response rate may vary.
Take this free directory, do the research, and don’t believe any hype from lead companies.
Insurance Leads Types
- Life Insurance Leads
