How to Beat the "Summer Slowdown" and Unlock Game-Changing Annuity Growth

Clients are traveling, prospects are distracted, and keeping your sales pipeline active can feel like an uphill battle.

As an independent producer specializing in the retirement market, you already know the drill: the "summertime slowdown" is real. Clients are traveling, prospects are distracted, and keeping your sales pipeline active can feel like an uphill battle. But what if you had an accumulation product in your toolkit so compelling that it practically sells itself—backed by a carrier with a 75-year commitment and a parent company that owns household names like Keurig, Dr. Pepper, and Peet’s Coffee?

In our 11th episode of Producers Engage, host Phil Dizon and WIN Group VP of Sales Brett Riley sat down with Mark Williams of Prosperity Life to showcase a product suite designed to completely disrupt the index annuity space: The Prosperity Path Pro Series.

Prosperity Life is redefining stability and growth in the fixed index annuity (FIA) market. With over $30 billion in assets under management and a unique, long-term backing structure, they are positioned for absolute reliability.
The Path Pro Series is built on three flexible chassis options--5-year, 7-year, and 10-year—making it easy to pivot based on your client's comfort level. The core features remain identical across all terms; the only things that change are the surrender charge schedule and the premium bonus. Perhaps the most powerful feature of the Path Pro Series is its guaranteed participation rates and caps for the entire duration of the surrender charge period.

Historically, agents and clients have watched with frustration as carriers lower caps and participation rates in years two, three, and beyond. Prosperity Life is one of only three carriers in the entire industry to eliminate this bait-and-switch. When your client signs their contract, their growth potential is legally locked in for the life of the surrender charge.

Prosperity Life offers two distinct versions of this product: the standard Path Pro (no bonus) and the Path Pro Max (which features some of the highest premium bonuses in the industry).
Depending on the contract term you select, the premium bonus scales generously to maximize your client's initial accumulation. Because Prosperity allows issue ages all the way up to 85, they also offer a highly competitive bonus tier for older retirees:

• 10-Year Chassis: This option delivers the ultimate immediate accumulation boost with a massive 16% premium bonus for clients up to age 78. For clients aged 78 to 85, the bonus is cut in half but still sits at an exceptional 8%.
• 7-Year Chassis: Designed for a balanced mid-term accumulation strategy, this option provides an 11% premium bonus for clients up to age 78, and a 5.5% bonus for clients between the ages of 78 and 85.
• 5-Year Chassis: Perfect for clients seeking high flexibility and a short commitment, this option offers a 4% premium bonus for ages up to 78, and a 2% bonus for older issue ages up to 85.

Prosperity Life doesn't just offer high bonuses; they back them up with incredible upside potential:

• A 9.5% S&P 500 Cap: Currently sitting at 9.5% on the 1-year point-to-point option, giving your risk-averse clients a fantastic opportunity to capture major market gains with a 0% floor.
• A 14% Volatility Control Index: While other carriers use restrictive 3% or 5% volatility control indexes that rarely yield real upside, Prosperity utilizes a powerful 14% volatility control option. This allows for massive participation rates and genuine, uncapped growth opportunities.

Right now, millions of retirees are holding older annuity contracts that are renewing at disappointingly low rates. With the Path Pro Max's 16% premium bonus, you can proactively approach these clients. By rolling their stagnant funds into a new Path Pro Max contract, the 16% bonus can completely offset any surrender charges they might incur from their old carrier. Your client moves into a modern product with higher upside and locked-in rates without losing a single penny of principal—and you write a brand-new commission.
